I actually despise Claussen pickles.
My favorite for a great many years is Mt. Olive kosher dills, but the past couple of years I have also purchased Walmart's Great Value brand kosher dills. I still buy Mt. Olive when they are BOBO on sale at Publix. The first thing I do is look on the label to make sure the pickle doesn't have Alum.
Mt. Olive is the largest independent pickle company in the United States and the top-selling pickle brand in the Southeastern United States, where its market share approaches 70 percent.I seem to be in good company.
BOGO not BOBO, but I feel like a BOBO now.
Love Claussen, Boar’s Head (cold), hate Vlasic and Mt Olive (heated). McClures, Sucker Punch, etc are all heated.
