My heart ain't in this

Warning: Spoilers
Barney tells Andy as they must eat eight quarts of the store bought pickles to replace Aunt Bee's kerosene cucumbers. But in Andy's words it's not so much your heart we need it's your stomach.

They switch out the pickles because unlike what most of what Aunt Bee's makes they are awful. Problem is because the store bought pickles taste so good Aunt Bee decides to enter them into the pickle contest. Could she win with these ? Is it unfair especially to Clara ( Bee's friend and sometimes irritant and rival? Clara it seems lives for this contest and has won eleven years in a row.

They eat all the pickles and Aunt Bee makes her own and Clara wins blue ribbon number twelve.

Aunt Bee has doubled the batch so it's time to accept it and learn to love them!

I always wondered how bad they could have been?! I always imagined they tasted like the generic brand my dad would buy . Yuck ! A good pickle though is hard to beat!

As for Andy not being honest it's not the first or last time he did such things. Without going into it as it would ruin a number of plots in various episodes it wasn't an unusual thing for Andy to do.
