I finally found them!

I woke up this morning and stumbled out of my RV into the sleepy town of Wichita Falls, Texas. I passed out the night before in the back of a Wal-Mart parking lot. But this story doesn’t begin here, it starts almost an entire year ago...

I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, Planet Money (read also: https://travelingjason.com/favorite-podcasts/) and their newest episode had me intrigued: Walmart’s Pickle.

It was a great episode and I highly recommend checking it out: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/11/17/564956657/episode-806-walmarts-pickle

I don’t want to spoil the story behind the red pickles but I will say that they are rare. They are more of a thing in the south and definitely nowhere near the midwest. I also asked Kosha Dillz, a Jewish rapper based in New Jersey who LOVES pickles and he had never heard of the bizarro red pickles either!

I really wanted to try one but I couldn’t get my hands, let alone my mouth on one! I even tried talking my sister, who is a Wal-Mart manager in Omaha but she wasn’t able to pull any strings for me to get a jar!

But on this cold October morning, Christmas came early!

I’ll be enjoying them… or at least trying them tonight for dinner. If I live to tell about it, I’ll post another update soon. Stay tuned!
