No, there is no law in Georgia making your pickle illegal. The title likely references urban legends or mix-ups with other states’ myths, like Connecticut’s debunked “bouncing pickle” test from a 1940s inspection anecdote.​
Notable Georgia Food Laws
Georgia features quirky local ordinances rather than statewide pickle bans. In Gainesville, known as the Poultry Capital of the World, eating fried chicken with a fork is technically illegal, stemming from a 1961 publicity stunt.​
Pickle Regulations
Georgia regulates pickled foods through cottage food rules and food safety standards. Low-acid pickled products (pH 4.6 or lower) can be sold under cottage food exemptions without a full license, following good manufacturing practices.​
Other Bizarre Rules
- No tying giraffes to telephone poles in Atlanta.​
- All Acworth citizens must own a rake.​
These outdated laws rarely see enforcement today.​
