Jimmy John's put its famous pickles in a 48-ounce collectible bucket at 26 locations. Swicy Pickle Bites, sweet and spicy, three pounds of them, in a bucket. The brand straight up told fans to "exchange the popcorn bucket for a giant pickle bucket," and honestly, that is the boldest sentence in fast food this year.
Every chain is in a novelty container arms race right now. McDonald's has a bucket, KFC has a bucket, everybody wants you hauling their branded bucket around like a trophy. Jimmy John's walked into that fight holding pickles, and I cannot stop thinking about the confidence that takes.
