At my grade school, for 35-cents you could buy one of those little cups full of ice cream that you had to eat with a wooden stick. It wasn't the best thing ever, but it provided a nice break between cutting out construcion paper and wondering why girls didn't have penises. Apparently, in Texas, kids prefer frozen pickle juice to other stuff that actually tastes, you know, good. The product page for Pickle Sickles makes an interesting marketing choice by calling the product "bizarre tasting." While it's accurate, I'm not sure it's going to get people jumping for the order button. It looks like a joke, but I can assure you that it's 100% serious. Maybe if I start feeling brave, I'll do a taste test, but don't count on it.
