People Are Making Kool-Aid Pickles—and Every Pickle Lover Needs to Try ‘Em

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.”

This is one of those times I’m thankful I’m not a pickle lover.

I hate kool-aid and I hate pickles, and I hate cucumbers before they become pickles.

Gee I wonder if I’d like this stuff.

We’ll never know for certain.

I'm so ugly, even this chick says, "Wow, he's ugly."

Then she muses, "He must have eaten a KoolAid Pickle!"

They now have KoolAid / Cucumber / Pickle ice cream.

You can get it with cigarette-ash and stale-beer topping.

Pickle sniffers (Obama) have a variation on the recipe and can’t seem to get enough.

Alton Brown did a series called "Feasting on Asphalt" about "road food", basically an excuse for him and a camera crew to ride motorcycles cross-country and sample food along old highways and back roads. The second season of the show was "The River Run", following the Mississippi from the southern tip of Louisiana as far north as they could chase it.

These pickles were featured in the first or second episode, somewhere in the Mississippi Delta area. Alton was not impressed, but did say that it might be interesting sliced up with some barbeque.

I'll stick with regular pickles and pickled onions, no artificial fruit flavors needed.

They are church picnic, potluck and funeral food here in Michigan.

Like honey mustard, it just works.

Cherry or Lime but not Blue Raspberry.

I’ll just stick with baby kosher and pigs feet

The pickles may be kosher, but I'm pretty sure the pigs feet aren't.
