What there is a pickle club?

Well fellow pickle lovers, an adventurous pickle lover Jennifer Takaki has authored the worlds first pickle lovers club. Like us, she has a silly cast of characters named Pickles, Lilly Dilly, Tomo Tusukemono, and Bug that are the mascots whom are on the lookout for anything about (well you may not believe us) but pickles.

Tomo Tusukemono, what kind of name is that you might ask and what does it have to do with pickles? Jennifer explains that "Tomo Tsukemono, is from Japan? His last name comes from the Japanese word for pickle, "tsuke." "Mono," means "thing," so if you were to translate his last name directly from Japanese, it means pickled-thing. Tsukemono is usually any vegetable that is pickled and it is served with Japanese meals as a side dish." Who would have thunk!

There some interesting ideas and facts about pickles and her subscribers seem to like the site. We wish her the best of luck and we hope that she gets into one pickle after another!

Wow pickle pops were the hit for Halloween!

The electricity here at Bobspicklepops continues to grow. The buzz around the country is so wonderful to be a part of. We received this passionate email from a very cleaver customer of ours that made her Halloween a very memorable one. Mary Ann, thank you for sharing your love of Bobspicklepops with us.

"I was working at a flea market in Shepherdsville,Ky.., a few months ago. One of the customers told me she had better get home because she promised to get her granddaughter to the skating rink in -- I believe she said -- Clarksville, Indiana. She told me that the young girl was so excited about getting a pickle pop every week. The fact that her granddaughter didn't even like pickles of any kind, amazed the grandmother."

"I came home and got on the computer.. I found you right away. I sent the email to my daughter, Sandra Mullikin. She lives in Owensboro, Ky. and has two adopted girls. The youngest is from Siberia and has many physical problems that they didn't know about when they went to view her at six months. Too long a story to share now. Sandi ordered the pickle pops immediately. She teaches school and was interested in getting these for the girls. They love them. She called me to ask if I would share the expense and take half of the pickle pops. Of course, I said yes. Well, tonight was Halloween, and I gave them to the children who came by to "trick" or "treat". I explained that they would have to take them home and freeze them. The parents were happy that there was no sugar in them. I informed the parents that they could locate you on the internet."

"Everyone seemed excited. Well, we were trying to eat and the doorbell rang. It was -- I thought -- too late for children to be out. Well, I was wrong. There were at least six children--and their parents--at the door asking for more pickle pops. I recognized them from earlier, and I asked them what happened to the first pops. They said that when they got home, other people in their houses wanted some. I gave my very last ones to them. I thought you might like this story. I am sure you will get some more customers from this. I used to be a secretary in public relations for a distillery in Louisville,Ky. I thought this could be a way of educating people to the benefits of your product."

If Pickles Were Money?

If pickles were money the world would be a better place. A couple of characters have created a music video called "If pickles were money". I have to say it is pretty well produced. What will they think of next. There are some pretty bizarre ideas out there. What is the world coming to. Glad we are not one of them. Oh Oh.
