Carnival pickle king narrative unfolds from @grillospickles

The creator goes to a carnival with a jar of Grillo's Pickles, finds a young man who loves them, and crowns him the 'Pickle King.' After the king finishes the jar, the creator finds a challenger, the 'Pickle Usurper,' who also eats many pickles. The creator then finds the original Pickle King, shows him the video of the challenger, and the king accepts a duel, reasserting his status in front of a crowd.
