Author’s note: I have no affiliation with Bubbies<\/a> or Costco<\/a>, and this is not a paid or sponsored review. As always.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pickle candy.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was standing in line at a deli counter, and the lady in front of me asked: “May I please have a *stupid* amount of pickles” on her sub sandwich. I almost<\/em> gave her my phone number and asked if we could be besties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So now you know how I feel about pickles.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Overhead<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Somehow, that justified the gargantuan barrel of Bubbies Bread & Butter Pickles I purchased from Costco. This is a *stupid* amount of pickles. There is only ONE stomach at my house. And it is going to eat every one<\/em> of these pickles. Or die trying.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sweetness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anyway. Bubbies pickles are just the right sweetness. Only 4 grams of sugar per serving! They’re still delicious pickle candy. But not a toothache disguised as a vegetable. You know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crispness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They’re pleasantly crisp for a shelf-stable product. I’ve definitely had crunchier pickles, but they either came out of the refrigerated section, or were soaked in preservatives. Bubbies have “no preservatives.” Pretty good. I think Bubbies has managed a respectable balance here.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flavors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there is<\/em> a sprinkle of colorful pepper bits, and a dash of celery & mustard seeds, mostly you are just getting the pickles. There’s not as much pickle pizazz<\/em> as you might find in, say, Grillo’s<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I appreciate that these pickles are tangy without being fully sour. Bubbies have a highly predictable “bread and butter<\/a>” flavor. No thrilling flavor risks. Just tasty pickles, ma’am.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These pickle chips come in a bewildering range of sizes. I don’t think the cucumber processors did a single iota of trimming\/culling before sending the cukes through the machine. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Fingers<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

No man left behind — they all<\/em> made it into the jar. I found ornery stem ends, and scrawny pickle fragments. And big boys. And thiccc boys. Like this one. A pickle chunk:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Fingers<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I am equal opportunity with pickles, so I don’t mind. Bubbies’ pickle chopper isn’t as free-spirited as Famous Dave’s<\/a> pickle chopper, anyway. No supernatural pickle wings yet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are all kinds in the jar! I’m calling them “bubs.” Because I can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are my bubs. Go get your own.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What did I do with my bubs<\/em>?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I’m only about 1\/10.783 of the way finished with my jar. I have only begun<\/em> to pickle. But, so far, I’ve eaten my bubs<\/em> on several turkey burgers. This one is made with Columbus Craft Meats<\/a> frozen Turkey Burgers from Costco. These are perfect burger pickles. I love the sweet-tangy pickle flavor with the savory BBQ grilled meat taste.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

And I ate more bubs<\/em> on grilled cheese sandwiches. This one is made with Boudin sourdough bread and Jarlsberg cheese (both from Costco. I swear I don’t work for Costco!). Yes, pickles taste fabulous on grilled cheese. It’s ok if you disagree. But you’re wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
