I have got myself in to quite a pickle.

I just thought I would share this story.

I came across these Claussen gummy pickles at my local store.

They were in a cute package that looked like a jar of pickles.

I did some calculating in my head and decided I could sell them on ebay and make my required profit margin.

So I bought them all, every last one.

I get home with them and my roommate brings to my attention that they are not pickle flavored, they were green apple flavored.

Gummy "pickles" that are not pickle flavored?  What?

That changed my whole outlook on things.

I decided to list a few and return the rest.

They sold like crazy even though they were not pickle  flavored.

So I went back and re-purchase them all again.  I felt like an idiot.

They continued to sell like crazy for about 2 weeks, then sales just stopped.

I can't figure out why.

Now I'm stuck with a shipload of gummy pickles.

I'm not that worried as they have a very long expiration date (06-2025).

Hopefully I'll be able to sell them by then.

Happy holidays everyone!

For me it is a serious price gap issue. $23 vs $5

Issue with some of my items is off-shore re-pops taking over.

(never mind, most everything is off-shore from you) 🤣

This must-have tasty and delicious treat not only satisfies with rich yummy goodness, but its shelf life is guaranteed to last through the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (if they don't steal the jar and scoff the contents) and through the end of the world itself! Wake up on the other side of eternity with Claussen Gummy Pickles...and taste the tang!

Let me know when you are selling banana-flavored cashews that look like toffee.  😛

I'm just sad that you don't ship to Canada.

I have a longing for pineapple candy.
