Pamela Anderson's $38 Pickles Include This 1 Surprising Ingredient originally appeared on Parade.
Pamela Anderson has been everywhere lately. She just hit the red carpet for The Naked Gun reboot premiere, drew headlines for her bare-faced beauty, and has fans swooning over her new connection with costar Liam Neeson.
Now, she's in the news again—for pickles. But not just any pickles. These $38 jars come with one surprising ingredient you probably didn't see coming: dried rose petals.
'Roses make everything better,' the 58-year-old Baywatch alum told Elle Decor in an interview published Sunday, August 10. 'Food grade, of course. I put them in my spaghetti sauce and use them for tea. They have many benefits.'
Scientific studies back that up—rose petals are packed with antioxidants like flavonoids, tannins, and polyphenols, which may help with inflammation, digestion, skin health, and even stress relief.

The pickles—officially called 'Pamela's Pickles'—are a limited-edition collab with Los Angeles lifestyle brand Flamingo Estate. They're based on an award-winning family recipe from Anderson's great-aunt Vie.
'She was an award-winning pickler and canner, a great cook, and such a joy to be around,' Anderson said. 'She was bedazzled from head to toe and danced in the kitchen in high heels while spiking your coffee with Kahlua. She wrote a book, From Pickles to Pearls. This is legit!'
The Last Showgirl star lived with her aunt after high school, where she learned to pickle, can, and make jams and mustards. The base of her aunt's recipe—dill, mustard, and garlic—now gets an upgrade with Flamingo Estate's pink peppercorns, guajillo chile, smoky sea salt, and Anderson's signature dried rose petals.
Flamingo Estate called the product 'the most delicious pickles we've ever tasted' in their launch announcement, adding, 'When Pamela Anderson calls with an idea, the answer is always a resounding YES.'

Every jar is made with all-organic ingredients, and 100% of proceeds benefit the California Wildlife Center—a nonprofit veterinary hospital that rescues and rehabilitates native wild animals. It's a cause Anderson has been involved with for nearly 30 years.
'My boys and I spent countless hours volunteering there and have raised money [over the years] through multiple lemonade stands,' she said. 'It's so important to protect our wildlife.' (Anderson is mom to two sons—Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27—both of whom she shares with her ex-husband, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.)
The blonde bombshell first teased the idea months ago. In February, during an appearance on British daytime show This Morning, she told host Alison Hammond, 'I'm a pickler! I come from a long line of picklers… I am doing something possibly called Pamela's Pickles. I'm going to sell pickles!'
Pamela's Pickles are available exclusively through Flamingo Estate's website, with orders shipping starting August 18.

Why So Many Southerners Go By Their Middle Names

We asked our readers to help demystify this unique tradition. We recently shared a story about double-name rules that every Southerner should know (namely, never shorten or abbreviate one without express permission), and the comments went wild. It turns out lots of y'all have double names and were glad to see us advocating for the Mary Jos and Patty Anns of the world. But there was another camp in the comment section requesting some overdue acknowledgement as well: 'Can you do a post about middle-name-ers too?' We aim to please, so here's a little love for the Middle Name Crowd (which includes actress Reese Witherspoon). We tip our hats to all y'all—and your neglected first names too. Why Some Southerners Go By Their Middle Names We turned to our Facebook audience to get to the bottom of the unique tradition, asking, 'Are you a Southerner who goes by their middle name? Tell us the story behind your moniker!' We got nearly 250 comments, which shed a bit more light on the sometimes sticky situation. To Avoid Confusion For many parents naming their children, going by the middle name is a matter of practicality—and avoiding a case of mistaken identity. Wrote one Southern Living reader, 'My dad, grandfather, and great-grandfather all had the same first name. They all went by their middle names.' Imagine the confusion if you called for Earl and three people answered you! To Honor A Loved One A handful of readers noted that they went by their second name because it once belonged to a treasured family member or friend. That's the case for Southern Living's very own Editor in Chief, Sid Evans. 'I'm a Jr., so I have my father's name, but he wanted to call me Sid after a beloved uncle,' he says. To Help the Flow Sometimes, it's a simple matter of what sounds better. 'Myself and my 3 oldest siblings all go by our middle names,' wrote another reader. 'Our names just are easier on the ear in the order our parents placed them. But they got smart on kid #5 and went with calling him by his first name as it sounds better that way too!' To Make the Most of a Moniker You've got to work with what you've got. Joked one reader, who punctuated her comment with a laughing emoji, 'Although I'm not real keen on my middle name, which I go by, I dislike my first name even more! I guess it's the lesser of two evils!!' The Downside of Going By Your Middle Name While there are plenty of practical and heartwarming reasons for a parent to call their child by a middle name, lots of commenters who go by their middle names were very vocal about the pain points that often accompany the practice. 'Named after my mom, so to avoid confusion, I go by my middle name, which causes all kinds of legal issues,' wrote one reader. 'If you're an expecting parent, don't name your child one name and call him/her by their middle. It truly is a huge hassle.' Another wrote, 'All of my financial, business, medical, passport/ID have my first name. Such a pain.' There were so many similar comments about the legal and everyday frustrations associated with the tradition that one reader took it upon himself to sum things up: 'Long story short… it's a curse to go by your middle name.' Even so, other middle name-ers, like Sid, take it in stride: 'For airlines, credit card companies, hotels, etc., I just let them call me John.'
