     While supplies last, Del Monte(R) is offering a colorful, kid-friendly
 "Pickle Poster" featuring the Pickleman exercising and studying. The poster
 offers parents ideas on how to incorporate pickles into simple, taste-bud
 tempting, kid-pleasin' recipes and creative tips on how pickles can be used
 in the kitchen. Each poster includes five perforated recipe cards, one 4x6
 photo frame and three magnets of the Pickleman as himself, a chef and
 dressed as Aristotle. The poster also has facts on the benefits of eating
 pickles, as well as some interesting pickle history. Did you know that
 pickles helped prevent scurvy outbreaks on Christopher Columbus' historic
 voyage to America?
     "The poster makes snack time healthier and more fun for kids and is a
 helpful resource for parents," said Jeff Tuttle, chief marketing officer at
 M.A. Gedney Company, producer and marketer of Del Monte(R) pickles. "As a
 parent of young ones, I know it can be challenging to come up with
 interesting and tasty ways to provide healthy food choices for kids. Del
 Monte(R) is hoping this poster makes that process a little easier."
