“The new giant pickle ornament was custom-designed to remain unsliced, and to withstand the elements throughout the holiday season,” said Richard Hooper, vice president of marketing and communications for the PDP, via email, for the Trib Live.
“With the pickle dill-saster disappointing a lot of people last year and becoming a metaphor for 2020, we wanted to really deliver on the spectacle this year.”
The World's Largest Pickle Ornament was grown as a gift from KraftHeinz to celebrate Heinz’s hometown roots, according to the PDP, which is inviting visitors to take a photo with the pickle and post it on social media via #PickleOrnamentPGH.
The pickle represents a German-American holiday tradition of hiding a pickle-shaped ornament on the family Christmas tree.
The first person to find the pickle on Christmas morning receives an extra present — or year of good luck.
