It’s a David-and-Goliath tale of refreshingly zesty and kosher proportions.

An enterprising young lady named Coral Cripps has created an amazingly viral movement-within-a-Facebook-page dedicated to answering the question Can This Pickle Get More Fans than Nickleback? (As you’ll find if you dig back a few days’ worth of entries, the band’s name is misspelled intentionally due to Facebook copyright policies.)

And chances look good for the dill one. Since appearing on February 3, the courageous cucumber has amassed nearly a quarter of a million fans.

But, Cripps quips, “Currently Nickelback has 1,380,820 fans. Can this dill pickle tickle your fancy and get more?”

So far, it’s tickled more people’s fancies than other Nickelback-hater groups, such as Not Listening to Nickelback (183,195 fans) and I Bet I Can Find 169,000 People Who Hate Nickelback (126,178 — alas!).

And it’s easy to see why it’s trouncing those other groups. Rather than just giving people something to hate, it’s giving them something to love.

A pickle!
