hmmm... Pickles could change lightbulbs if they had a need to because pickles are alive. If they are also sentient, then they should be able to change a lightbult, or at least come up with the idea of changing a lightbulb. But then again a lightbulb lights in your head when you suddenly thing of somethign if you are a cartoon character so tgherefore lightbulbs must be sentient too and would therefore be responsible for the pickle's thinking up of hte idea to change a lightbulb in the first place. Lightbulbs are responsible for their own changing since they cause the thought to occur in somebody's head to change them so therefor ethey can be responsivle for the changing of a pickle...

Just because I don't want the glowing pickle to get stale, I thought I'd mention here that a company once tried to make an ice cream flavour called "Pickles & Cream"... Yum.

somehow I don't think pickle flavored ice cream would be that tastes. I wonder if it would glow

It actually had chunks of pickle in it, so... maybe.

Regular ice cream with chunks of pickled cucumber might not be so bad actually. However, I think it would be gross if they somehow extracted the flavor from the pickle and made the ice cream it self pickle flavored.

It was vanilla with pickle juice and chunks... You could just mix in some dill relish to try it at home.

HEY FOLKS ..........I think I've found a most worthy successor to the Glowing Pickle - which is now more than living up to its responsbilities within the parent thread of 'Most Boring and Banal Thread on h2g2'.
To what is this fool referring?, I hear you ask.
Why, PUMPKIN NUTS of course.
For clarification GOTO My Journal at U723247.
p.s. Please can I add 'curcurbita longa, vita brevis' to my 'Battle Honours'?
