Pickle Juice Soda is actually a thing and people are equally intrigued as they are grossed out

A US sweet shop has released a new pickle-flavoured soft drink that is sure to wreak havoc on the tastebuds of anyone who tries it.

Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop – which already offers an array of weird and wonderful flavours – has now added Pickle Juice Soda to its shelves.

The store’s Facebook page reads: “If you’re the kind of pickle lover who relishes all things pickled, this is gonna be a really big dill.”

While Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop – which has stores in Pennsylvania and Ohio – said its customers were “excited” about the new beverage on offer, the response on social media has been somewhat torn.
