Gone are the days when a plain-old pickle from the jar would suffice. The world has graduated to pickle-flavored snacks, and you're going to want to try them all immediately. We're talking pickle cashews, pickle popcorn, pickle soda, and pickle gummies (!). And that's not even half of the tangy, salty, acidic snacks made with the distinct flavors of pickles. Read on to discover 12 of the most weirdly wonderful snacks you can actually buy for your pickle-loving self or friend.

01

Emerald Dill Pickle Cashews

One of the best new snacks of 2016 was hands down these Emerald Dill Pickle Cashews ($7). The salty, acidic seasoning gives a boost of flavor to the hearty nuts, and they're a healthier option than potato chips.

02
Pickle Juice Soda

Pickle Juice Soda

The internet just about lost its damn mind when Pickle Juice Soda became a thing. It's available for $10 from Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop — though it's currently out of stock — and it has pure cane sugar and pickle juice. We have a feeling this one is for serious pickle-juice fans only.

03
Pickle Candy

Pickle Candy

When candy and pickles meet, this happens. Pickle Barrel Candy ($9) is individually wrapped pieces of green hard candies that you can suck on to get all the pickle flavor your heart desires.

04
Pickle Popsicles

Pickle Popsicles

Perhaps the most unexpected post-workout snack is Van Holten's Pickle-Ice pops ($11). But it's true — pickle juice can help with cramps, dehydration, and soreness. But if you are not interested in the health benefits and just love the idea of eating frozen pickle juice like a popsicle, you can keep these stocked in your fridge anytime a craving strikes.

05
Trader Joe's Popcorn in a Pickle

Trader Joe's Popcorn in a Pickle

The holy grail of pickle-flavored snacks, in our opinion, is Trader Joe's Popcorn in a Pickle ($2). The light and airy popcorn is enhanced with the distinct flavors of dill pickles, and trust us when we say you won't be able to stop yourself from eating handful after handful.

06
Gummy Pickle

Gummy Pickle

This Gummy Pickle package ($13) might seem like it's filled with little pickle-flavored gummies, but it's actually one giant pickle in gummy form. It's about four-and-a-half inches long and two inches wide, and it looks like your average dill pickle.

07
Thick + Bold Dill Pickle Kettle Brand Potato Chips

Thick + Bold Dill Pickle Kettle Brand Potato Chips

Holy potato-chip heaven. Kettle Brand's Thick + Bold Dill Pickle Chips ($3) are nothing short of perfection. The thick-cut, ridged chips have a texture that stands up to the intense pickle seasoning.

08
Pickle Lollipops

Pickle Lollipops

Instead of licking a pickle, you can lick an actual Dill Pickle Lollipop ($9). The green and white swirled candies are sweet, tangy, and infused with the flavors of dill pickles.

09

Trader Joe's Somewhat Spicy Dill Flavored Kettle Cooked Potato Chips

These tangy pickle chips were one of the best new Trader Joe's products from August 2016, and while they were sadly discontinued, they're worth requesting as a comeback item.

10
Pickle Gumballs

Pickle Gumballs

These Pickle Gumballs ($5) promise an "extra briny" flavor.

Simply7 Dill Pickle Kale Chips

Would you prefer to eat kale chips if they tasted more like pickles? Then you'll love Simply7 Dill Pickle Kale Chips ($3), which are not overpoweringly pickle-flavored but have just enough to get you more excited to eat kale.

12
Dill Pickle Mints

Dill Pickle Mints

We're not sure how fresh your breath will smell after eating a few Dill Pickle Mints ($9), but the unexpected mints are undoubtedly worth trying.
