Pickle Physics
[Posted Wednesday, September 2, 2026 9/2/26 8:23 am]
Hey! Someone has broken into my place and eaten almost all of my pickles!
Well... maybe not. But I think I have just identified a very interesting aspect of the physics of a jar of pickles.
Have you ever noticed this? You have a jar of pickles in the fridge that you take approximately one from per day for a quick snack.
For the longest time, the jar doesn't seem to get that much more empty. Then, all of a sudden, one day you notice that the jar looks almost completely empty. Where did all the pickles go?
I think it may have to do with the the geometry of the pickle spears standing upright in the jar, and then being able to become arranged haphazardly when enough room in the jar opens up. But I just don't know for sure.
For now, I guess it will have to remain a mystery. I just wish I knew who was stealing my pickles...
