Toys and Games Reviews of Accoutrements Yodelling Pickle
Customer Review: It's a great portable music solution
Summary: 4 Stars
I loaned my iPod to my kid and he broke it. This understandably bummed me out, since I really enjoy taking long walks on the beach while listening to some tune-age. I'm kinda low on funds, so buying a replacement iPod wasn't an option for me. I was very fortunate to discover the Yodeling Pickle. I have been super pleased with the results. First of all, as luck would have it, the Yodeling Pickle just happens to yodel all of my favorite tunes that were stored on my iPod. Hits like "Bobbejaan Schoepen yodels the collected works of Black Sabbath" and of course Slim Whitman's edgy yodeling rendition of "Baby Got Back."
I have withheld one star from my review however, giving the Yodeling Pickle just four of five possible stars. There isn't a headphone jack, which is only a problem if the folks around me don't appreciate yodeling, (which almost NEVER happens). Also, I was accustomed to carrying the iPod strapped to my arm with the elastic armband accessory. Nothing like this is available for the pickle. On my beach walks, I've found that the pickle can be carried around by conveniently tucking it down into the front of my Speedo. I've met tons of nice ladies on the beach since scoring the pickle. I can only assume they dig yodeling as much as I do.
It's a great portable music solution for yodeling fans. Cheaper than an iPod and the chicks seem to dig it.
Customer Review: Yodelling Pickle paid for itself in the first 30 minutes.
Summary: 4 Stars
This pickle paid for itself in almost no time. It was a great improvement over the old "Mach 2" model. The Mach 2 was a family heirloom and greatly prized in our neighborhood but failed to realistically produce a good yodel. Sure, the pickle effect was realistic, but the yodel voice sounded more oriental than eastern Alpine European. This model has a good yodeling voice, though with only one song it can get a little tedious. The appearance of this model gets lots of comments as well - it greatly resembles a thumb, though green in color. The thumb jokes that it inspire seem to be endless. So too are the references to "playing with my pickle". For the single set, it is a wonder! Nobody can resist the opening line: "Would you like to hear my pickle yodel"? The perfect thing to pull out at your next holiday party. My aunt used it to defuse a difficult situation in a Biker bar in Akron, and still gets Christmas cards from the Hell's Angels each year. I do hope that next year brings the PRO Version that has been promised for so long. A pickle with a selection of yodels and a "record your own yodel" option has been on my wish list for 2 years now, and hopefully the dawn of the Mach 4 or "UBER YODELING PICKLE" is at hand.
Customer Review: Yodeling into your heart
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the yodeling pickle for my brother Jeff. Despite what I felt was sufficently self-explanatory packaging, my brother seemed perplexed by what the purpose of the green thing was.
When my brother is confused about something's purpose he has an internal list he goes through. The first thing on this list is to try said item as a suppository, a task the Yodeling Pickle seems frighteningly well-suited for. The second thing on the list is the slightly more disturbing action of turning it sideways and trying it as a suppository again, a task the Yodeling Pickle was less well-suited for. The first 15 or so things on the list wouldn't make it into an R rated movie.
When he finally used the Yodeling Pickel for it's intended purpose, my brother was pleased. His ragged, self-inflicted torture shocked body shook with laughter and trauma.
The Yodeling Pickle is a winner.
Customer Review: Strange, but Effective
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product and it disappeared within a week. No one seems to know what happened to it. As far as everyone is concerned, it ran off on its own. My kids do not lie, so I'm inclined to believe that the product did not properly advertise that this product is self-propelled.
Down-side: If you don't read this review before you purchase, your yodelling pickle will disappear.
Up-side: It's very educational to other inanimate objects. In the short while before it disappeared, it seems to have taught several clothing items to yodel. Every time my daughter walks by, I hear yodelling from her pants. Phenomenal. Couldn't rate it a 1 after that
Customer Review: The Thinking Man's Electronic Yodeling Pickle
Summary: 4 Stars
When it comes to purchasing an electronic yodeling pickle, I have requirements: the device has to be pickle shaped, it should be electronic in nature, and it needs -- NEEDS -- to goddamn yodel. Further, I prefer the design be realistic, but not *overly* realistic, lest the item be accidentally ingested or placed in a clear bottle of garlic brine. This product meets all such specifications, so I've rated it highly. One caveat: although the cartoon yodeling pickle on the packaging has limbs, wears Lederhosen and holds a stein of Germanic ale, the *actual* yodeling pickle does not. Not a deal breaker for me, but might be for someone else.
