“Pickle juice isn’t juiced pickles”

You can squeeze and crush oranges to get orange juice, or apples to get apple juice, but pickle juice isn’t from juiced pickles. “Yo where does pickle juice come from???” was posted on Twitter by Jeff Grant on May 4, 2011. “If orange juice comes from squeezing oranges, apple juice from squeezing apples, where does pickle juice come from?” was posted on Twitter by LignumDiscord on May 10, 2019.
 
Pickle juice is from the brine that cucumbers/pickles are soaked with in a pickle jar. The brine can be made of saltwater and vinegar. “Only a few months ago did i find out pickle juice does not in fact come from pickles but is basically just vinegar” was posted on Twitter by Davis on February 25, 2018.

I love the cucumber water that spas have. It’s so refreshing. It’s like a little spa for your mouth. It’s funny how cucumber water can taste so much better than pickle juice, even though it’s from the exact same source.

History in a Jar: The Story of Pickles
Tori Avey | September 3, 2014
(...)
Pickles are created by immersing fresh fruits or vegetables in an acidic liquid or saltwater brine until they are no longer considered raw or vulnerable to spoilage. When we think of pickles, cucumbers commonly come to mind. Pickled cucumbers are often lacto-fermented in saltwater brine. During this process lactic microbial organisms develop, which turn the naturally occurring sugars of foods into lactic acid. In turn, the environment becomes acidic quickly, making it impossible for any spoiling bacteria to multiply. Cucumber pickles can also be made with a salt and vinegar brine, a popular choice for home cooks. The brine, known as “pickle juice,” is sometimes used by athletes to treat dehydration, though it has yet to be proven as a true remedy.

If pickles are pickled cucumbers, then where does pickle juice come from, and why is it called pickle juice?

If you use pickle juice to turn cucumbers to pickles, where did the first pickle juice come from https://twitter.com/313doe/status/1165811998753320960/video/1
