Hard to say. The article about Vlasic Pickles says he was a Bosnian Croat, so it could go either way. He did sell good pickles, though. In the 70s, we never had anything else in the house.

I have a polish deli nearby where I can buy not-assembly-line pickles and not globalist blackrock owned Campbell's soup or Heinz.

Pickles are inherently funny.

"The modern Vlasic Stork speaks in a style reminiscent of Groucho Marx, holds a pickle like a cigar, the original voice was Ron Masak, but today Vlasic Stork is voiced by Doug Preis."
