The story of Pickle Panic

Pickle Panic came in a little green tin and turned every sleepover into a shouting match. You passed cards left, slapped down matching pairs, and tried to keep a straight face when the pickle landed in your hand. Bluffing was the whole game. Little cousins always gave themselves away by giggling.

Fun fact

House rules said whoever ended with the pickle had to talk in a pickle voice for the whole next round.
