Suck it, LEDs. The pickle is here.

"We knew the time had come to create something wondrous with pickles," Sam Bompas, one half of gin-cloud generating, wedding cake-exploding culinary masters Bompas & Parr, tells Wired.co.uk. The pickle has been overlooked for too long.

Bompas is relaying the story of how the Gherkin Chandelier—a gherkin-powered piece of lighting with an eerie glow akin to the Grinch lit up at Christmas—came to be.

Probably had too much to dream last night to come up with that idea.

I love deep fried pickles.  I wonder what these taste like after being used as a light?
