Here in San Antonio, we have pickle flavored popsicles - not sweet, and chile-flavored popsicles, flavored with lime, but not sweet either. These are called paletas, and are sold from carts all around town, along with less local flavors such as strawberry, pineapple, watermelon.

I dunno, I think these are pretty intimidating. Growing up, my grandparents always jarred their own pickles. And now it's hard to love any pickles that aren't super dilly & garlicky. The very idea of *kool-aid* marinated pickles is rather petrifying. I watched the episode of Alton Brown's "Feasting on Asphalt", though, and if he could do it, I'm sure I'd try too given the chance.

I've tried these.... they're pretty tasty for a couple of bites, and then they're just overwhelming.

Yeah, but how are they on a cheeseburger?

You people are weak minded fools, scared of a pickle?

They might be interesting--sweet and sour. But I could believe what Jonathan says, that after a few bites, they're too much.

Pickles and kool-aid is something that I grew up eating. I ate it a little differently though... what we do is take a kool-aid packet (usually tropical) tear of the top and dip the pickle in the packet... enjoy. My mouth waters just thinking of it. *Mental Note* Add pickles and tropical kool-aid to shoping list.
