On a serious note (believe it or not), the acting of Hope Summers as Clara Johnson in this episode is fantastic. The scene where she opens up to Andy about why this pickle contest means so much to her is beautiful, and one of my favorites in the whole run of the show. Very touching.

You know what would have been a more amusing ending? If Aunt Bee somehow found out (maybe from Opie) about the pickle switch and after mentioning the 16 jars, she adds "Maybe next time you don't like what I make, you'll tell the truth".

AG and DK used to call FB the Marlboro Man, because she was a heavy smoker. Could you imagine Aunt Bee as the Marlboro Man? It's hard to imagine. FB went from Broadway to Mayberry and it was a difficult transition. There was immense tension on that set, as FB didn't particularly care for her co-stars, or their sense of humor. She considered herself a consummate professional among amateurs.

@@rotunda57that was the first time she made them. Then (and I forget exactly how this went), she made her pickles for the fair, but she wouldn’t win, so they were replaced with pickles from the store. Then Clara (insert last name here) went on about how much it meant to her and her late husband to win the ribbon, so Andy and Barney figured they couldn’t have Bea win in bad faith. So they had to get rid of those pickles too, so Bea would have to make even more Kerosene Cucumbers. Those are the ones appearing at the fair.
