Jimmy John’s latest menu item is putting people in a pickle: Is it worth trying?

Last week, the sandwich chain released its Picklewich for a limited period. A receive on the traditional Jimmy John’s sandwich, the Picklewich features “two halves of a crisp Jimmy Pickle” in lieu of fresh bread.

The pickle promotion includes a Turkey Picklewich (turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato), Vito Picklewich (salami, capocollo, provolone, onion, lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar and oregano-basil) and the yield of the Pickle Jimmy Chips (dill-flavored potato chips). Both sandwiches are served on a jumbo kosher dill pickle.

Over the history week, content creators have flocked their local Jimmy John’s stores to distribute their thoughts on the recent, dilly sandwich.

10 out of 10

Foodie content creator Anidas Lajaunie taste-tested the Turkey Picklewich and Pickle Jimmy Chips on Tuesday.

“I have been so enthusiastic,” Lajaunie said in his TikTok video. “It’s 10:30 (a.m.) and I was like, ‘I have to get it.'”

Following a large, crunchy bite, Lajaunie shakes his head in apparent disbelief before going in for another.

“I adore that so much,” Lajaunie says between bites. “Jimmy John’s, thank you so much for doing this. I’m so joyful. Yum!”

Antavia Lauren, an Atlanta-based food and trip influencer, also praised the sandwich, rating the Turkey Picklewich seven out of 10 and the Vito Picklewich a 10 out of 10. As for the chips though, they didn’t meet Lauren’s expectations.

“Jimmy John’s, you got the sandwiches correct, but these pickle chips, I would probably provide them maybe like a five,” she said in her TikTok video.

But not everyone is a fan.

‘Save your money’

“This is not excellent and I adore pickles,” Maggie Sterling, a weight deficit coach, said in a TikTok video reviewing the Turkey Picklewich on Tuesday. “Save your money.”

Content creator Kimberling Cherrell said on Wednesday that while the Picklewich is worth a try, she doesn’t enjoy it’s slip-and-slide nature.

“It’s excellent to try like one period, but I ain’t going to get it no more,” Cherrell said in her TikTok video trying the Vito Picklewich. “I just don’t like the truth that my meat keeps sliding away from the bite.”

Brands weigh in with back

It wouldn’t be a social media pattern if other brands didn’t weigh in with their thoughts.

On the Jimmy John’s Instagram post announcing the Picklewich, several brands posted in back.

“Speechless,” wrote Cheez-It.

“It’s missing something,” Hellmann’s Mayonnaise commented with double eye emoji.

“We recognize the perfect drink to leave with that,” cocktail mix brand Zing Zang wrote.
