Kool-Aid pickles? (NY Times link.) Apparently certain stores, mostly in the South, have taken to marinating dill pickles in Kool-Aid, turning them amazingly bright colors. "It's a candy pickle," said one kid.

About Me
- Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
- I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog, Facebook, and Twitter.

Eek! This looks like the kind of hell we used to create; tomato cookies, beef jerky ice cream. Barf!
