When The Pickle IS The Pickle

Got a sandwich from Chik-Fil-A the other day.

I know I know …. What’s the big deal ?

See, I’m not really a fan of Chik-Fil-A.  I just don’t really care for chicken sandwiches.

Now, we could get in a discussion about people not liking Chik-Fil-A for their political or religious views, but on that, I don’t really care. 

NOW – there are some places that I refuse to patron, but overall I prefer to not participate in the “Cancel Culture”.

But here I was getting Charlotte her usual: nuggets, waffle fries and a Dr. Pepper and I thought to myself, “Jim (yes, I do refer to myself in 3rd person when I talk to myself), I’m kind of hungry, I could go for a #1.”

So I got it and it was okay.  It hit the spot.

But here’s what made me think.  What do other people do with the pickle?

I mean, I know what I do.

Now, assuming that you didn’t order it without the pickle, there are only a few options of what you can do with that pickle(s):

  1. Eat it as part of the sandwich.
  2. Pull it off and eat it separately
  3. Pull it off and offer it to someone else
  4. Pull it off and throw it away

That’s it.

These are the only 4 choices.

I don’t think any option is better than any other option.

I don’t think that either option is “wrong”.

I know I know … the name of the blog is “Because Jim Says” – but on this one, I don’t have an opinion.

But usually I do #2.

See, I like the pickle(s) on either a burger or chicken sandwich, but I don’t like it as part of the sandwich.  I much more prefer it as a separate entity.

So on this one – I give you fee reign to do as you please – and I will not chastise you for being “wrong” as there is no “wrong”

But I’ll also not lose sleep over it.

I’ll not obsess over what to do with this pickle(s).

In this one, I don’t have a deep thought or keen insight.

Nope.

It’s just the pickle that the pickle creates.

What to do with the pickle.
