I thought my love of dill pickle-flavored things knew no bounds. Alas, I was wrong.
Driving the news: Cheryl's debuted a limited edition pickle buttercream cookie during what ABC News has called "the summer of picklemania."
- I've been ordering extra pickles on everything my entire life, so of course I had to try it.
💭 My thought bubble: Pizza, beer, deviled eggs … our world is full of so many wonderful pickle-flavored things.
- This cookie is not one of them.
- I can't stomach the combination of dill and sweet cream.
Yes, but: A friend who likes it — and had never eaten a Cheryl's cookie before this one — says it's all about mindset.
- The advice: Don't take your first bite expecting it to taste like a normal Cheryl's cookie.
- I don't want to have to think that hard about my pickle-flavored things, though.
Try it yourself: Order a box of six for $15, including shipping.
🍺 Pro tip: If you need a savory dill fix, try this beer from Cincinnati's Urban Artifact sold at some local retailers. You won't be disappointed.
