Pink Pickled Eggs


The stacked jars of pink pickled eggs always bring my shopping cart to an abrupt halt at my neighborhood grocery store. Their brilliant chalky pink brings to mind the sick days of childhood, being spooned Pepto Bismol. I can't help by stare at these odd bobbing ovums. I've never seen a shopper reach for a jar. Do people really buy them? Do they eat them? I have never laid eyes on this product before in my life. It's fascinating to me. The stack of jars is located right next to the beer and wine section, so I see it frequently.
