That used to be the only way i could eat them. Stemming from childhood trauma... Later it got to where I could stomach them with crumpled up bacon, and from there branched off into mushrooms, artichokes, etc. and the whole modern gamut of things found in scrambled eggs... But there's still a soft spot in my heart for pickle-o. Scrambled eggs with relish, and buttered toast with strawberry jam, and hot chocolate. A perfect breakfast. |

my mother finds canned corn disgusting, but it reminds me of my childhood. |

excluding any possible relation to "piccolo", i'm going to say that they are pickles shaped like an "o". they only other american product i can think of with an "-o" at the end is "bac-o's". which, paradoxically, is neither o-shaped nor bacon. |

you realize that this is so tantalizingly meaningless that i'm going to have to find out why "-o" gets tacked onto the end of products. the truth is out there. |
you can get them in new orleans |

here's what i found on the jell-o front: "In 1897, Pearle Wait, a carpenter in LeRoy, was putting up a cough remedy and laxative tea in his home. He experimented with gelatine and came up with a fruit flavored dessert which his wife, May, named Jell-O. He tried to market his product but he lacked the capital and the experience. In 1899 he sold his formula to a fellow townsman." later it says that the company that did have the capital to market jell-o was a coffee substitute company called grain-o. this is only going to get worse. |
