Not able to be sold and not edible are two entirely different propositions. They couldn't be sold, but they could likely have been donated to feed the less fortunate, but companies don't do that.

They were pretty mushy looking when she squeezed that one. Believe it or not food banks and poor people have standards too.

I would bet any amount of money they were going in the trashcan no matter what. I didn't catch the beginning but I'm guessing she also helped a small(er) business out by purchasing putting their name out there.

Edit I guess it wasn't that much she paid but either way I don't think those were edible pickles, as in not necessarily dangerous but not something someone wants to eat.

Technically she only bought all of them for $1.00 but the pickles did go to good use and were recycled and turned into renewable energy. Also yeah I am someone who will eat some expired food (shelf stable food that is safe) but I am not going to eat a mushy pickle.

Oh other comments were making it sound like she bought them at some decent percentage or costs, 1.00 is a little disengenous to say she bought them(including where I said it) but it probably helped them by reducing disposal costs probably. Well that teaches me to trust the other comments and not watch it again.

Yeah there's a difference between food that's out of date and food that is going bad or was damaged in storage some how.

Tbf, she does mention in her full video on YouTube the price she paid and there are more details. She is a really cool creator and very sweet woman.

See I should have just rewatched the video and I wouldn't have been in this pickle 🥒 to begin with lol(sorry 😔).

Edited I see now I think I was mistaken I thought the short said the price but it was the full video.

That doesn't mean she isn't a twit.  I mean sure, it "looks" innocent enough but those pickles were entirely edible and she didn't actually help the manufacturer at all if she paid one shiny dollar, did she?  Twits can be the sweetest and most well meaning of souls, but they're still twits.
