Your boring lunch from the deli just got a lot fancier.
TikTok’s new obsession is GLITTER PICKLES, or “glickles” for short. (???) A video on how to make them went viral last month, but a lot of people missed it over the holidays. The hashtag “pretty pickles” is also trending.
They’re easy to make: Just open a jar of pickles,dump a ton of edible glitter in there, and enjoy the fanciest pickle you’ve ever seen. (WARNING: There’s an F-bomb near the end of the main video everyone’s sharing.)

A bunch of brands have jumped on the trend or posted comments. Jimmy John’s did a video and got called out for using NON-edible glitter. (Here’s their video.)
Don’t do that, since normal glitter can be toxic. Even if it says non-toxic, you’re basically eating a full spoonful of microplastics. (It could make for a very sparkly bathroom experience though.)
If you want to try it, you can get jars of the edible kind on Amazon for around 10 bucks.
