This is the book that I use. I have never actually boiled the cans shut to go in the attic, however, instead just keeping them in the fridge (and EATING THEM!).

You could probably make some kind of drink with it.

Some parts of the internet say baseball pitchers use it to toughen their hands and prevent blisters; other parts of the internet debunk this.

You can pickle other stuff in it, yeah. Some of the expensive small-batch pickles these days will actually point this out on the label (I think Rick's was the most recent one I noticed doing this).

i got a mandolin for my birthday (4 months ago) and keep meaning to get it out and try this, but i still haven't gotten around to it!

Sure, and also good for pickled eggs. Put a couple peeled hard-boiled eggs in the liquid and leave in the fridge for a week before trying one. Similar with sliced zucchini or cukes or sweet onion.
