      I can give you one explanation to it. Which is the one criteria I had for disliking this video. It is not about the guy talking about the pickles and their difference. I actually wanted to watch the video because that reason. The dislike comes from the fact of the "guessing" which one is more expensive than the other. Of course the presenter had already seen the more expensive than the cheaper, he was told the order of it. Making the video no legit. Do you believe how ridiculous would be to be a pickle expert and fail in this video. Embarrassing isn't it? So it is the fraud, sham, deceitfulness in this video having someone to GUESS.

We usually buy Thai rice as that's what I'm used to eating and it's only like $50 for a 25 lb bag. Also very good. I'm not a huge fan of Indian rice such as basmati as to me, it's expensive and just not good rice as it doesn't have any flavor and it's kind of a harder rice whereas I like mine to be a little softer. I do like sticky rice a lot and it's my prefer rice but we normally don't eat it too often. That's my take on rice as I have no clue what type of rice it is other than where they're from and that's how I categorize rice is where they're from.

    The expert is Bob McClure of McClure Pickles which he started with his brother, Joe, in 2006.
    “Using their maternal great-grandmother’s spicy pickle recipe, brothers Bob, 35, and Joe, 33, have become a legend in the world of artisanal cukes, but they never planned it that way. Starting with that original spicy pickle, the McClure’s started peddling their goods in 2006, and today, though they still stick to cucumbers, they have garlic-dill, sweet and spicy, and arguably the best Bloody Mary mix ever made. Though you can find McClure’s Pickles all over the country at select stores, and even in specialty shops in Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and South Korea, the operation remains small and family owned. From his office in Michigan, Bob McClure took the time to fill us in on what makes his pickles so darn special.”

    Here I am yet again, laying in bed at 3:51 am. Eating a big carton of goldfish crackers and watching a "pickle expert" guess between cheap and expensive pickles. This really is the highlight of my life.

    You may laugh but I'm studying biotechnology and on the exam from the fermentation processes we were supposed to find the expensive and the cheap pickles and yoghurt. So yeah, this and the yoghurt video would be very helpful for me a year ago.

    I like how he doesn’t dismiss the less expensive options. Although they are mass produced with lesser ingredients, some of those inexpensive ones have great taste profiles and have gone through more interesting flavour-journeys. Interesting.

      He can teach people how to make pickles explaining how to balance flavors or blog about it posting recipes, if he manages to get enough traction, he can do sponsored content. It just depends on how he puts himself out there and delivers information.

    Me: any food that is mass produced is going to cost less because it’s easier to make- colorants, low quality ingredients, imitations/extracts, uniformity, and large quantities of salt and/or sugar are going to indicate a lower cost product. Which doesn’t make it bad, it’s what a lot of people like, it’s what puts food on a lot of people’s tables because it’s more affordable. But it does typically mean you’re getting something less unique and not very high quality.
