I love pickles so much. That scenario would be my dream photo shoot...

I'm not old enough so I wouldn't know, but I wonder if these pickles stored in barrels would taste different than our store bought pickles today...
On a side note, my daughter and I could probably go through these barrels in two years, we eat one of the gallon jars within a week.

Not a Dill Moment!

"Oh, yeah, I'll double Dill ya!

Fifty years ago we still had a pickle factory in town, and it was just a few blocks from the main street; occasionally, as a ten-year-old I got to smell it and wonder about what went on inside. Today, even miles from the town center we have none of these old-style businesses; the area has been taken over by 'modern' concerns like Google Headquarters, and Yahoo!
