The pickle thing is too weird. I like pickles. But (especially unsliced mini cucumber pickles) - pickles are a snack that people generally consume maybe 1-3 per episode? And they're durable too; you can fish around for a pickle in a jar without damaging anything.

Understand about snack consumption volume...but hey I have to say the grand kids got me going on Goldfish...again. We get a bag at the grocery store once in a while (for Home use) and one for the grand kids. The home one lasts about 3 sittings over a movie or two. So my wife has been bugging me to just get the ginormous milk carton of them when we go to the store...It's Cheaper...Right! But I keep telling her, new pants cost a lot more and I have an agreement thing with my brother that if either one of us gets overhang...we put us out of our misery.

Now what we need is Grocers that don't crush the chips/cracker in a bag/box (Hence Pringles) and put them on the shelf packed so tight you have to crush more to get them out! I made a packer go get me a new bag after he squashed them in the bag he was packing after I hand picked one that wasn't crushed...actually got cheers from someone in line. Other concerns for the future is Packing your own grocery's when you by $200 worth or Grappling with the ghoulish "Self Checkout"...gas is bad enough. Let's see. I buy/bring my own bags, pay exorbitant prices for Dairy and meat, then load it on a conveyor to short not to stack them up and if by chance the checker isn't packing and the packers MIA as usual, the lines around the corner, - Oh I'll pack my $$$ own for you...how's that! At least the cold stuff will go in the cold bag...Getting to be an old fart I think. Another new tool/storage device would be the Bag Storage system so they don't get strewn all over the car willy nilly waiting for the spoils of wintertime war to infiltrate the food transport mechanisms.

As for the pickles device, I still don't see how you get it in the jar without removing the pickles first, other than the Peter Piper which appears to come with it. Me, I'm a Vlasic Kosher fan...one or two and I'm good for the day....baby sweets sometime scratch an itch once in a while also. I get it about fishing around and being able to lick the fingers after retrieval especially if a fork isn't readily available...or in a hurry. Haven't found pickles to match the ones from the "General Store" (90 years old) where my Gpa used to live in Illinois, but there was a Deli chain called Perry's around here that used to make their own, almost as good and a requisite accompaniment to their knock out homemade pastrami sandwich.

Oops,

I spewed again...
