Warning: in this episode we play a snippet from the very first episode of Ingredipedia back in 2015 and... eeek. It's a bit cringe, but there's a rhyme and reason ok!? It's because 'pickles' was our first ever episode topic and we feel like so much has changed in the pickle world since then... it's high time we did a pickle sequel. 

So, how did pickles go from burger afterthought to full-blown personality trait? In our first ever ingredient sequel, we unpack how pickles became Gen Z’s avocado -- from fashion statements to elite sport hydration and the cult of the McDonald’s pickle.
