Tim's In a Pickle: Wins Pickle Eating Contest and Signs Contract with Gedney's Pickle Co.

Tim Prepares for his first commercial

June 8, 1999,Twin Cities, MN

Tim Vickerman has always had a love for pickles, but this week he put that love for pickles to good use in enterting the Gedney Pickle Chew-A-Thon. Along with over 100 pickle lovers he set out to eat more pickles in an hour than any other contestant. The winner of the contest was to be awarded a lucrative advertising contract for the company as he or she would become the new company spokesperson on a major advertising blitz.

Tim was able to down over 600 pickles in that first hour, and he wouldn't quit. He just laughed and said, "you ain't seen nuthin' yet". He continued to to down jar after jar of pickles. And by evening he had consumed the entire stock of the Gedney Warehouse much to everyone's amazement.

There is an ongoing investigation, however. It is rumored that Tim may have been involved in the preparation of a new diet pill at the Eli Lilly plant where he works. Some have suggested that he smuggled some of the experimental pills out of the state of Indiana and brought them with him on his trip to Minnesota for the contest. Could this be true? Could it be the reason for his incredible ability to down jar after jar of pickles without effort? Well we may never know. But one thing is sure, he has a permanent case of pickle breath. Even so, he was declared the winner of the contest and is currently working on a series of commercials for the company.

The commercials will be airing soon. Stay tuned. You will especially want to see the commercial that will be airing during next year's superbowl. Tim will be taking on Jesse Ventura in a pickle eating contest.... it will be a real treat!
