This Valentine's say it with picklesPosted Feb 5th 2006 3:04PM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Vegetables, Midwest Rural, AmericaLong-stemmed roses. Belgian chocolates. Foie gras. Champagne and caviar.
Does your sweetie say, "Been there, done that," to all of the above? Then, this Valentine's Day is the
perfect opportunity to wow them with a gift that's a bit more thoughtful, Pickle of the Month. Now, if I were one of the founders of this
Web site I'd be beating the seasonal marketing drum loudly. A four-month subscription that includes all of Van Holten's Pickle-in-a-Pouch characters — is there anything
quite as romantic? Sadly they seem to have missed the boat. So, it's up me to praise the virtue of this wonderful gift.
It would take a guy with a heart of stone not to fall in love all over again when he gets Big Papa, aka the Portly
Pickle from his love. And what gal wouldn't go weak at the knees when her man presents her with Van Holten's Hot
Mama.If the sheer romance of Van Holten's pickles isn't enough, consider that they don't need refrigeration
and have a two-year shelf life. As for me I'm getting my sweetie the same thing I get her every year, a nice big jar of
rollmops.
