Vlasic Pickles
Vlasic pickles are great - one of the best brands of pickles out there, in my opinion. The pickles are thick, crispy, firm, juicy and salty. Very salty. In fact, that's the downside to pickles. If you eat just one whole Vlasic pickle, there aren't many calories, just 5, but there are 210 mg of sodium, which is 9% of the recommended daily amount. That's really not too outrageous, but people with (or with a family history of hypertension) have to be careful about consuming too much sodium in their diet. Vlasic also makes smaller snack size baby Dill Pickels (Kosher). One serving, 5 of these small pickles, has 280 mg sodium which is 12% of the RDA. One 16 ounce bottle costs of Vlasic pickles costs about $3.00. If you don't overdo sodium in other foods, I think most of us will be able to enjoy a pickle spear or two, without worrying too much about the sodium, and really enjoy the fact that we are only getting 5 calories too. As usual, moderation is key. Comments

I'm a big pickle fan too, and the Vlasic brand is my favorite. I think the kinds you buy refrigerated (like the Vlasic) are the crunchiest.
My favorite is the Hearty Garlic Kosher Dills. Yummmmmm.
