The Vlasic Pickle Balls are a new snack created with the brand's signature product in mind that is cheekily named to take advantage of the popularity of the sport.
The snack features corn puffs crafted with cornmeal to give them a soft yet crispy texture that will melt in the mouth when eaten. The green-hued corn puffs are covered in a dusting of garlic and onion powder to work well with the bold flavor of Vlasic pickles in every bite. This dill and vinegar flavor will work well for consumers who have a penchant for pickle-flavored snacks.
The Vlasic Pickle Balls are branded with a pickle ball paddle to further drive home the sports-inspired nature of the snack.
