Smoothie King adds a "tangy" pickle smoothie

• The smoothie blends pickles with bananas, kale and coconut water to deliver a "refreshingly tangy taste," the press release says.
• "We love to do unhinged collabs at Grillo's," said Mark Luker, the company's chief commercial officer, in the statement.
• Smoothie King cited the hydration benefits of pickles.

💭 Carlie's thought bubble: I love pickles. I order pickle martinis, pickle plates and Popeyes' pickle-flavored chicken.

• I even have a pickle shelf in my fridge.
• But I couldn't bring myself to order this smoothie at 8am on an empty stomach. Maybe I'll try again this afternoon.

What's next: Smoothie King has free 4-ounce pickle smoothies Saturday for International Pickle Day.

• The 20-ounce smoothie is normally $5.99.
