What Is a Kool-Aid Pickle?

At first glance, the combination may sound like a recipe for disaster. But people have been soaking pickles in Kool-Aid for quite some time down South. Mississippi is the birthplace of Kool-Aid pickles, which people have nicknamed “Koolickles.”

The colorful and crunchy products are a combination of dill pickles and Kool-Aid powder, and fit the pickling culture of the American South quite well. (Even if you aren’t from Mississippi, we can teach you how to pickle peaches, chard, Brussels sprouts and more like a pro.) Convenience stores make and sell these snacks by the dozen. You can find them under fun names like “SnoCo Pickles,” which are made with snow cone syrup, and “Pickoolas.”

These are flat nasty. Wal mart great value tried them in Alabama a few years back and I bought a jar for everyone at work to try. YUK. apparently they are a delicacy in southern Alabama and Mississippi.

It says you make them by draining the brine, then mixing it with the powder and putting the pickles back into the mix.

Say what?

[waterhill]

I’ll just stick with baby kosher and pigs feet and eggs.

Ever heard of ‘Lick-m-maid’?
Back in the fifties every convenience store sold kool aid powder with additional sugar in small packets. You spilled the powder on the back of your hand and licked it off just like salt for tequilla shots.

I will not eat Kool-Aid pickles.

Look what it did to her face.

[dinodino]

I’ll pass, thank you…and I love pickles. 🥒

[SpaceBar]

Is this considered using a product inconsistent with its packaging information?

“I want that pickled pigs foot with the long toenail”.

[Carriage Hill]

Her face hit every limb on the Ugly Tree, on her fall down.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

And then she landed face first in a pile of fresh ugly.

[Carriage Hill]

Ker-splat!
Heh.

[Lazamataz]

Her face hit every limb on the Ugly Tree, on her fall down. And then she landed face first in a pile of fresh ugly.

And then someone saw her plight, and hosed her down with a bunch of Ugly juice.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

And then rolled her in powdered ugly.

[Lazamataz]

And then rolled her in powdered ugly.

Then topped it off with Ugly sprinkles.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

And a big dollop of whipped ugly.

[Lazamataz]

All because she ate KoolAid pickles.
