There are some people who absolutely love pickles and think that they should be a part of every meal. They might even snack on pickles between meals and sometimes, they could even make an entire meal out of a pickle. Then again, there are other people who try to avoid pickles at all costs. If you happen to be somebody that loves pickles, we have good news for you. It seems as if a new food product has hit the market, the pickle ice pop.
We all love Popsicles because they are perhaps the perfect snack for the summer time. Not only are they inexpensive, they are refreshing and they keep the kids happy. Of course, kids tend to be picky eaters but even those who are picky eaters might still shy away from this new flavor. Then again, they might just love it.
Pickle Popsicles are now showing up in the frozen food section of many supermarkets across the United States.
You might hear about a new flavor of potato chip on occasion or perhaps a new type of cookie. Do you run out to the store to grab it? You might just want to run out and get yourself a pickle popsicle.
There may be some people who wonder why anybody would come up with a pickle popsicle in the first place. Popsicles tend to be sweet and pickles tend to be sour. Even the sweet variety can be tangy!
The curiosity may just get to you, however, and when you try them, you may be hooked.
You might just find that they are delicious out-of-the-box or perhaps they are an acquired taste. You really have to try it to find out.
You’ll be happy to know that pickle Popsicles are not all that expensive. You can buy them on Amazon in an eight pack for $9.27.
One of the questions that many people have is, what are they made up?
Sadly, they aren’t made out of pickles but that doesn’t mean they are bad for you. They are pickle flavored using the brine that is in pickle jars. The ingredients list includes water, vinegar, salt, glycerine, calcium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, sodium benzoate, natural flavoring, magnesium citrate, guar gum, turmeric and xantham gum.
In other words, they are good for you.
Athletes will appreciate the fact that it helps them to rehydrate and to prevent muscle cramps. They are also a 0 cal treat.
Many people who left feedback on Amazon are in love with pickle Popsicles.
In the popsicle and juice bar category, it is listed as the number four best-selling product. It also has four out of five stars.
That doesn’t mean that everybody understands how to enjoy them.
According to the top review, it is: “A funny surprise for guests,” and that it’s “SUPER fun to offer to people who are over at my house though. Sometimes they’ll say that they love pickles so they’ll TOTALLY eat the whole thing… seeing their face after the first lick is hilarious.”
You could consider them to be a prank but do you really want to be ‘that guy’?
The product is made by Van Holton’s, who also makes many other pickle products.
The company sells just about every pickle product imaginable, whether it is single pickles in the pouch or bulk pickles in a jar.
The single pickles in the pouch are something you may want to consider because they come in 11 different flavors. You might just want to go for the humdrum “Hearty Dill Pickle-In-A-Pouch.” Then again, you may want to try the Hot and Spicy, Garlic Joe or Sour. The sky is the limit.
People are also happy because the company takes care of some charitable organizations as well. This includes the Boys And Girls Club of America and others.
Is there anything better than a pickle?
