Greetings, I met you at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, I was the guy who escorted the media around. You gave me a sample of your product. I went back and purchased 4 more packages that last weekend. I’m still waiting on the new style to get to the HEB Market place. The old formula is good, but the new is better.. I am the photographer (volunteer) for Miss San Antonio and during a recent photo shoot, I offered her one. I think I have her hooked. I hope you enjoy the photo and you do have our permission to use it. Her name is Alanna Sarabia. She unfortunately will be giving up her crown next month during Fiesta, but if you need a model or a pretty face, I may be able to get her or her successor to appear. We do have a program book and if you are interested in supporting the pageant by placing an ad I put you in touch with the president of the organization, believe me the cost is really cheap, however the deadline is approaching. Plus I can get you tickets to the pageant. I would also like to find out about fund raising, and the pickle carts. Are they for purchase or rent? There are opportunities here at Lackland fund raising and I think Pickle Pops would go over great. Hoping to hear back soon,Alan |
Hello David, I just spoke with a person involved with the MS society ( not the ultimate contact) she told me that when people with MS get the steroid treatments there is a horrible coating/taste that they get which feels like a coating and tastes terrible, they use Dill PICKLES to get relief from this, she said that eating one pickle(large) will give relief for about 2 hours!!! |
Dear David,
I heard about pickle pops from an internet friend, and since I love pickle juice I had to try them. This is actually my second order, my first was for 40 and they didn't last a week. I have about 10 friends who are now pickle pop fiends, so in self defense I upped my order to the box of 120. We love them. Keep up the good work.
Thank you,

Hello David, Yes this is my first order. A friend who is also a closet pickle juice drinker (ha ha!) and a diehard pickle eater told me about them. Once she received her order she told me about great they were. She offered to bring me a couple to try! I fell in love with the first bite. I was hooked... So I decided this is a great fundraiser for my daughter's preschool and for the college I am employed at. I have been looking for opportunities to raise money for scholarships for our college students and/or our Student Government Association. And now I have found it. I can guarantee I will have many more orders to come. This is just a test run. I read the nutritional information and articles related to it. Impressive. Thanks for an exciting new twist on a product we all love! Tracy E Director, High School Relations New River Community and Technical College Beckley, WV 5-4-08 |
Hello David, I first heard of you through a newspaper article in the Tulsa World. We ordered some at that time (from a different address...we have since moved) and are hooked now :) |
Hi David! Yes, this is my first order. I'm a Certified Personal Chef based in Westchester County, New York and read about you in the New York Times. I have a couple of great ideas for using your pickle pops, and want to do some recipe testing and developing. I'll let you know how they turn out. Best, Jonathan T.

Dear David,
Thanks for your email. Yes, I was watching CNN and really enjoyed the newscast about your product. I love dill pickles and seeing your product was one of those "what a brilliant idea - why didn't I think of that" moments.
My PayPal account was initially established while residing in Germany. When I relocated to Dubai, my new address and credit card details occasionally present confusion when using the PayPal check out system; sometimes it shows Germany and sometimes UAE.
We're looking forward to receiving your wonderfully described product. I will share with my colleagues here at the Emirates Airline Safety Department - we're an international group of technical experts and perhaps I can drum up some more orders for you.
Best wishes, --Helmut

Hello David, This is indeed my second order. My grandchildren LOVE the pickle pops and I love their eating them instead of candies and other sweets! One of my daughters called me this weekend and asked if I had more of them because her kids had eaten all that I had given to her. Since I only had about 2 dozen left I immediately put in another 120 order.
My grandson says that all of his friends want them because "they love them to death". This was a statement that you actuallly had to be there to have enjoyed to it's fullest extent. He was VERY antimated! LOL.
Thanks so much for these wonderful treats.

