Here’s the thing, is it preceded by a shot of whiskey? In which case, yes. Oh, okay. So they call that a Pickleback. Pickleback, yeah. A Pickleback. And what does that do for you when your fast chasing it with pickle? Is that to like… It kind of neutral, it makes it taste a little bit sweeter. It, it, it’s just a nice flavor combo, honestly. Yeah, it takes the edge off, y’all. Yeah, really, really. Good chaser. Takes the bite out a little bit. I like the name Pickle, Pickleback. Pickleback. Pickleback. You don’t have a lot of backs in life. It’s not a milk back. What would that be? Soda… Uh, uh. I’m gonna get, I’m gonna get rid of this. You get milk on your back though? Yeah. You know it. Then, so you’ve ranked, at Sporked, pickles. But you have not ranked, where you’ve you’re leaving it to us to… Is one of these pickles your favorite pickle though? Yes. Okay. One of these pickles… But you’re gonna have to go to Sporked.com to find out the best dill pickle. Exactly. The best bread and butter pickle. What? Oh boy, those are good. Yeah. The, the rankings are all happening. It’s, it’s over there at Sporked.com. We’re starting with Dietz and Watson, one of my favorite duos. Uhm, freshly packed and super crunchy kosher pickles. Just comes in a plastic, plastic jar. I mean, it is the brightest brine. Yeah, color wise, we’re looking at ecto color here. They’re putting some food coloring in there. That is, that’s great. How do they get that? How do they get that? Oh, turmeric. Turmeric. Are you gonna do a shot or are you gonna, or are you gonna sip it? Oh no, I’m not gonna have a… Sip it. Sip it and savor it. You can’t have this much pickle juice. It’ll make you upset for the rest of the day. She like it. She likes. She’s taunting you. Okay, Justine. Well, I’m not going on that train. It’s good. I’m not going on a pickle juice train. Oh, it’s nice though. It’s like, it’s good for uh, like if you run a marathon or something. Well, I’m not planning on doing that. It’s go electrolytes. Is that what they’re doing… It’s what I just did before I got here. At marathons? Yeah. You’re like, you’re running by somebody and you’re grabbing the things and it’s pickle juice? You’re grabbing a whole jar of pickles and then you just chug the juice. I saw that HomeState was at the LA Marathon and they would pass out cookies or flour tortillas as you pass by. And I was thinking like… Carbs. I just might do a marathon for that tortilla. I could just bring you a tortilla seed. Listen, I eat HomeState every weekend, but I just… Make a run to it. I was compelled. Oh, it’s so good. Stevie, run to the tortilla. Now I’ve always been… Klaussen I love a Klaussen pickle because it is pretty, you know, it’s got a crunch to it. But I’ve always been disappointed in the fact that it looks like they’re just in water. You know what I’m saying? You want your pickle brine to be colorful. Case in point, look at that. Yeah. And it has seeds in it. There’s a lot of seeds floating. Well, all of these, all of these have stuff floating. Oh, but that’s a good, that’s a good taste though. It’s rounder, it’s softer. It’s not as like sharp and briny. Wow. Yeah, it doesn’t… That’s kind of nice. It doesn’t have the same bite. Doesn’t have, doesn’t pack a punch It doesn’t. It’s saltier. Yeah, yes, it’s very salty. Oh, you go, you go back to the first one. Klaussen’s way.. I can’t go back to the first one. Klaussen’s way better. Really? You think so? Justine can’t go back to the first one. I can’t go back guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can remember. It’s our little trick. Let me look for that pickle for a second. Well, the interesting thing is, because we can go back. Did you do something sly and just throw it away? This tastes like seawater. Yeah. It’s so salty. I think it’s very briny. It’s just nothing but… I do want some acidity in my pickle brine. Like seawater. I just don’t… What do you look for? But Rhett, Rhett said that, Rhett you said that the Klaussen was better Did he? Rhett, you said… Yay. What did you do? You found my pickle You disappointed? Well, you hid it on the floor right, right behind me. I thought it would be funny, that you would never find it there. Oh, it’s so funny. Well that’s ‘cuz you found it. Yeah, but… I was counting on you not finding it. All I had to do was look around. Well, it was under your seat, but then when you moved the seat, I think it