Gummy Pickles Are Here, and They Actually Taste Like Pickles

Yummmmmmmmmm…

If you’re a pickle lover, there’s something on the market that you might want to check out. I count myself a pickle lover, and when I recently met someone who told me they thought pickles are disgusting, I decided I didn’t want to have any contact with them anymore because that is BLASPHEMY.

But let’s move on because there is a gummy pickle on the market that you should try.

NOT QUITE NEWS: A company called Vat19, clearly catering to the needs of the pickle-obsessed from around the world, have…

These gelatinous gherkins come to us from a company called Vat19. Here’s a description of the product from the website:

“Previously, if you were a fan of brined cucumbers and delicious gummy goodness, snack-searching would put you in a real pickle. But with the Gummy Pickle, you get the best of both worlds.

This all-gummy “vegetable” is flavored like a sour dill pickle with the chewy texture of gummy. While still slightly sweet, the predominantly pickle flavor and realistic appearance will trick your taste buds into thinking you plucked it right from the jar.

If you’re a pickle fan, you’re sure to love this gummy treat—warts and all.”

Vat19 has a bunch of cool and quirky products for you to buy, including Pizza Cotton Candy, a Ramen Noodle Candle, and the World’s Largest Gummy Worm. Yeah, I think I’m gonna become a regular customer of this site…

WEIRD FOOD ALERT: Gummy pickles! They look & taste like regular pickles, but they have the texture of traditional gummy bears. Would you eat one – YAY OR NAY?

You Should Think About Giving Your Loved Ones a Tasty Pickle Bouquet

Do you have a special occasion coming up? Instead of a traditional bouquet, why not gift your loved ones a bouquet made entirely of pickles?

Pickle bouquets are similar to other edible bouquets, such as fruit arrangements. But in this case, they consist of pickled vegetables, including peppers, tomatoes, whole pickles, and sliced pickles. Plus, bulbs of garlic and fresh dill add some extra flair.

All the different items make for a surprisingly pretty array of colors, much like a traditional bouquet. That said, they’re very different from the bouquets you’re used to.

The pickle bouquet was originally invented by Grillo’s Pickles for Valentine’s Day. The pickles in their bouquets range from sweet to sour to spicy.

“Not only is a pickle bouquet more beautiful than a dozen red roses, and healthier than a standard box of chocolate, it’s also far more creative,” Travis Grillo, the company’s founder and CEO, told Today.

“We know there are a lot of pickle lovers out there that would love nothing more than to get a Valentine’s Day gift loaded with their favorite snack.”

Grillo’s isn’t actually selling pre-made pickle bouquets — but you can make your own using the instructions on their website.

First, pick a selection of your (or your loved one’s) favorite pickles. Try to get a few different shapes, like spears, whole pickles, and slices. Also, look for different flavors, like dill and bread-and-butter. Don’t forget to pick up some other veggies and herbs for decoration.

Then pierce the pickles with bamboo kebab skewers and toothpicks to make a “stem.”

From there, you can either arrange the stems in a vase or tissue paper. They’re heavier than flowers, so you’ll have to play around a bit to get everything to stay up properly. If using a vase, Grillo’s recommend using floral foam to stick the skewers into.

And voilà! Your perfect pickle present.

You Can Now Buy Pickle-Flavored Lip Balm

You need lip balm in your life, especially in the dry winter. Lip balms usually come in the same few types of flavor — vanilla, berry, and mint are typical.

But if you’re looking to branch wayyy out from those, there’s a new pickle-flavored lip balm that may appeal to you.

The new lip balm is formulated to taste just like dill pickles, and it comes from BluePoppyBath, a seller on Etsy. Aside from the bizarre scent and flavor, the lip balm is similar to other natural lip balms. It comes in a push tube and contains nourishing and moisturizing ingredients such as cocoa butter, shea butter and vitamin E.

The item description says the pickle lip balm “sounds weird” but is “strangely addicting!”

Pickles are one of those food items that one can easily become obsessed with out of nowhere — BluePoppyBath even recommends the lip balm as a pregnancy craving gift (that’s probably why so many pickle novelty items exist).

In addition to pickle lip balm, there have been a ton of other weird pickle-flavored items over the years, like pickle ice cream, pickle candy canes, pickle vodka, pickle mints, pickle marshmallows, and pickle cotton candy. The list is basically endless!

But unlike these pickle-flavored foods, pickle lip balm will stay on your lips for a while, so you can enjoy that pickle-y goodness for as long as possible.

This Is Why Your Sandwich Is Served with a Pickle

If you’re like this guy, you’re not complaining that a delicious dill pickle comes automatically with your deli sandwich.

If you’re like other people, you slide it quickly off your plate and lament all of the places where the vinegar-y juice touched the rest of your food.

No matter how you feel about pickles, you probably don’t know why, exactly, they’ve found their way onto deli plates everywhere – but you’re about to find out.

Pickles themselves have be around (and adored by many) since as far back as 2400 B.C.E. They gained popularity in the States after the first Jewish immigrants found their way to New York from eastern Europe, and as those immigrants opened delis, they offered the pickle as a palate cleanser.

The acidity of the pickle is meant to let you experience the sharp contrast in meat flavors more fully.

As more and more Jewish delis adopted the practice, the pickle’s popularity soared in New York City. By the 1930s, pickle vendors were popping up all over the Lower East Side, inciting “Pickle Wars” among competing vendors.

Once it had taken NYC by storm, the pickle made its way across the States, until now, it’s more common to see a pickle on you deli plate than not. Most delis don’t even list it as a side; people just assume it will be included.

And if it’s not there?

Well, I guess some people will be upset, and others will breathe a sigh of relief. To each his own.

This is still America, after all.
