Gedney Pickle Company is still in business, you can search for their web site if you wish. The gentleman appearing here, Gedney Tuttle grandson of the company's founder, ran the company from the late Sixties until the early Nineties. The company went Chap. 11 in 2002 and emerged in 2004, but with non-family members running it for the first time in its history.
Isn't that one of those things where it depends whether you're talking botanically or in terms of nutritional content? I always understood that tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, etc. were the fruit of the plant botanically speaking, but had nutrients associated with vegetables.
I agree... while they may be fruits in a botanical sense, they are not eaten as fruits. No one would ever put them in a fruit salad, or blend them in a summer smoothie.
Same thing with peanuts... they are not really nuts, but they're eaten as nuts.
Thanx for posting this classic game from early 1960. I sometimes show this clip to my college English students to remind them how badly research can go wrong. Notice that panelists keep getting yes answers, and they figure out its a vegetable, and yet it grinds to a halt and falls apart right in front of our eyes.
If I thought awhile, I could probably remember another game that went this badly on so many levels -- but not many. I bet Franklin Heller nearly flipped the censor switch on this one.
Daly has two bouts of nausea. Cerf gets rude with Daly. Tuttle and Daly get into an "discussion" over semantics. The definitions get overly complex, and no one on that high-priced panel remembers pickles are a green vegetable.
People usually find pickles funny in a Freudian way. This is funny strange.
Dorothy was very sharp here. Seriously impressed by her questioning.

"Is it something I might have out, showing, when I have guests?" LOL
"Would it be dipped in butter or served with butter sauce" Daly's reaction to that, ha ha

Arlene has to be one of the funniest people who has ever lived ... "I show quite a lot of things when I have guests"

A pickle isn't a manufactured product? How does the cucumber get pickled then?

lmao Arlene: is it leafy rather than beany
I wonder with not being on the show if Dorothy and the panel talked like they do here in real life. Or just on the show maybe talk this proper.
I never heard Dorothy giggle soo much, she's too cute and has the cutest giggle..lol

2:34 Mr. Tuttle is wrong. Cucumbers are FRUITS, not vegetables.

Interesting. I teach English comp at Bennett's alma mater, Columbia Univ. I might follow your lead next fall when I cover research-based inquiry.
