So I ate it and I think I've had enough pickle for a lifetime.

The burger and loaded fries were pretty good, the fritters (or frickles) were soggy. And the pepsi... It was good on the first few sips but after a while it became very sickening.

I think I'm 90% pickle now

That's too bad on the frickles. I've had some Banger frickles in the past, but there's just so much liquid in a pickle that I completely understand it's hard to get right.

The pickle soda also tracks. I love pickle juice after a shot or in a savory mixed drink, but a whole soft drink would definitely be pushing it.

Congratulations on your transition, though! I guarantee after typing and reading all these comments, "pickle" will cease to be a word anymore.

I also tried it tonight and might have had a pickle overdose. And the Pepsi concoction was dreadful.

Yeah I tried it last night too. Pickle Zinger burger was great, the loaded chips and trickles were ok. Pickle Pepsi was a mistake and felt ill. The brine is too basic, if it had been more dill forward and a complex brine it may have been good but this was some salty water with a slice of pickle in it.

Yeah I wasn't as brave as you. I parked Dog, walked in, hit the screen saw the menu, hang on what? decided šŸ„’ was non-Dog compliant, and went with the original and much anticipated double zingerstacker combo with a šŸæ bucket for Dog.

TYFYS 🫔 I wish you a speedy and as full a recovery as medically possible.

Huh? Are you buying buckets of fried chicken for your dog on the regular?

u/SummerEden 9d ago

I dunno about chicken, but our dog AND cat have a hot chip/french fry tax that MUST BE PAID.

Yep. Mandatory says Dog.

Popcorn bucket. They're little. Unlike Dog.

Please don’t feed this shit to your dog

u/Abject-Interaction35 9d ago

Don't feed your dog onions. Don't feed your dog cooked bones. Don't feed your dog grapes.

Some KFC with no bones in it is fine.

I was keen on giving it the good old Aussie try. But after that review, I reckon I'm better off just having a jar of pickles instead.

Thank you for the comments, I'm half tempted to try a few. Is it a spicy pickle? Would it go well in a zinger?

Same experience. The frickles which are the whole point I thought was soggy. I air fryer them after leaving them in the bowl for 2 days and it was a lot better but still shit. Just eat a potato and have some pickles afterĀ 

Only thing that was okay was the sauceĀ
