China's Food Supply in a Pickle

Exploding pickles from China were turned back by United States custom officials on Wednesday, when the pickles shot out of the jar and then exploded into star shaped bursts of green pickle goo when the custom officials opened a jar for inspection. The pickles, packaged under a ‘Fourth of July" label, were traced to a fireworks factory in China.

"We were just trying to diversify", said the factory owner as he was being led away to be shot, "Chinese New Year only comes once a year, and fireworks sales have been slow".
