      I can give you one explanation to it. Which is the one criteria I had for disliking this video. It is not about the guy talking about the pickles and their difference. I actually wanted to watch the video because that reason. The dislike comes from the fact of the "guessing" which one is more expensive than the other. Of course the presenter had already seen the more expensive than the cheaper, he was told the order of it. Making the video no legit. Do you believe how ridiculous would be to be a pickle expert and fail in this video. Embarrassing isn't it? So it is the fraud, sham, deceitfulness in this video having someone to GUESS.

      @@zerho21 To me, Korean and Japanese rice are the best tasting and it's usually pretty expensive. Chinese rice is very aromatic and is also very good. We usually buy Thai rice as that's what I'm used to eating and it's only like $50 for a 25 lb bag. Also very good. I'm not a huge fan of Indian rice such as basmati as to me, it's expensive and just not good rice as it doesn't have any flavor and it's kind of a harder rice whereas I like mine to be a little softer. I do like sticky rice a lot and it's my prefer rice but we normally don't eat it too often. That's my take on rice as I have no clue what type of rice it is other than where they're from and that's how I categorize rice is where they're from.

    The expert is Bob McClure of McClure Pickles which he started with his brother, Joe, in 2006.
    “Using their maternal great-grandmother’s spicy pickle recipe, brothers Bob, 35, and Joe, 33, have become a legend in the world of artisanal cukes, but they never planned it that way. Starting with that original spicy pickle, the McClure’s started peddling their goods in 2006, and today, though they still stick to cucumbers, they have garlic-dill, sweet and spicy, and arguably the best Bloody Mary mix ever made. Though you can find McClure’s Pickles all over the country at select stores, and even in specialty shops in Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and South Korea, the operation remains small and family owned. From his office in Michigan, Bob McClure took the time to fill us in on what makes his pickles so darn special.”

    I never think I’ll be interested in these vids because they’re so specific in topic, but the experts explain things so well that I get sucked in and learn something every time. Who knew there’s so much to each individual every day food item.

      @@cynthiaerune3554 Dangerous? No. Perhaps going to result in some foul bowel issues? Yeah. I know old people that swear a glass of pickle juice a day helps keep them regular or gives some other benefit. Does that prove anything? Yes, that people can drink substantial amounts of pickle juice every day and not die.
