TikTok has made life harder for food service employees, with menu hacks, viral requests, and pranks, which are caught on camera and then passed around online. So is this a real thing, or a joke?
A TikTok’er named “Mississippi Memaw” posted a clip where she went through the drive-thru of a Sonic, and only ordered “a large Dr. Pepper, with pickles.”
The clerk didn’t seem surprised. She just noted that the added pickles would appear on the order as “cherries.”
Apparently ordering a Dr. Pepper with pickles is “normal” enough that a worker didn’t seem phased by it, but abnormal enough that the computer system wasn’t programmed to have an option for adding pickles to a soda.
Sure enough, the woman receives a large Dr. Pepper with a handful of pickles inside. She says it may sound gross, but, “Don’t knock it until you try it.” She also said that “a lot of people drink this.”
Here’s her video. And here’s an amusing follow-up where she defends paying $3.62 for a Dr. Pepper with pickles. It does sound like she’s legit, and isn’t pulling a fast-one on the internet.
