A gas station down the street here has pickles soaking in a big jar of red coolaid. He claims that it's a traditional "southern thing". Now this guy is not from the south, in fact he's not from america (i asked) So, what i want to know is... "who the heck told him that?" and also, who the heck is buying these nasty pickles? Being a born and bred texan who spent half her life in Lousiana I have NEVER seen that before. Yuk.

There's a pickle place over there off 30, that sells them like that. See if I can find a link

Seems to be a Mississippi thing. Especially the delta.

From link:

" Her grandmother, Big Mama, made extra money by selling soda water and Kool Aid-flavored pickles to the neighborhood kids out of her house in South Dallas."

And I have heard of this before, but not something my family did.

Where in Louisiana?

Pineville/Alexandria. I went to Pineville High and Louisiana Tech in Ruston

I tried some of the pickle shack pickles at Zestfest a couple years ago. They were good. Don't think I tried their kool-aid version but I remember seeing it...

Never seen it in Southeast Louisiana. And I don't want to.

I'm currently living in Monroe, so right in the middle of that. Both of those towns are superior to Monroe IMHO.

Is Monroe really that bad?

Ruston was ok. It's a big party town with the students. I got in my fair share of trouble there. Pineville is nice but boring.... at least when i lived there it was. I once saw 6 cop cars go screeching into the macdonalds parking lot with sirens on. They all ran in with guns drawn. They came out 15 minutes later at a leisurely stroll with happy meals. I kid you not. They were bored and hungry!

It's the most horrible city in Louisiana, hands down. Everywhere you go it smells like poop because of the huge paper mill here. And that's not even the worst of it! Wife & I are actively plotting our escape. ;)

You might as well buy some stock.
