In 2008, an unemployed guy from Boston started selling pickles out of his car at baseball games.

On this episode of Weird History Food we take a look at the bizarre true story of how a homemade pickle recipe became a $100-million lifestyle brand and became one of the weirdest American business success stories of the 21st century.
