Why does everything always come with a pickle?

When I order any type of sandwich, I almost always get a pickle spear with it hidden in the fries. I get that some people like pickles, but their taste overpowers the rest of the sandwich and their juice soaks into the bread and fries.

I am with you 100% on this one. I keep forgetting to say "no pickle". If I ran a food service business and pickles were served with various items, I would instruct my staff to always ask the folks ordering. It must cost qite a bit of money to throw away pickles left by those of us who do not eat them, so not like them, and find the juice has left a nsty taste.

From what I can tell this is a US thing, but I don't know why. Fortunately I happen to like pickles. I suspect there might be some sort of industry arrangement, as they're really the only times I eat pickles and wouldn't just go pick up a jar otherwise.

Pickles are nature's toothbrush. You get a pickle to clean out your palate after your meal.

Good pickles are crunchy, salty, and sour, which adds an interesting balance to a meal in those dimensions.

What's truly pointless is when a restaurant gives you a limp, flavorless pickle.

Apples are nature's toothbrush.

because the pickles have an acidity that usually goes really well with the sandwich and fries taste

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
