Choco-covered what?

Apparently, the Just Pickles stand on 33rd St sells a chocolate-covered pickle!? I am very suspect. This cannot be a good thing.

I used to hate pickles as a kid. Looking back, i think my hatred stemmed more from expectations than actual dislike. Aren't all kids supposed to hate pickles, anchovies, bread/pizza crust and brussels sprouts? Thankfully, i like them now; a good pickle is so deliciously crisp, salty and refreshing.

I found the Just Pickles stand one day while walking around Midtown. It's a tiny stand comprised of a guy and numerous barrels of pickles, very easy to never notice. I ordered 2 sours but he gave me 3 pickles in the bag!

If anyone's insane enough to try this choco-pickle, do report! I'm curious, but it just doesn't sound like a good flavor mixture, you know?

Its true. The combo does sound insane! I actually have to make an advertisement for chocolate covered pickles in my English class. We are working on a persuasive unit and advertising "odd" or "out of the ordinary" objects. Any suggestions on how I could advertise such an unusual combination? I would also like to know what this craziness tastes like! Its either really good...or really bad! Let me know! And thanks in advance

I recently melted some good chocolate and dipped pickles in it. And to my suprise, it was a really good combo. (Even though I thought it would be bad originally)

I've made chocolate covered pickles and they are delicious. They also sell for around 17.95 a lb from gourmet chocolatiers.
