PITT COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) – The Mt. Olive Pickle Company says it decided to withdraw from the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., after a Confederate flag was included in an exhibit.
The company told Nexstar’s WNCT that they were invited to participate in the North Carolina exhibit.
“We are proud of our North Carolina roots, and we agreed to be a part of an exhibit, as presented to us, that would represent the best of our great state,” the company, based in Mount Olive, North Carolina, said in a statement...
The Confederate flag appeared in a video that played at the North Carolina exhibit.
Mt. Olive Pickle Company said they were unaware of that image was being used, and have since pulled out of the display.
“Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom,” the company added in its statement.

Mt. Olive pickles are some of the worst commercial pickles out there. You could probably do better at Dollar General.
I used to eat pickled pepperoncini (from the jar) all the time - until I discovered roasted pepperoncini. You should try'em!
Regards,
Oh, My - where are my pearls and fainting couch? What an absolute, life-altering outrage!'
They should have known to display either an Isis or LGBTQ flag and their sales would have surged...right?
I'll stick to my homemade relishes and pickles from my own garden.
Sounds like a spoiled brat who wants to take their ball and go home...buh-buh-bye!
Their pickles are terrible!..............
You actually like their pickles? I think their pickles are horrible!................
The decline of Noosecar began with the edict that banned fans from displaying the flag of the Confederacy.
Mt. Olive Pickles, RIP.
I would say when they also fully embraced DEI.
“NASCAR has actively embraced Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies since 2020, implementing systemic changes to broaden its audience and workforce.”
What does Islamic or Palestinian crap have to do with the Pickle company stupidly pulling out of the 250 state fair?
I thought NC wasn’t participating in the fair? Shoot, I wrote a letter to the governor and everything about not being there.
Like the grifter saint fentanyl Floyd is.
I don’t particularly care about the Confederate flag. I do care about weak people bowing to wokism (marxism) and virtue signaling it. So, screw you Mt. olive Pickle company. You are dead to me.
I was wondering if they were equally offended by other flags such as islamic flags, antifa flags, etc. Are they a woke company?
Some are offended by statues. Are they offended by them too?
So no real, actual CSA flag was at the exhibit but the pickle people get their feathers in a bunch over a picture of a CSA flag in a video? What complete a$$wholes ...
I just dumped (into the garbage disposal) two brand-new jars on the pantry shelf...
yep. their pickles suck
You should have sent them back, ATTN: Customer Service.
Along with a polite but strongly worded letter of your disappointment.
