Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
When I was a young, every summer my cousin Harlan would come to spend a few weeks with my family. He lived in Hawaii, so coming to Los Angeles or Portland seemed like a strange way for him to spend part of his summer vacation, but he seemed to enjoy it and I loved to see him, so everyone was happy. About a month before he was scheduled to arrive, we would start saving pickle juice for him, because he loved the stuff (you weren't expecting that one, were you?). I always thought it was gross, but he looked forward to the jars of briny, green-tinged liquid, so we kept doing it.
Apparently, Harlan isn't the only one out there who is partial to pickle juice. The Pickle Sickle is a pickle juice pop that you can drink from the tube or freeze it and enjoy it as you would a popsicle. The company that created this "treat" is selling it to schools as a way to move away from the corn syrup filled Otter Pops (and other sweet frozen desserts).
What do you guys think? Horrible idea or intriguing treat?

They have a page on their website touting how much kids will enjoy it:

but I had to, cause in my house my mother usually beat me to our jar.
I can't wait to try these. they sound awesome.
