you mean the same concept as salt tablets? like the sodium holds the water in your system. if your having trouble with that maybe try laying off the morning coffee till after the ride, or not taking the soda before hand, or avoiding caffeine all together, as it basically flushes your system of water. my old running coach couldnt have drilled us enough on that concept. diuretic i think the word is. save your mouth the agony of pickle juice, just drink water. or milk. milk is just water with some extra calcium and protein. good stuff milk. better than pickle juice anyhow. eek.
