I don't get it. I go to the grocery store and it's like $1 per cucumber in the produce section. I go to the pickle section and can get a jar of about 15 of them for $3 - or Sams Club and get a jar of 25 for a similar price.So let me get this straight, they can pickle the cucumber enhancing it's deliciouness and put it in a jar for me for safe keeping for a long time and the price drops drastically?Farmers and produce pros, please explain.

If you're looking for something cheaper to sodomize yourself with, might I suggest a carrot

canned is always cheaper than fresh

Killer explanation!

carrot would be most appropriate I think. Get one w/ a good point, and really put some force behind it.

I'm going to go with:You can do anything you want with a cucumber, including pickle itbut once you have a pickle....that's about it]

if a grocery store purchases ten pickled cucumbers, they will sell them all. if they buy ten cucumbers they have a pretty decent chance of having to throw many of them away. not to mention it costs more to ship cucumbers than pickles.

i'm going withthe cucumbers that become pickles weren't fit to be sold as just cucumbers.it's like the sausage of the vegetable world.

pickles are imported in barrels from all over the world. it's cheaper to handle them than fresh cucumbers.

also you can make pickles with shitty cucumbers which is not the case with actual fresh cucumbers.
