Pickle popsicles are the latest trend in pickle-flavored treats

Pickle soda is so last week

Pickle soup, pickle soda, pickle sushi — if you're wondering whether the internet has reached peak pickle, the answer is a resounding nope. Van Holten's, makers of Pickle-In-A-Pouch and Pickleback Brine, also sell Pickle Ices — AKA frozen tubes of electrolyte-enhanced pickle juice. They're like Otter Pops for brine fanatics. The ice pops are designed with athletes in mind, particularly since pickle juice has long been used as a way to stay hydrated during grueling workouts when you're sweating like crazy. Many high school and college football players chug pickle juice as a way to avoid cramps during game days (though recent studies suggest the salty brine doesn't actually help that much). In fact, that's how Van Holten's originally dreamed up the idea: An associate in Alabama sent the company's vice president of sales and marketing, Eric Girard, a photo of a sign for frozen pickle pops. "They were selling for $1 each at an Alabama high school baseball game," he explained. "If you go down to Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, it's a very common item to find at concession stands." The Van Holten's team started thinking of ways they could riff on the idea. They came up with Pickle-Ice, adding electrolytes to the brine to further help ward off cramps. They're also loaded with potassium, calcium, and magnesium, to help your body replenish the nutrients it loses during a workout in the heat. But the big appeal, it seems, may be the flavor itself: These fluorescent yellow-green pops taste just like the crunchy treat — and they're a low-calorie way to chill out on a hot day. You can buy them on Amazon, directly through Van Holten's — in 8-packs or 48-packs, in case you're hardcore about your frozen snacks — or at various grocery and convenience stores nationwide, for about 50 cents a pop. And, coming this July, you'll be able to find them in about 700 Walmart stores across the country. "Pickles seem to be a huge trend right now, as you may have noticed," Girard said. "We're excited to be riding that wave."
