It is described as “pickled people”- which I have no idea why anyone would want!

BIgBagofJelly · 08/02/2019 13:01

choosingchilli · 08/02/2019 13:02

Or maybe unused tights but that's what they look they're made of...

Cheetahssitonfajitas · 08/02/2019 13:02

Wtf? That would make an excellent gift for bad secret santa, mind.

Made me lol when I saw it.
The they aren't pickles and you can't eat them disclaimer.
They in no way look edible Confused

AGHHHH · 08/02/2019 13:08

What is wrong with some people?

Oopsy41 · 08/02/2019 13:08

I've got one of these that I bought as a kid when I was on holiday in Devon. Its kept in a box of old stuff and my kids think it's really funny

Oopsy41 · 08/02/2019 13:09

Just had a proper look at the pics, I was not buying adult novelty toys as a child, mines a granny! Smile

MrsFrTedCrilly · 08/02/2019 13:10

Thanks for that OP I’m off to bleach my mind clean of the images.
But seriously WHY?

Heronymous · 08/02/2019 13:12

That makes me feel a bit sick

SweetAsSpice · 08/02/2019 13:13

GoFiguire · 08/02/2019 13:14

Is that a pickled penis?

HowlsMovingBungalow · 08/02/2019 13:14

I recall these being popular in the 80s.

Vile

Wow, they're horrible! Who on earth would appreciate that for a gift at any time?

grumiosmum · 08/02/2019 13:22

Grim. Reminds me of the Science department in my school where we had loads of jars of pickled body parts. Back in the '70s.

RockyFlintstone · 08/02/2019 13:25

Yes I have seen these before. But just... Why?

And £10-£15!Shock

Home77 · 08/02/2019 13:28

Are those supposed to be breasts from the side and a penis underneath?!

Springwalk · 08/02/2019 13:32

Seriously disturbing. Better suited for Halloween no? The bottom of the jar made me gag Confused

Mummyoflittledragon · 08/02/2019 13:33

There was a thread about these things in jars 2/3 months ago. I’d never seen them before that.
