Kmart’s ‘Must-Have’ Pickle Jar prompts heated debate
At the Seniors Discount Club, we've seen our fair share of retail trends come and go.
But the recent frenzy over Kmart’s new Glass Flip Pickle Jar? Well, it’s certainly stirring up quite the ruckus, and we felt it was high time we had a closer look at this product.
Priced at an affordable $10, the convenient jar was designed to temporarily separate pickles from their brine, thus making pickle fishing a simple, mess-free task none of us realised we needed help with until now.
A gentle flip of the jar allows you to separate the two components with ease, which could prove handy for other household staples like olives, feta cheese, beetroot or even tropical tinned fruits like pineapples, all often stored in liquid.
But why all the uproar over a pickle jar, you ask?
It appears what was initially expected to be the launch of a practical and innovative product quickly snowballed into an electrifying shopping spree amongst passionate Kmart shoppers, many of whom became fervently desperate to secure one for themselves as soon as possible. It also stirred up an interesting debate…more on that later.
This whole frenzy was, in part, fanned by videos — including one by user @luxeandlemonade — that showcased the jar. The response was overwhelming.
'OMG, I’m buying one today after work!' one excited Kmart lover exclaimed.
'Need, need, need!' chimed in another, echoing the sentiments of hundreds of thousands equally excited about the product.
However, things took a fascinating turn when the humble jar sparked a sub-debate about the controversial topic of—drinking pickle brine.

As novel as this might seem to some of us, it appears to be quite a polarising issue amongst shoppers.
While there were those who relished the idea of sipping the tangy liquid straight from the jar, there were others who couldn’t conceal their horror.
'People who drink pickle juice are not my people. Just no.' one shopper commented.
Another remarked, 'People talking about drinking pickle juice is just gross.'
Nonetheless, whether for pickles or the juice, the Glass Flip Pickle Jar has Australian shoppers racing to get their hands on it.
Particularly when compared to an overpriced $70 version spotted on Amazon a few months ago by one eagle-eyed customer.
‘I saw this on Amazon a few months ago for $70. The Kmart one is a bargain.’ cried one enthusiastic bargain hunter, voicing the sentiments of many others.
This curious frenzy only goes to prove that when it comes to retail, there's rarely a dull moment in Australia.
New products and innovations continuously hit the shelves, triggering waves of excitement amongst bargain-hunting enthusiasts—especially when they're as inventive and handy as Kmart’s latest pickle jar.
We’re curious: What is your stance on the debate surrounding the drinking of pickle brine? Do you find it intriguing, or do you share the sentiment of those who find it gross?
