Patrick Mahomes caught drinking strange liquid on live TV as internet triggers wild theories
Fans thought Patrick Mahomes was drinking something unusual before the Chiefs game, but the reality was much different.
Nothing is more impressive than watching Patrick Mahomes recover from a serious knee injury and return to doing what he does best: winning games. Yet in Week 2 of the NFL season , as he tried to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a 2-0 start, the quarterback became a trending topic for a completely unexpected reason.
Minutes before the matchup against the Indianapolis Colts , photos and videos began circulating on social media showing Mahomes drinking a mysterious yellowish liquid from a small bottle. Speculation spread quickly, with some users even claiming it was vodka.
Nothing could have been further from the truth
What Mahomes was drinking was pickle juice , a beverage the Chiefs have used for years to help prevent and relieve muscle cramps .
The curious moment became a clear example of why it’s best not to jump to conclusions based on a viral video. Although there is no definitive scientific consensus on the effectiveness of pickle juice, its distinctive yellowish color alone was enough to spark a wave of theories that turned out to be completely false.
