The Gummy Pickle is the Greatest Gummy Since the Bear

I’m a huge fan of gummy bears, but not the crap stale ones from Haribo you get down at Walmart that leave you with an aching jaw. I’m more into the always soft and yummy Albanese variety. I also happen to love pickles, and was famous for my pickle concoctions growing up that basically involved pouring all the stuff in the spice cabinet on the pickles and eating them no matter how disgusting.

Given my affinity towards gummies and pickles, VAT19 is showing off something I want to try badly. It’s a giant gummy pickle. Naturally, the gummy tastes like a sour dill pickle, none of that sweet pickle bullshit here.

You can get your own gummy pickle via VAT19 for $5.99, plus another $4.99 for shipping. They’re currently out of stock, but more are coming soon. Or you can hop over to Amazon and get one for $14.48. Yes, that is a lot for a gummy pickle. Don’t judge me!

The 700 Pickle Whopper is Brine-tastic

I really like pickles. Growing up my friends and I would snack on big bowls of them frequently, and I was even a bit of a pickle making master. My pickle seasoning process involved mostly sprinkling some of everything my dad had in the spice cabinet on the pickles and eating up. But I’ve never eaten a burger with this many pickles on it.

It appears that Burger King in Japan will make you whatever you want if you have the loot in your pocket to pay for it. The dudes from Rocket News 24 spent about $89 on a Double Whopper with over 700 pickle slices crammed on it. That is too many pickles even for a pickle fan like me. Plus it’s a Whopper, which typically means stale bun and meat that was fresh two days ago.

I wouldn’t spend $89 for anything at Burger King this side of that awesome Hershey’s chocolate pie they offer. These same Rocket News guys did order a Whopper with 1050 pieces of bacon before. That I could totally get behind.

Personalized advertising is something that’s been promised/threatened by science fiction for awhile. Notably in movies like Minority Report and quite humorously in video games like Mass...
