Most Expensive Tuna In The World Sells For Over A Million At Tokyo…
Back in March, Andrew wrote a post about a woman who was terrified of peas to the point where she couldn't even be in the same aisle with them when shopping. I assumed that that was a one-off incident and that an actual fear of a food product wasn't keeping many people awake at night. While I can't actually speak to what they do with their nights, there are more food-phobes out there and they are spending their days on national TV. I saw a link to this video while reading the Amateur Gourmet. The episode of Maury is titled "My Fear of Mustard and Pickles Is Ruining My Life."
The title just about says it all, doesn't it? Watch the clip above and you can see the girl (a waitress) with the pickle phobia visit a pickle factory before they attempt to cure her. You might want to turn the sound on your speakers down, too, as there is a fair bit of screaming involved.

I have even written a book about this experience. Hopefully this girl will get medication and therapy to relive her suffering and reduce her symptoms.

If you don't like pickles, then dont work as a waitress--there are plenty of jobs out there that you dont have to see pickles, but now that you told us that you won't serve pickles, i'm not coming down to your place and get screamed in my face that you hate seeing the sight of pickles--god, girl, get a life, grow up. Let go and let God.

7-06-2006 @9:55PM Heidi said... There are so many things in the world to be afraid of. Pickles? Please. Get a REAL problem. There are people who have been abused, molested, told that people are not trustworthy and hence are really suspicious of anyone who approaches them and this woman is afraid of PICKLES? I say deal with this issue. Can we have someone on the show who has a REAL problem? I have had some of the above situations in my life happen and have had to readjust my thinking. I mean we are talking about PICKLES. They have no legs, no arms, no mouth, can't move and this woman gets this hysterical? Gee, I only wish that being afraid of pickles was my biggest issue. Try having a physical relationship with someone and having a flashback to an abusive time in your life. And having to have that person talk you through it. THAT is a problem.

Hey, I'm an EMT, I've seen EVERTYTHING........I could just see the medical report, "girl with pickle stuck in her _____" I guess the relish didnt help either......

What I find revoltingly frightening is that we, as Americans, nay, adult humans with sense, allow screaming morons like this to trick us into putting them on television! Then to watch the host console her after she freaks out like a lunatic, running through a tv studio! This is more demeaning to viewers than Ricki or Jery Springer!
