Most likely they mean the brine in pickled cucumbers. In this country when
people say pickles, they mean pickled cucumbers. There are other pickled
foods but cucumbers are most common.

I just looked it up. It said it is good specifically for cramps after
exercise. They think salt is the reason.

Yes, I agree! I have heard that about salt before. When I get the leg
cramps, my doc always gave me quinine which worked well.