Hello David, this is actually my first order, we never knew these existed until we went to six flags and between my daughter,her friend and I we ate about 10!! So after that I was on the hunt at the grocery store and couldnt find them. I googled it and found you, Im sure I will have plent of orders!! Im going to suggest to the private school my kids go to to check you out, those kids would love those insted of the other stuff they have. The school doesnt have a cafeteria they order out
every day and have ice cream sandwiches, so not healthy!Thanks again. |
Hello Bob's Pickle Pops, This is my first order but I will defiantly be ordering more. I got them for us to eat & share with friends. So far EVERYONE LOVES THEM!! My Mom has had some health issues recently & craves sour things. Pickle Sickles hit the spot!! I also was very impressed on how quickly they arrived. I ordered them on Wed. & had them at my door on Sat. We ordered 60 & have already eaten half of them!! Thank you for such a great product! I just wish I had thought of it!!!! Miranda C 5-27-06 |
David,
I was amused to see the picklepops' tent at the New Braunfels (TX) wine festival. It brought back fond memories of summertime when I would take my daughter, Nora, to the snow cone vendor and she would always order a dill pickle snow cone.
Back in April, Nora called to tell me she and her husband were expecting their first baby. She was elated, but also aprehensive and a bit homesick, too. Her husband, Ivan recently graduated from Navy basic training. Then they moved to Goose Creek (Charleston area), SC. where Ivan is in school. Up until a few month's ago, my daughter had never lived very far from her family. Even when she was in college and living on campus, she was within walking distance of her mother's and grandmother's houses.
A box of picklepops sounded like the perfect present for Nora's first Mother's Day. She was thrilled to receive them, but those sentimental picklepop moments did not last too long.
From your website, I noticed they were available at Central Market. When I was in Austin, I looked but could not find them in the store. So, I went back to your website and placed an order of 120 to be sent to my daughter (however, since then, I have seen Bob's Picklepops at Central Market in San Antonio).
Nora was grateful for the new shipment and has even shared them with some of her new friends.
Is there anyplace near Charleston, SC where Bob's Picklepops are available? Nora's going to be pregnant until October.

Hi Peter,
My name is Dani Rohs from the radio station Vibe 98.5 in Calgary, AB. I'm part of the Vibe Morning Show, and was forwarded an email about your PICKLE product! I love it. I was wondering if it would be possible to get samples perhaps to give out to our audience, and set up an interview?? Let me know what you think. Thanks. Have a great day!

| Hi, I am an avid cyclist, and pickle juice is very useful during long summer rides. You may want to spend some time targeting this crowd for your product. There are always vendors offering trial samples of pickle juice at the Hotter n Hell 100 in Witchita Falls in late August. Your may want to consider comming out to that event as your packaging is quite a bit different and easier to carry than a bottle of pickle juice. We tend to freeze to pickle sickle and put them in our water bottle and fill with gator aid or some other electrolyte drink during riding and eat/drink the pickle pop after we finish off the fluid in the bottle. This makes it much easier to carry than other pickle juice products. Shawn |

Today, I picked up a box of Pickle Sickles at the Central Market here in Houston. I figured I'd either love them or end up with a box of frozen pickle juice sitting in my freezer until the end of time.
After trying my very first one, I'm glad to say (between smiles) that this box of pickle juice won't last for long! Absolutely addictive- Robin

I freeze my own pickle juice and love it, I was wondering if these are sold anywhere other than on-line. I live in East Texas and have been unsuccessf

Kimberly,
It must have gotten cut off somehow because I could see the whole thing! Thanks so much for letting me know!
The message should say: Happy Summer! Love, Caki
My nieces are so excited they are getting a surprise in the mail and they LOVE pickles, so this will be a big treat and I've sent your website to a lot of folks who do fundraisers etc...
Do you have any idea of the estimated delivery date?
Thanks again so much for the e-mail!

