It could be a hamburger fried with a little pickle juice poured in the pan. We had it occasionally when I was a kid. It adds the flavor of the pickle throughout the hamburger. Surprisingly, the pickle flavor isn’t very strong.
I googled it and found various things called a pickle burger.
Pickle juice or chopped pickles mixed into the meat, slices laid into the pan before the raw burger was placed on top.
But since that looks like a hot dog bun, it may be what I saw in two videos…. The patty was formed around a lengthwise slice of pickle, which makes a longer, narrower burger that you serve in a hot dog bun.
I don’t think I’d like pickle in the middle of my burger patty, but some people do.
I meant to say I was glad when I found out this was 1957, and not bad costuming from a movie about the 1920s.
Movies from the 1960s, even 70s, about “Roaring 20s” flappers and gangsters so often get the costumes so completely wrong.
In 1957, though, several designers, including Dior, showed what was called in English the “sack dress”, straight up and down… the woman in this picture is wearing a fashionably loose fitted dress, not really straight, but it gives some hints of the 20s.
Surprise twist…. the DISCOVR spacecraft’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) ran out of giant film, and there are no drug stores in space….
The astronauts’ cell phone cameras aren’t powerful enough to take pictures of earth, but the crew used one of them to take a picture inside the capsule, of a Brunswick bowling ball, with a grapefruit.
I may have been slightly facetious about the bowling ball…
But I was actually telling the truth about where the picture came from.
Info from NASA, which I edited for length:
It’s from the DSCOVR spacecraft, which orbits about a million miles from Earth in a location called Lagrange point 1, hovering between the Sun and our Earth.
Its Earth facing EPIC camera takes a new picture every two hours, and captures images of solar eclipses, and of the Moon as it passes between DSCOVR and Earth.
This image became well known at the time, 2015, for being one of the first published pictures of the dark side of the moon.
I remember the ones that used dimes instead of quarters. I also remember that you could use the one at school without quarters. Pick up the receiver, tap out the number on the hang-up switch and it’d dial right through. The rotary dial works by creating a pattern of switched “breaks” in the signal, matching the digit dialed (sounded like clicks when you dialed). If you replicate that with the other switch, it didn’t know the difference. The coin drop on the one at school merely activated the dialer, the signal was always live. I bet they figured that out eventually, and/or the newer touchpad phones had wiring that was different.
Touchpad phones use dual frequency tones to send the number. The sound a cell phone makes simulates that, but it’s only for the person to know that different buttons were pushed. The cell phone actually uses binary code. It’s similar to the “clicking” sound the phone makes when taking a picture. People are used to the shutter opening and closing sound from physical cameras, so phones make that sound to let the human know a picture was taken.
In the 70s, maybe well into the 80s, as tone dialing became available in different areas, it often cost a bit extra on your monthly bill, and it wouldn’t work with existing rotary phones.
Many people kept rotary access, called “pulse” dialing, to avoid having to buy new phones, or to save money on service. Some, in fact, still rented rotary phones for a nominal price from the phone company, and resented have to buy their own equipment.
When you did buy a new phone, most were pushbutton, but a lot of them had a switch to select “tone” or “pulse” dialing.
Pulse dialing made clicks to simulate those made by a rotary dial… like the switch at D B.’s free school phone… in case you were still on a pulse line.
Tone worked on newer lines… But you could also switch over to tones to operate the new connections and services popping up that required you to “press 1” for this and “press 3, or 6, or whatever” for something else.
That sort of service is ibiquitous now that all phones work on tones…. but a lot of people couldn’t access them at first

Oooh…. maybe it’s means I’m forced to try the big chocolate chip cookie in the Costco food court…. I’ve rejected it since it arrived because it costs $2.50, which is too much for a cookie…
but you know, it’s cheaper than those fancy cookie shops like Crumble. And it’s an official holiday, right?

What is a pickle hamburger?
It could be that you don’t really want to know it!!!
Ooh – Ooh – I think I got it…
The “pickle” refers to the shape of the ground beef. They made a log-roll shape and put it in a hot dog bun.
So “log roll hamburger” would have made more sense.

It’s TRUE! I saw it on the internet!
It was lucky they just happened to have a bowling ball ad a grapefruit on board!
So very lucky!
Obviously fake.
To light the Earth like that, the Sun has to be behind the photographer.
But then, the Moon would have to be lit the same way.
It’s from NASA.
It could have been taken from one of the sunward probes is it was headed towards Venus, Mercury or the Sun.

I vote for beer.
You can have mine, but I’ll still pass on the civil war.
LOL…. It must have to do with ending prohibition before there was open rebellion.
I remember posting a picture of a huge parade of men demanding beer.
This is October 1932, and Repeal was in early 1933.

I was really bleary-eyed last night, after a week of days above 90°… I couldn’t see the men clearly, and I thought it said “Jews”.
I was startled… the moment it started to play, I realized my mistake, but it sure was shocking till then!
Glad I wasn’t alone misreading JAWS.

I wonder which one of them felt more trapped in that small space. Good thing the leopard was able to get out.

Good question.

Dipper.
I’ve always liked today’s illustration… It’s not a movie poster, but the frontispiece to a 19th century book of fairy tales.
Rapupzel was so lovely, with those incredibly long silky ears.
No wonder the handsome prince was enamored.
Which would hurt worse, ears or hair being pulled on?
Scary enough…
I’d think for us, and for earthly dogs, ears… but don’t forget that Rapupzel’s confinement and rescue were both magical.
I’m pretty sure the magical components, including growing 30 foot ears, outweighed the earthly, so we can’t compare her experiences with ours.
You have to trust in fairies!
