GET INTO A PICKLE: INTERNATIONAL PICKLE WEEK

GET INTO A PICKLE: INTERNATIONAL PICKLE WEEK

NEW BRAUNSLES, Texas (Wireless Flash) -- Here's a good reason to get yourself into a pickle: tomorrow (May 19) kicks off International Pickle Week. The annual, 10-day long celebration of all things pickle is sponsored by Pickle Packers International, which has a few unusual suggestions for how to celebrate. For starters, the organization claims kids will go wild for homemade "pickle pops" -- frozen pickles mounted on sticks like Popsicles. The group also recommends dropping a few ounces of pickle juice into a glass of beer to give it some pep. Finally, the organization advocates drinking pickle brine as a cleansing tonic.