rolled back and it was just in the middle of the floor and I was trying to like stick it to the seat. I thought you’d do something smart. That’s why I came back up here and was all like did he just do something like put it in the desk. I was gonna put it on your seat. Yeah, but I’m sitting in it. I know, and then I decided I couldn’t do that. Listen, I did do something smart. Your chair did something stupid. You want a pickle? I’m, I think I’m good. Yeah, that one was on the floor. So y’all, y’all like this better than the Klaussen? You like this one? Yes, preferably, Yes Yes, ‘cuz this is just sea water. It’s very salty. And this has, this tastes like pickle juice. Okay. All right. Well, I think we’re gonna get better than both of them. This one is really interesting. This one looks lovely. This, is the same. They’re getting this from the same exact place. Grillo’s pickles. Oh, you mean the thing? Yeah. Like, literally. Does it say, uh? The container? Does it have that name on it? Just slap a different J, Joe, J O… Well they’ve covered it now. X E Y They’ve covered it up, so I don’t know. This is the important part. I don’t know. Let’s focus… It’s the same exact… It’s the same thing. She’s trying to get us to focus. Okay. Sorry. Grillo’s pickles. I like the, the logo. It’s got a pickle, just lounging in like a sun chair. Yeah. Don’t you eat a pickle when you’re hanging out by the pool? No, but… Kickback. A pool pickle. A kickleback. I’m not, I’m not a big pickle guy. It’s got some garlic. Except in the parking lot. I mean, we’ve yet to talk about the parking lot pickle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have that all, every day. It’s easy to forget though ‘cuz it’s so routine. You’re a big pickle lover. Have you ever tried a parking lot pickle? You know, I haven’t. It’s, you know what it is? Go ahead. Don’t, don’t, Justine, don’t fall for his tricks. It’s not a trick. It’s my boss. What is it sir? No, don’t do that. It’s, it’s something that friends do. They take a pickle into a parking lot… Sometimes strangers. They just have a little… It gives you a little space from society. Yeah. Sometimes strangers do it though. Two friends, one pickle. Then you become friends. Oh, I’ve seen that video. Parking lot? Oh no, this was not in the parking lot. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and then so,… It’s in a van. he gets one end and I get the other end. We both share the parking lot. Yeah. Yeah. Parking lot pickle. Pickle, yeah. It’s like a smoke break, but… But with a pickle and two people But better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Got it. No more explanation needed. The classic dill, fresh. Let’s give it a shot. Have you already? I had some This looks like something you might get at like, a fancy restaurant. Like they could give you this shot as like a little amuse bouche. Because it has… The dill, It’s got floating dill. Yeah. Twigs. The old floating dill. I gotta, I I, I gotta say I don’t notice any Mt. Olive pickles here. I like that one. I, I like it and it has a little garlic after taste. It does. It’s very cucumber. _ Mm hmm, you can tell where the pickle comes from. It’s a little more intriguing. It’s a little cucumber water mixed with garlic and dill. I think it’s because the pickles are less pickled. I mean, look at those pickles. Look how un-pickled those pickles are. I will say Grillo’s does, Grillo’s dill is a little bit on the half sour side of things. So, that comes across in the brine. As opposed to this being full sour? Full, full dill. Yeah. Yeah. Half sour being another style of pickle I don’t know. I’m, I’ve, I feel like I’m getting a little confused. Yeah, I know. This pickle juice is confusing. What are you looking for in a pickle juice? Uhm, well, I, I wouldn’t have had an answer to that. I don’t like cucumbers, so, I don’t like this one. I like a little sweetness, like a tiny bit of sweetness in the pickle juice. Where you have the tartness but then there’s like, there’s that little touch. It’s so strange. You know? Stevie, are you a bread and butter pickle person? Mm, I think I’m an all kind of pickle person. I, I like a good bread and butter pickle. Okay. Let’s just keep going and see what happens here. Because this is unexpected. I think this is the wild horse. The wild horse. The dark horse. The wild card. The dark card. It’s got the floating dill and the