Kool-Aid Pickles





Yuck. But apparently baby dills seeped in Kool-Aid is popular in the Mississippi Delta region. I call this an abomination. Unfortunately, it's too late to stop it. The Kool-Aid pickle has claimed the lives of many.

Even Kraft (who owns the trademark on Kool-Aid) is shocked.

Upon learning of the pickles, Bridget MacConnell, a senior manager of corporate affairs at Kraft, recovered, and then pronounced, “We endorse our consumers’ finding innovative ways to use our products.”

This is codespeak for, "What have I done? What evil have I helped perform? This monstrosity must stop!"

Alas! It looks like Ms. MacConnell is too late. The Koolickle is soon to be trademarked.
