What do the pickle companies say? Despite avoiding the word “pickle” on most of their labels, Vlasic, Claussen and Mt. Olive all use the term on their websites, in advertisements, and in the product descriptions of their pickle varieties. When asked why the word isn’t on the front of the jars, all three companies provided nearly the same answer: They feel the word “pickle” isn’t necessary on pickles packaged in clear glass containers. “When pickle lovers see the clear Vlasic jar, they know they’re getting a great tasting pickle every time,” wrote Carolyn Goldberger, the brand manager at Vlasic, in a statement shared with Nexstar. “We use the limited label space to clearly communicate the form and flavor inside each jar. That way consumers can easily find their favorite Vlasic. But no matter the style, it’s definitely a pickle!” Mt. Olive similarly claimed that its packaging focuses on the variety rather than the product, to make it “easier for consumers to spot the type of pickle they are looking for on the shelf, without having a busy or distracting label.” Learn more.
