So here is my honest opinion. Me and the Mr. tried them. I didn't tell him what what I did with the pickles only that wanted him to try it, and immediately he spit it out saying NOPE. I then tried them and found them to be sweet but nothing to spectacular about them. I will say I kept forgetting to shake them, so they got shaken about 3 times during the whole week, and we tried them on the 6th day of marination.
I am waiting a few more days and will try them again and give a different review if opinions change..
