Bei Elsie’s in New Jersey machen sie Sandwiches aus Essiggurken. Dabei wird das traditionell verwendete Brot einfach gegen sauer eingelegte Gurken getauscht – und ich würde das auf jeden Fall probieren.

“I think it’s safe to say that everybody loves a good pickle,” says Katherine Cohen, head pickle proprietor of Elsie’s. She runs a sandwich shop in Haddon Township, New Jersey, that has done away with run-of-the-mill sandwich bread altogether in favor of *pickles.* But these aren’t just any old pickles—they’re flavored with a secret family recipe and have attracted folks from around the world.

We tasted the drink at Sonic’s headquarters in Oklahoma City, and it’s surprisingly delicious (and makes a good accompaniment to burgers and/or tots and/or corn dogs.) Sweet and tangy, the bright brine compensates for the over-savoriness you might have been worried about. You won’t understand why, but you’ll keep going back for more sips, likely until it’s all gone. Our only gripe is that the slush is a bit too sweet, as if overcorrecting for the acidity, but maybe this is what has to happen for America to acclimate to—and embrace—pickle-flavored soft drink.
