With the rising popularity of pickle-flavored drinks and snacks, it seems only natural that gummy candies would get a dill-themed makeover. The realistic-looking gummy gherkins are the brainchild of the novelty candy purveyor the Giant Gummy Bear Company. Weighing in at 4.5 ounces each, the gummy pickles are essentially the same size as the real vegetable variety. The gummies also boast a realistic pickle texture, complete with tiny bumps and ridges. Naturally, the taste is also very pickle-like as the gummies are infused with dill weed oil and rosemary extract. Though not for everyone, the giant gummy pickles are sure to delight dill lovers.
