Glittery Pickle Snacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Gen Z is Making "Glickles" by Adding Edible Glitter to Pickle Jars

— January 30, 2025 — Unique
Gen Z's love of pickles knows no bounds and they eagerly take every chance they get to savor tangy, briny flavors in fun new ways—including making "glickles," or glitter pickles.

For pickle lovers who don't have the patience for cucumbers to pickles in brine, glickles have taken over as a fast way to personalize a favorite snack and make an ordinary jar as dazzling as a snow globe. Commonly, these videos depicting edible glitter stirred or shaken straight into any kind of jar of pickles are accompanied by a popular audio that says "pretty pickles."

While some brands—like Jimmy John's—jumped at the chance to get in on the conversation, TikTok's food combo community is quick to admonish attempts that use real glitter instead of safe-to-eat edible glitter.
