Many netizens were disgusted after watching this video as it is an unusual combination of sweet, sour and spicy, while others said they tried the cocktail and found it “surprisingly delicious.”

Health content researcher Sandra Vigeliene explains that the drink is unlikely to cause any potential adverse effects. However, people with a sensitive digestive system may find this blend less tolerable.
Like other fermented foods and drinks, some pickle juices contain probiotics, the good bacteria that promote gut health. However, probiotics are absent in pickles made with a mixture of vinegar and salt because no fermentation occurs. Pickle juice has many health benefits including recovery from muscle cramps and is a source of sodium and potassium. The pop star’s drink also contains Diet Coke which, despite being sugar-free, has health risks. The sweet taste of Diet Coke is provided by an artificial sweetener called aspartame. Last year, the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans.
However, the US Food and Drug Administration refuted the assessment, saying the studies on which the IARC review was based had significant deficiencies. The agency said the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives considers current levels of aspartame use safe.
Not everyone’s cup of tea

This drink can increase sodium intake and irritate the gastrointestinal tract.
