Pickleball Pitch-Vlasic Dinks a Deal

In the brand deal of the century Vlasic Pickles is set to host the first U.S. Pickleball Open Tournament.  The tournament will be held in Seattle, the alleged birthplace of the massively popular sport that has swept the nation and swept away tennis court lines on most city parks. 

Vlasic is reportedly extremely excited. 

Spokesman Dill Gherkin, explained to us just how they were able to land this record marketing deal.  “It was all perfect,” he says, “the deal came about at his local suburban neighborhood clubhouse, and apparently all he had to do was ask.  “I simply said hey, can we sponsor your world championship Pickleball game, and against all odds, they said yes.” 

Dill assured us that despite some negative press alleging the contrary, the US National Pickleball Team, really does play at his local neighborhood clubhouse.  “Trust me, these guys are good, their dinks are incredible, and their donks are unbelievable, these guys are the best.” 

The seniors club down the street, however, alleges they beat the Gherkin club just two weeks ago in a scrimmage match. 

Regardless of who’s right, the U.S. Open Pickle Jar, is fixing up to have some crunch to it, even if there might be some sour moments.
