The pickle law is basically a law that prohibits pickle vendors to sell pickles to anyone other than pickle enthusiasts. If you are a pickle lover, you might be in trouble.
The law has been in effect since the late 1800s, and I think it’s pretty safe to say that before that the only people that used to be able to buy pickles were the hardcore pickle enthusiasts. Most people in the US are very familiar with the “pickle laws” and don’t need any reminder, but here is the short version: pickles aren’t made for everyone.
But the pickle laws, as I understand them, don’t prohibit any pickle enthusiasts from buying other kinds of pickles. They prohibit pickle vendors from selling pickles that are not the approved pickle varieties. So if you want to keep your pickled yams or chorizo, go ahead, but don’t expect your pickle to be any different than any other pickle.
The law states that pickles that are not the approved varieties or are not made to the exact same standards have to be sold at reduced prices, which is not always the case.
A pickle vendor is not required by the law to sell only the approved varieties of pickles, which doesn’t mean they can’t sell any other varieties. The law prohibits pickle vendors from selling pickles that are not made to the required standards, but if they are made to the required standards, they need not sell them.
There’s always a debate as to whether or not the law is just a ploy to help the growers of pickles, or if it actually has any real legal effect. I’m not a lawyer but I think that the law is about to be repealed because the courts in most states have ruled that the law is actually a loophole or a loophole that is there to allow pickle growers to sell pickles that are not the approved varieties.
Of course the law is a loophole, because when pickles are made to the standard specs, the state of Connecticut is not going to have the ability to ban pickles that aren’t the approved variety. In other words, we are in a pickle law right now, but it has no legal effect in the slightest. And that’s because in Connecticut, even if the law were repealed, the state would still have the ability to ban or prohibit pickles that are not the approved variety.
That is exactly how it goes, if you were to go to the home of a Connecticut resident, you would be able to see or taste the pickle that was served to you. It was served in some sort of fancy restaurant and you had to take a bite. So why are these pickles legal and others not? Well, the same sort of loophole that exists in Connecticut prevents the state from banning other varieties of pickles.
I mean, who the hell wants to take their pickle home to eat? If you’re going to eat them, why not just eat them right out of the jar? But, you can’t always eat the whole jar, it’s just not in the spirit of the season.
I think most people would say that the pickle that was served to you was a big no no, but I would say the law is on the side of the law. I have to admit I didn’t enjoy the pickle that I ate, but I did enjoy the legal varieties that are sold in some grocery stores and other places that don’t have a pickle law. That said, I don’t really like it.
