If you’re looking something to nosh on this summer that will satiate your cravings for something sweet and savory, look no further than fruit punch [pickles](https://www.google.com/search?q=pickles+time.com&oq=pickles+time.com&aqs=chrome..69i57.2702j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=pickles+time.com&tbm=nws), the unique snack you never knew you needed.

Called “Tropickles,” these pickles are being sold under the Great Value brand at 1,2000 [Wal-Mart](http://time.com/4609144/walmart-black-lives-matter-shirts/) stores this month. The “Tropickles” are described as “fruit punch flavored pickles” and [retail for $2 a pop](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Tropickles-24oz/583052278).

As might be expected, the Internet had plenty of feelings about these brightly colored, fruity-flavored pickles and took to the web to share their thoughts.

One shopper simply expressed his disbelief by saying “What in the world.”

Another customer enjoyed the tropickles, noting that fans of sweet pickles would enjoy it.

A radio show even had their staffers try the unique snack.
