How about a Pickle Pop?

10:00 PM CDT on Wednesday, July 16, 2008

This summer we're taking a look at products that help you have fun in the sun and beat the heat -- this week’s product originates in South Central Texas.

Popsicles are a great way to beat the stifling heat, but how would your taste buds react to a frozen treat made out of pickle juice?

Say hello to Bob's Pickle Pops! This bizarre taste sensation started in Seguin, and at just 5 calories and no sugar, the frozen pickle juice is said to be a healthy treat.

We took these mouth puckering pops to the Austin Nature Center camp, where the kids were eager to help us do a taste test.

We didn't tell the kids what flavor they'd be testing out. Let's see how our green pickle sickles go over with this crowd.

Judging from their reactions you either love them, or you don’t.

This thing packs a sour blast of icy-cold dill pickle juice -- and to my surprise, it wasn’t bad at all! In fact I kind of liked it!

In the end, it all comes down to what your taste buds like.

It was a split decision on Bob’s Pickle Pops -- thumbs up AND thumbs down.
