Top Five Reasons to Love Wickles Pickles

5.  A True Southern Tradition – Folks in the South tend to go “all out” when it comes to cooking, whether it’s attending a concert, horse race, picnic, hosting a backyard party or tailgating during a favorite SEC football match-up.  Any of these presents the perfect opportunity to impress your friends and family members with your mad cooking skills.  Chicken salad, potato salad, egg salad, deviled eggs, hot dogs, hamburgers, or sandwiches – each deserves not to be relegated as leftovers, only to be thrown out at a later date.  Also, put a knock out punch on that day-after hangover with the Wickle Mary – a traditional Bloody Mary garnished with Wickles Pickles and a splash of Wickles Pickles juice.

Five Reasons to Love Wickles Pickles

4.  Eat em’ Straight from the Jar – While there are a host of recipes fit for Wickles Pickles, the common theme from its crazy fans are their primal tendencies of eating Wickles straight from the jar.  An open jar of Wickles Pickles usually means an empty jar of Wickles Pickles.  I recently dropped a jar off on a table surrounded by friends, and came back with some forks to assist in the Wickles feast.  My friend said, “we went all country,” each digging their paws into the jar and pulling out slices.

3.  Fanatical Customers – A great sampling of quotes from the Wickles Pickles Facebook page.

“The last thing I saw was her (my wife) pouncing on those poor defenseless Wickles like Dracula on the Vestal Virgin.” – Rick, Winnie, Texas on his first jar of Wickles Pickles.

“I slept with my Wickles last night . . . . awesome.” – Jonathan, Savannah, Georgia.

“When I was in Gatlinburg and had bought the banana peppers, I took them out on the sidewalk, opened the jar, and put them on a cheese steak sandwich I had just bought.” – Becky, Birmingham, Alabama.

“Best pickles ever.” – Milli, Houston, Texas.

“I flew two jars of Wickles to the Skwentna Checkpoint of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.” Heather, Anchorage, Alaska.

2.  Cracker Barrel – Now some folks may have a hard time finding Wickles Pickles, but the anticipation is part of the Wickles Pickles experience.  Some common retailers include Vons, Albertsons, Safeway, Publix, limited Wal Mart stores, Winn Dixie, Fresh Market, Piggly Wiggly, HEB, Central Market, Fiesta, Randall’s, Tom Thumb, Fred’s and Bi-Lo.  My favorite happens to be Cracker Barrel.  Did you know there are 588 Cracker Barrel’s in 41 states, with 505 located just off of Interstates?  I passed 14 from Auburn, Alabama to Ft. Myers, Florida, and each one sells Wickles Pickles.

1.  They’re Wickedly Delicious – Wickles Pickles are based on an 80-year-old secret family recipe, and honestly, I’d rather have this recipe than that of Coca Cola’s mythical recipe.  Sims Foods, Inc., based in Dadeville, Alabama, produces Wickles Pickles, a small company with humble roots.  The next time you visit your local grocery store, check out the pickled products.  The shelves are full of nothing but big brands and private labels such as Vlasic, Mt. Olive and Claussen’s.  Do yourself and your community a service by asking the store manager to stock wickedly delicious Wickles Pickles.
