Abstract
A container for storage of a pickle, as well as to facilitate a mess-free eating experience of a pickle is described. The container has a top portion and a bottom portion. Disposed between the top portion and bottom portion, a series of cylindrical segments are present. The cylindrical segments are configured to be removed in sequence in order to reveal more of the pickle as it is consumed, providing the user a means by the which the pickle may be eaten completely without having to directly touch or move the pickle itself. The bottom portion is equipped with a bottom having a means by which the cylindrical segments as well as the top portion may be affixed for storage during consumption of the pickle.

A pickle container comprising:
- a body, said body composed of discrete interlocking segments;
- wherein said body is generally cylindrical;
- wherein said interlocking segments are cylindrical;
- a top section, said top segment terminating at a rounded point;
- wherein said top section is configured to interlock with any of said interlocking segments;
- wherein said interlocking segments are shorter than said top section;
- a bottom section, said bottom section terminating at a rounded point;
- and
- wherein said interlocking segments are shorter than said bottom section;
- wherein said interlocking segments are equal in size;
- wherein said top section differs in size from said bottom section;
- and wherein said top section and said bottom section comprise a top and a bottom of the container respectively;
- at least one juice hole, said at least one juice hole present at said rounded point of each said bottom section and top section;
- and
- a juice hole plug, said juice hole plug removably disposed within said at least one juice hole of each of said bottom section and said top section, wherein said juice hole plug is configured to sealingly engage said at least one juice hole to prevent liquid from exiting the container when engaged, and to permit selective removal of liquid when disengaged.