garlic, okay. Here you go. I’m gonna put that there and then you can pick it up. You could put, you could put pickle juice in a Camelback and then you’d have a Pickleback, for your marathon. That’s right. There you go. Signature Select zesty dill, pickle spears. It’s got a good coloration. It’s got some spice on it, like some baking spices maybe. Little bit of nutmeg or something. I don’t really like this one. It’s got, it’s a real spicy finish. I don’t like this one. Maybe it’s good on the pickle but that not… I couldn’t drink a lot of it. It lasts. It’s hanging out. It’s got some things I don’t like. Such as? Just the flavor. There you go. I’m feeling, I’m feeling like we’re gonna have to really weigh… The pickles. Justine’s opinion pretty highly, you know? Not that I didn’t want to, but I feel like we, we need to. It seems like you’re the expert here. Look, I’ve had a lot of pickle juice in my time. Yeah, you have. This is beautiful. That’s a giant pickle jar. Bubbies, no sugar added, no preservatives. I feel like, I feel like I want to eat a pickle outta that jar. It’s a nice, it’s nice packaging. Well, you can do that. It looks very… That looks like the best pickle jar up, up here. Now guys, what we didn’t do for any of these and it says on the lip of this one, shake until cloudy. Well, that one already is. Yeah, it already is. And, course we’re not pouring, so, I guess they already did. They already shook it. It’s pretty cloudy. This is the cloudiest one. They pride themselves on their cloudiness. Which I think is probably a good thing. Bubby Oh, wow. What a smell. That tastes like a deli. That tastes like it’s pastrami already. It’s got meat in it. Yeah, it’s meaty. That’s a meaty pickle juice. Why does it taste like pastrami? I don’t, well ‘cuz of the pickles. Like pi, pastrami is pickled. There’s so many Ps in this conversation right now. Pastrami’s pickled. So they’re using the same spice blend, I guess, as the pastrami. Oh, so pastrami tastes like this. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. But it does have that smoky meatiness. The spicy and there’s mustard seed in there. It’s crazy. I bet you that’s a good pickle I mean, it tastes just like pastrami. Only one way to find out. It’s crazy. So you like pastrami a lot? I do like pastrami. Am I gonna ruin your day if I eat this pickle? Do you like pastrami? You taking on, taking, taking these pickles back? No. To the sports office. Please, have as many pickles. That’s not, that’s not good for, I don’t want to drink. It’s like hot dog water but pastrami. Oh, uh. Yeah, that it… Look how tight they packed their pickles. It’s not working for me. It’s a very full jar. This has, this has actually turned out to be pretty difficult guys. Come on, Bubby. Oh, I, I know mine. Come on Bubby. The la, I mean, if you’re the pickle packer at Bubbies, you’re getting your fingers dirty at the end of the job. Thoughts? Does this affect how you think of the brine? The brine, you can’t… That’s an odd pickle. Does it taste like pastrami? It’s not a great pickle. I thought it was gonna be really good. That’s why I ate one. Now I’m going to eat one of everything, every one, just to make up for it. I don’t know what happened to those pickles. Okay. I’m not loving this one. Really? You do. That’s, that’s your choice. I do. I really like that. It’s, it’s up there. It, it really has a bite and above all else, I expect that Yeah. So, I still may vote, vote for it. Uh, I’m voting for Klaussen. I’m sorry. Klaussen? Shocking. Yuck. Because when you’re drink, drinking a lot of pickle juice, you actually want to go to the one that feels kind of easy and nice. I don’t… You know what I’m saying? When you got, when you got a big night of pickle… That was such a Link answer. Well, I lost today. Like, what do you mean when you’re drinking, when you’re drinking a lot of pickle juice? Yeah. Why are you gonna drink a lot of pickle juice? You wanna go for the one that isn’t pickly? I’m saying that like, if you’re… I’m with Justine. if it’s a pickle juice night. I’m with you. Mmm. It’s the only one that has what I feel like you need. I like a Klaussen pickle too. Pickles are good, nobody’s saying… Oh come on man. My thigh’s gonna smell like pickle now. It’ll, it’ll wash right out. At least it’s the weakest one. It’s actually, uh… Just smell like salt. It’s actually good for you. Hmm, it’s like I took a dip in the ocean.
