Who doesn’t love a pickle in a pouch? You are at the gas station, and are struck by a sudden pickle craving? Pickle in a pouch. You want something that is easy to carry in your purse? Pickle in a Pouch. You need a pickle that will store well in a box under your desk? Pickle in a pouch! The most popular pickle in a pouch brand is Van Holten. In 1898, Van Holten started as a company that sold vinegar and sauerkraut. Around 1939, there was a demand that was not being met for individually wrapped pickles. Van Holten saw this need and jumped on the opportunity, or at least that is my interpretation of their history.
Tonight: Garlic Gus. Garlic Gus was very good. All the pickle in the pouch products are so large that I think they can be a small meal! The color is very green. Not as pleasant green like a pickle that is organic, deli style or home pickled, but it reminds me of pickles from when I was little so I like it! The pickle had a strong taste. I would argue that it wasn’t the most Garlicy pickle I have ever had. Gus tastes like it was made with Garlic Salt or Garlic Powder as oppose to real garlic cloves. I still think it was delicious! Overall, thumbs up to Garlic Gus and he will definitely be stuck in my purse on occasion!
My family loves pickle in a pouch. As I was eating Gus, Alberto would not quit mooching! Tonight I bought my supply of pickle in a pouch pickles for pickle in a pouch weekend and brought them home. These pickles aren’t safe in my home. I think there is a good chance I will have to go the store again to restock. This house is full of pickle thieves.
We can all thank my friend Dana for passing on today’s pickle news. Yesterday a woman found a cheeseburger and a pickle in her car’s gas tank. Here is the news story: Police: Cheeseburger found in SC woman's gas tank. Dana was sure that it was actually the pickle that did the $1,000 of damage to the car. My only question is, who would waste a pickle like that? Thank you Dana for providing this important news story, and more importantly thank you for always supporting my crazy eccentricities. Dana gave me one of the most important tools I own, a pickle fork. This pickle fork not only aids in getting the pickles out of the jar, but it is of course a novelty fork, so it is shaped like a pickle too. Gifts like that have to be from the heart. Thank you Dana.
