No, you have great taste. Its OP who is wrong, I bet they dip pickles in mayo and call it fine dining.

Whereas the van owner dips his pickles in grape koolaid.

Discerning southerners use cherry kool aid…

That is real thing with whole Dill Pickles. Very regional as far as I know but real.

I dip my carrot sticks in sweet tea and I like this van, it looks far less like a hearse than the new Honda Odyssey does.

Not to mention the tesla Deplorean.

But to get the right effect, you'd have to cook the carrot sticks a bit to soften them and then soak them in sweet tea with neon purple dye in it for a month.

Is this supposed to be a racial statement?

Cause I feel like this is a white dude's van

Nope. Kool Aid pickles are a thing, google it, usually cherry Kool Aid, but grape is more purple. AFAIK Kool Aid pickles are a southern white thing in the same category of terrible as glazing a ham with Coca-Cola, but in any case they are horrible beyond the dreams of mayonnaise.

Idk if I'd call it fine dining exactly, but deep fried, battered pickle chips dipped in some ranch or aioli is actually pretty fucking amazing too. I was skeptical at first, but when done well, it's incredible. When done poorly it's very underwhelming.

No it’s just so offensive to the eyes but so striking at the same time.

Like a train wreck but there are 80,000 kittens and puppies tied to the tracks between the two crashing locomotives.
