When my husband was little, his grandfather used to put a pickle in his bag of dill pickle chips. Everytime he got near the bottom of the bag there was one in it. After his grandfather passed away, he began to think that they didn't make them that way. When he was 18 he mentioned how dill pickle chips used to have pickles in them and that's when he finally found out that he had been tricked as a kid
