I think it had to be a fake. Maury has sunk even deeper into stupidity over the years and this one is right up there for most retarded. Still funny as Hell to watch.

LOL. Seriously...how is this possible...Im thinking the exact same!! Why is she scared of pickles!?!?! They don't move....They don't bite...Theyre harmless!!! Why is she scared of them!?!? Is it a joke?

Just a thought that came to mind, that could actually be the reason why she has the fear. Like she was raped with it or something when she was a kid. But that is just a random, out of left field idea that i'm sure has about a 0.00001% chance of being true However, that is some of the funniest shit I have ever seen and you know those pickle plant employees were laughing their asses off at her once she left. Although I can sympathize with her somewhat, I work at Disneyland and they sell these huge pickles and you can smell them 100 feet away and it's disgusting (if, like me, you dont like pickles that is)

I could understand if they made her feel sick or if she didn't like touching them but being afraid to get within a few metres of them I don't quite get.

The whole show is a joke. This just another example of the quality programming we have here in the United States, The Maury Show. Tune in again for the segment on teen paternity tests.

I wonder if some people might be fearful of pickles for the same psychological reason that some may be afraid of snakes or other things that look like a phallus.
Snakes, of course, can be venomous and constrictive, and legitimately feared for those reasons. Pickles, I'm not so sure.
However, exposure to trauma, whether in childhood or not, whether intentional or not, and whether consciously remembered or not, could play a part in what may seem to be irrational fears.
