I also thought capers and I don.t see why?

There is a phrase ..to cut a caper...
and capers can be pickled

caper as you obviously know is a food that is sliced and pickled for consumption but the terms cut and pickled are also slang for being drunk. Caper means to act in a frivolous manner, to mess about act the fool etc which drunks often do.

That i would presume is the logic behind the answer if indeed it is capers

intelligence means information (as well as cognitive ability) a news reel shows information
