KOOL-AID PICKLES
Pickles and Kool-Aid. Not since Romeo and Juliet has a couple been so perfect for each other, yet so cursed to stay apart for eternity.That is, until now. Kool-Aid Pickles have come together to make sweet love on your taste buds. Sorry that sounds gross, but hey, so do pickles soaked for days in cherry Kool-Aid.
Kool-Aid Pickles may sound outrageous and unnatural like pineapple on pizza or Pete Davidson on anyone, but Koolickles are nothing new to Southerners. Apparently, some Wal-Marts in the Mississippi Delta region even sell them in their stores, on purpose.
Luckily, you don't have to waste any gas money searching for that sweet and sour Koolickle fix. Keep reading for an oddly delicious recipe, with only four ingredients. Pepto Bismol chaser, not included. Definitely Not Gourmet/YouTube
