<p style="text-align:center;">They are freezing as I type.  I will let you know.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And since you, like my husband, may be curious &#8211; they come in packs of <strong>20</strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Edit to add, my husband says the bidding starts at $100</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Edit Again:  And I quote my FaceBook (tacky but not as bad as a freakin&#8217; Pickle Pop!), &#8220;<strong>I am</strong></em><span class="status_body"><em><strong> surprisingly surprised to report that Pickle Sickles are indeed as disgusting as they sound. Like eating a scratch and sniff pickle sticker</strong></em>.&#8221;  It was bad.  Really bad. I touched my tongue to the frozen greenness and immediately knew I would never do it again.  The good news is that I have my Yankee Swap all set for next year!  You have to look on the positive side people! </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span class="status_body">Someone turned pickle juice into money.  Respect (and puke).<br />
