Just when you think you’ve seen it all…
A jar of pink pickles stops you in your tracks.
A pickle jar so bright, it’s practically glowing in the the entire aisle of 179 jars of all shapes, sizes, and “cuts” of pickles.
It’s like it was meant to be.
Jar meets hand, meets shopping cart meets checkout, meets bag meets minivan, meets kitchen cabinets meets mouth.
To be fair…
This pickle isn’t quite on shelves yet.
That visual was just the sensationalist movie reel in my mind when I heard the product announcement.
The photo is my concoction of pickle meets Kool Aid.
THE TRUTH:
The Big Chain Store (we’ll just call them The “W”) has invented this product and coined its name.
The pink “Tro-Pickle” is a tropical, fruit punch flavored pickle.
I get it.
I know what you’re thinking.
What’s a pink pickle got do with ME?
A lot, actually. Particularly when it comes to your photography business.
Big W’s invention of the Tropickle is actually, in my opinion, genius.
At least the strategy.
I haven’t been able to get my hands on a jar of these just yet..
…seems kinda disgusting really.
