Picklegate: Why Do Pickle Jars Rarely Include the Word "Pickles"
Here's a weird thing you never noticed: Someone on TikTok pointed out that jars of pickles almost never have the WORD "pickles" on the label.
Most big brands like Claussen and Vlasic say things like "Kosher Dill Spears" or "Bread & Butter Slices." But the word "pickles" is nowhere to be found.
TikTok is calling it "Picklegate," and people have been offering up explanations.
One theory was it has to have specific ingredients to be called a "pickle." Another was that all sorts of foods can be pickled. So maybe it's not allowed, because it's too vague?
One person even joked that in order to be called pickles, "they need to be from the Pickle Region in France."
But it turns out none of those are right . . .
Someone asked the big pickle brands to comment. And the real reason is . . . they just don't think it's necessary.
It's a glass jar, and you can SEE the pickles inside.
Vlasic said there's limited space on the label, so they prefer to, quote, "clearly communicate the form and flavor inside each jar." Claussen and other brands basically said the same thing.
Grillo's Pickles is one of the only big brands that DOES use the word "pickle" on its jars. Their V.P. of branding said even he never noticed other companies shy away from it.

Costco Is Offering a Refund Because a Bad Batch of Their Vodka Tasted Like "Vitamins"?
Most people don't drink vodka for the FLAVOR. But some people DID complain about Costco's vodka recently.
Costco apologizes after a recent batch of Kirkland vodka had a weird smell and taste. Multiple customers claimed the vodka tasted like "a vitamin" or "a multivitamin."
Costco says there's no food safety issue, so it's okay to drink . . . but they admit that it "did not meet their quality expectations."
There's no official word on what happened, but someone online claiming to be an employee says the vodka was tainted by a bit of RUM. They say the vodka was put into a container that previously held rum, and it wasn't completely cleaned between uses, like it should've been.
In any event, Costco has listed the lot numbers online for the affected vodka, along with the dates it was on shelves . . . June 12th through August 10th.
They're offering refunds to anyone who can show that they had one of the tainted bottles. They've already sent emails to members who bought Kirkland vodka with more information.
