    Pickle ornaments are a traditional thing for some people, but it’s a whole pickle and not a hail corporate jar. The jar is kinda funny too though. I’ve thought about getting pickle ornaments for the trans women I’m friends with as a joke, IDK if the whole jar would be funnier though.

    Food brands: “Here, hang this whimsical ornament on your tree. While you think you’re being edgy, you’re also advertising for us.”

      I dunno. The last time I bought pickles, I was shocked at how expensive they were.

    Oh man I completely forgot about stupid Christmas ornaments.

    I’m like what manner of skibidi toilet-ass Gen Alpha bullshit? Me picturing 12-year-olds wearing these around their necks like rapper chains for some reason I’m too ancient to fathom. Once again, I stand here caught off guard by some huge trend, as I melt slowly back into the earth to die unsung.

    Nah. Just lame super-corporate attempts at a Christmas cash grab. Let’s hang this garbage from some pegs and see if it sells before we chuck it into the dumpster on January 1st. It’s not even going on clearance, it’s going straight in the trash.

    Same shit, different day. Behold, the bedrock of your economy, naked before you. I am relieved. The grave has not taken me, not yet.

    Anyway, carry on then.
