I have not the words

That my friends is a pickle. Specifically a Kool-Aid Pickle.
I am not fucking with you.
The NY Times had an article yesterday called “A Sweet So Sour- Kool-Aid Dills” about a growing trend amongst students in the South who are eating some intriguingly horrible combinations of food:
Warm Cheetos & Ice Cream
Blow Pops & Pickles
Lemons & Peppermint Straws (which will continue the trend we are developing on this site of discussing Easting Lemons)
But specifically the article focused on these home brewed pickles. They come in every flavor combination imaginable made by the Kool-Aid folks. The recipe listed in the article sounds like it will rot your teeth if you read it too many times let alone eat it. And yet I am intrigued and kind of want to make them (though I know my wife would kill me… though my dentist would probably pleased with the extra cavities I developed). Reading is believing on this one.

As with Anna Karina, we prefer to remember the U.S.A as she was in the 1960s.

I think they meant “hot Cheetos” as in spicy hot, not temperature hot. In any case, it doesn’t sound good. On the other hand, I did start a batch of Kool-Aid pickles the day I read the NYT article- haven’t tried ‘em yet, though…

I ate these growing up in South Texas, but we called them bloody pickles. They only taste right if you use cherry flavored Kool-Aid.
