Food Do You Eat Your Pickle?: A Super Tuesday Poll

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Tue, Feb 5 at 1:25 PM

It really annoys me when regular restaurants (not delis) include a pickle spear with your lunch. I’m annoyed because I’m convinced that most people don’t eat their pickle spear, which is very wasteful. Also, I hate it when sour pickle juice seeps into nearby food. BLECHHH!!
So here is our Super Tuesday Pickle Poll—the results of which will be shown to every restaurateur I know who still continues to pollute our meals with pickle spears. (By the way, your answer also directly correlates to who you would vote for [Hillary or Obama] in the Democratic primary. I’ll tell you which is which AFTER voting has closed!)

DO YOU EAT YOUR PICKLE SPEAR?

Stay tuned for the exciting results!! (P.S. Vote against pickle spears!)

Unless it's a sweet pickle. Sweet pickles are disgusting and should be banned in all 50 states.

Currently in our pickle poll, the pro-pickle spear camp is maintaining a strong lead. For those ignorant people I ask, "Do you LIKE pickle juice flavored fries?"

VOTE "NO" ON PICKLE SPEARS!

Humpy- You'd be singing a different song if Britney changed her name to "Pickle".

VOTE "YES" ON PICKLE SPEARS! (I DID!)

No one wants to pickle Spears at this point, unless you're into crazy.

I think the same person voted "yes" 40 times. That's the only explanation for the current results.

Don't hate the pickle, hate the juice.

I do like pickle juice flavored fries. Also potato chips. And gin, that once. And a few drops of pickle juice never hurt a grilled cheese sandwich.

i would rather a glass of vinegar, but short of that a pickle will do.

Personally, I like pickle flavoured anything. I just don't like soggy other stuff.

Did you see how I spelled "flavoured" all english-y? That is because I am learned.

Not all pickles are created equal. Plan B has these awesome spicy pickles - they're not spears, they are sliced, and the kick comes from jalapeno, I think? Anyway, they are rad.

I eat the pickle. But it does get old - EVERYONE serves the pickle. Why not mix it up and serve something else on the side? Here are some suggestions for alternatives, so listen up, restaurateurs!

-Carrot
-Deviled egg
-A second, free, sandwich
-Mashed potatoes and gravy
-Buffalo wings
-Waffles
-Cash money, yo!
-A nutritious salad (Ha! Just kidding!)
-Pixie stix

with all of the chemicals that have passed through her body at this point I'm pretty sure Spears is already pickled.

You should have campaigned more Steven. If you would have stopped in my 28th and Glissan hood I would have come heard you speak.

You had a chance, brother. I'm a maybe voter.

i'm undecided, too. so knock my tooth out 'n' call me a yokel. i just don't know what to think until rush limbaugh tells me if pickles mean freedom or terror.

It's perfectly acceptable with pastrami on rye (with swiss and spicy mustard...mmmhhh...), but keep that shit away from my hamburger and fries!
