For Valentine's Day, Boston-based Grillo's Pickles dreamed up a fun way for its target consumers to share their love of pickles with the 'Pickle Bouquet.' Rather than purchasing a standard bunch of flowers for the romantic holiday, consumers are able to assemble various kinds of pickles from the brand to create an offbeat edible arrangement. With a few skewers, herbs, colorful peppers and ribbon, a bright and unusual pickle bouquet can be created using the brand's products.
While some consumers have been able to snack on dill pickle-flavored potato chips for years, brands have been introducing plenty of unexpected new ways for people to take their love of pickles to the next level with everything from slushie drinks to pickle-flavored peanuts, sandwiches and dips.
