Grillo s Pickles finally redesigned its notoriously awful lid, and the internet is happy again

Get the Full StoryAfter years of horror stories from buyers, the company has adopted a new jar design with a twist-off lid.

I bought my first jar of Grillo s Pickles in college. I carried them the half mile back from Target to my dorm room which I had decorated like a 70s conversation pit, orange shag rug and all and decided to have a quick snack. When I began to open the resealable lid, a tell-tale fizz should ve alerted me to what was about to happen. But once there was a small crack in the jar s seal, it was already too late. Pickle juice, bits of garlic, and sprigs of dill exploded like a chunky, vinegary firework all over my carefully curated dorm room. For months, the smell of pickles wafted up from the fibers of my rug.
