One pickle. Zero plates. Infinite crunch.
A single enormous dill pickle sealed in a puffy balloon of brine, sold at gas station registers and theater counters.
The story · 2008
The Brine Balloon was a pickle the size of a cucumber, floating in a puffy plastic pouch of green brine. You tore the top, pulled it halfway out and ate it like a banana, brine running down your wrist. Some kids drank the brine afterward to prove something. Nobody was ever quite sure what.
The balloon was nearly impossible to open without spraying brine on whoever was standing to your left.
