Did you know Pickle Monster stated as a band?

Thats right! Welcome to the world of Pickle Monster!

Our journey began in late 2018 when myself and two of my best friends started a band called People Food. Our goal was simple, to write music that would challenge us all to become better musicians at our respective instruments. After a year of writing, recording our first EP, and playing shows around Philly, we began to toy with the idea of having some sort of food merch to offer people at our gigs.

As a hot sauce fanatic, I thought making our own sauce would be a good place to start. So I asked my mom (the best cook I know) how I could make a hot sauce that tasted like a spicy pickle. After an afternoon of experimenting with veggies and spices from the Italian market in Philly, the Pickle Monster recipe was born. (Thanks mom.)

Before we knew it, Pickle Monster was a hit. Named after my Belgian Malinois/Dutch Shepherd mix Pickles, our sauce combines the wacky psychedelic imagery of our music with the loving spirit of man’s best friend. Also peppers. There’s a bunch of peppers in it.

So come on out to a People Food gig or come hang with us at a convention as Pickle Monster! Grab a bottle or a shirt or some of our EXCLUSIVE pickles.

And while you’re at it, check out our music and the silly videos we put out on YouTube.

And most of all, thank you to all of you who have supported us on this strange journey. Because Pickle Monster and People Food are our way of life, and we’ll never stop.
