Archie McPhee Yodeling Pickle: A Musical Toy, Fun for All Ages, Great Gift, Hours of Mindless Entertainment, Multi-colored

Fantastic gag gift

I picked up the Yodeling Pickle as a last-minute Christmas gag gift, and let me tell you, it STOLE the show. Forget the ugly sweaters and questionable fruitcakes—this green, plastic crooning cucumber became the star of the holiday.First off, the yodeling. Oh boy. It's ridiculous. It’s like someone hired a yodeler, made them stand in an echoey bathroom, and then compressed the audio into the tiniest speaker possible. The result? A shrill, hilarious burst of musical nonsense that makes everyone stop mid-conversation and ask, “What the heck is that?” It's *chef's kiss* perfect.The best part? My grandma—who’s normally annoyed by anything remotely silly—was *obsessed*. She pressed the button over and over like a kid discovering TikTok for the first time. My dad threatened to take the batteries out, but we all know that would’ve caused a riot.The pickle is surprisingly durable, too. It survived being dropped (okay, thrown) during a particularly spirited gift exchange game. The yodels kept coming, unstoppable, like some kind of alpine banshee. It’s also weirdly hypnotic—after a while, I started humming along, which is either a sign of its genius or my slow descent into madness. Jury’s still out.All in all, this stupid little pickle brought more joy to Christmas than I thought possible. It’s pointless, obnoxious, and completely wonderful. If you want to make people laugh, roll their eyes, and question your gift-giving decisions, THIS is the thing. Five stars. Would 100% buy again... if only to annoy someone else next year.

Fun for the whole familyI bought it as a silly gift for my teenage son (who loves it and brings it out regularly), and my 80-year-old mother NEEDED one. She has used it as a teaching tool in her art classes (long story) and even used it to get off the phone the other day.

I bought this for my son several years ago as a gag Christmas gift (probably 2018). It has provided us with years of laughter! After he got it, it got lost in the mess of the playroom. In 2020 I was cleaning out the room and found the pickle behind/under the couch! I said "You'll never guess what I found?!" We laughed and laughed!!! Then just last year, he was cleaning out his closet and I hear him say "OMG! MOM! Guess what I found?!" I said "The yodeling pickle?!?!" He said "Yes! How did you know?! " I said "because that's exactly what I said when I found it the last time!!!" LOL!!! It's been one of the most memorable gifts I've ever given him.

This has been a hoot in our family. It is the size of a real life pickle with ripples down the sides. It has one big button that controls the yodel. If you push the button several times really fast, the yodel starts from the beginning every time you push the button. I only wish it didn't just have the one yodel.

Who can dislike a yodeling pickle? This is the perfect gag gift or a present for a “Dirty Santa” game.

The battery lasts a long time. Chase the wife around the house with it.