I'm thinking pickle flights now. Start the meal with various sorts of pickles in their various guises. All of them cucumber, of course - so that the taste variations could be noted and dissembled. Dissembled meaning whatever meaning you wish it to have, as we are talking of pickles here and everyone knows what sort of personality pickles have. The main course would be a Russian pickle soup accompanied by Southern deep-fried pickles. Dessert would be a chocolate-pickle fleur-de-sel caramel with a side of banana-pudding pickle foam served in a hollowed-out pickle capped with some Pickle Sickles. Now wouldn't it be loverly! |
I HAVE TRIED THEM! Dizastress 03/07/08 |
Hi guys!I'm the crazy lady you ran into in the parking lot of Sam's today! True to my word, as soon as I got home I checked out your website and I'm hooked w/o even tasting them!!!! (Can't tell you how many times my mom smacked me as a kid for sneaking drinks of pickle juice out of the jar! My kids are psyched and we've already placed our order for 48 Pickle Sickles! Some of which will immediately have to be shipped to my oldest daughter in Tallahassee, FL!!! They're all already running around singing the Pickle Song, too! lol Can't wait to introduce these to my Scouts! You guys will have to stop by and see me some weekend - I'm the weekend x-ray tech in Seguin at Guadalupe Regional! (I saw that's where ya'll are from!) You guys aren't hiring, are you? I'd give up shooting x-rays for this idea! It's the BOMB! Thanks again for being so nice this afternoon and giving me the info! And GREAT IDEA!!! Dana |
Eat, crunch, enjoy, cut. |
Hello David, Thanks for your enthusiasm!! Here is a review I wrote awhile back that you will enjoy reading. I am interested in your product -- and our research is suggesting that the vinegar should perhaps be ingested with a potassium source as is the case with pickles. We recently completed a 12 week trial feeding our diabetic subjects pickles and they seem to work well. We can test your drink in the lab -- our subjects do not like drinking the vinegar (straight) at all -- so a tasty drink like this might be the ticket. (P.S. My doctorate is from UT Austin - I have extensive family in the Austin-Dallas areas....) http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=16926800 Carol S Johnston, PhD, RD |
....Kids went wild for them...they suddenly had a hard time keeping up with demand and the pickle sickle was the talk of town...at least that little town...two months ago when I started pitching the idea of doing a sweet little story. |
HEB Stores As stated in our conversation, I would like to merchandise your Pickle Sickle in the 8 HEB Central Markets in Texas. If in future you would like to seize this opportunity please do not hesitate to call me at any of the numbers noted below. I believe that your new product will be successful in the Texas region. I would also like to extend an offer to test market your product in one store if possible. Thank You for your time, Benjamin Gallego Central Market Division |
KABB in San Antonio JT Street here from Fox 29, KABB in San Antonio. We want in on the Picklesickle craze! Is there any chance that we could get John to come into the studio with us and do a segment on the morning show featuring the picklesickle? Let me know! JT jstreet@sbgnet.com |
I think, if you can get it to a mass market in a quick period of time, you'll be able to dominate this niche market. I showed my 12 year old niece, who is visiting from San Antonio, your MySpace page. Her remark was, "I freeze pickle juice in ice trays at home all the time." Even at 12 years old, I think she understands the potential of your business. She then proceeded to ask me to order a couple of cases for her. Best wishes to you in your endeavor. Richard |
Duncan Wells The pickle sickle certainly sounds like it has that appeal. Advertising and promotion and finding distributors for the pickle sickle will be your key to success. Just knowing that it's a frozen treat and one that has a familiar flavor tells me it could be a HUGE hit anywhere in Canada or the United States. I mean, everybody loves pickles so how can it miss? I wish you lots of luck with it! Duncan Wells, the composer of the Pickle Song. |
Hello John, t hey were so good. thank you. i was more than pleased with the promptness of delivery. good job Skim. |
Hello John, Thanks so much for contacting us. We would definitely be interested in exploring opportunities to grow together. We have the grand opening of our new facilities today which has made for a full week, so if possible I would love to talk early next week, would that work for you? If so, let me know what a good time to call. I look forward to speaking! Steve Byrnes President Van Holten's www.vanholtenpickles.com |
Hi John, I just spoke with you on the phone about sending over samples of Pickle Sickle over to Stuff Magazine so we can feature it in our November issue. Our address is: Stuff Magazine We look forward to trying your product! Thank you so much, Stuff Magazine |
I produce a nightly news magazine show for CN8/The Comcast Network. I was just reading about your pickle sickles and am fascinated! Would you be willing to do a phone interview with us about these? Lauren Avellino Turton Producer Art Fennell Reports |
Dish With the Experts
The Food Section of The Washington Post
Wednesday, March 12, 2008; 1:00 PM
A chat with the Food section staff is a chance for you to ask questions, offer suggestions and share information with other cooks and food lovers. It is a forum for discussion of food trends, ingredients, menus, gadgets and anything else food-related.
Each chat, we will focus on topics from the day's Food section. You can also read the transcripts of past chats. Do you have a question about a particular recipe or a food-related anecdote to share? The Food section staff goes Free Range on Food every Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET. Read about the staff of the Food section.
The transcript follows....
Arlington, Va.: I loved the article about pickle juice! I actually tend to add the leftover pickle juice to potato salad and even tuna salad: it adds a necessary zing! It also helps to add a bit of the juice to the water when you boil potatoes to prevent potatoes from getting too mushy.
When I was a little girl, my mom marinated her own tomatoes and watermelon, and the "juice" from that is even better!!!
Bonnie: That potato tip may just net you a cookbook today . . . are you listening, editor Joe?
Joe: I'm with you -- I've added pickle juice to potato salads for longer than I can remember. And I've been known to drink from the jar, even . . . .
_______________________
Pickle Sickle: The video on the pickle sickles was great... especially loved the girl clenching her teeth because she was trying to smile... haha! So cute.
Joe: Glad you liked it. Leave it to our great video editors at WPNI -- I of course laughed the whole time I was filming that one, but I never would've thought to put that particular moment in, and it ended up being one of my favorite sections!
