Nickelback Vs. a Pickle: Latest Facebook Meme Asks the Tough Questions
Because these are the kinds of things that curious minds ponder, we're sure you've spent many a wee hour asking yourself if Nickelback sucks and how they could've ever accrued over 1 million fans on Facebook. That's twice the size of Boston, for Scott Stapp's sake! Well, the citizens of Facebook have heard your cry of confusion, and they've devised a brand new meme to finally answer the question, once and for all -- random object by random object. Because doppelgangers are sooo last week, the newest trend to take over Facebook mini-feeds has users asking each other questions like: "Is nondescript, everyday household item 'x' more popular than inexplicably popular public figure 'y'?" As Mashable reports, the latest victim is Justin Bieber, pop singer extraordinaire. According to a recently created fan page, Bieber is less popular than your average onion ring (although, considering how delicious onion rings are, that may not have been a very fair fight). The Bieber v. Onion Ring online tribunal page was created at the beginning of the month, and, before you start feeling sorry for the 16-year-old, you should know that he may stand to make some cash off of his popular unpopularity; several businesses have reportedly approached him about advertising on the platform.
Similar sites have already been set up to take aim at other polarizing pop culture figures, like Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper (who, by the way, also lost to this apparently unbeatable onion ring). As for Nickelback? Well, they're still pretty far ahead of their dill pickle opponent. We'd like to see them take on someone their own size, though -- someone like the onion ring. [From: Mashable]

Maybe...a little. But THEY are definitely getting dumber.

I joined that group about the Onion ring! Im glad Justin Bieber might make some cha-ching off of it because I feel kinda bad for him.

Nickelback sounds like every band out there, same scratch whiny voice. Calling that rock is offensive to an actual rock band.
actorkentmFeb 9th 2010 9:14PM
Youre right , they shouldve been compared to Mushrooms. Oh , and nice screename - Loser.
kruthsmithFeb 9th 2010 7:37PM
actorken??
Don't be so mean to mushrooms!
SnowyFeb 10th 2010 6:27AM
^5 they have flipped!

The pickle wins, hands-down.
That's the best group I've ever seen on Facebook. Hilarious AND true!

this is mainly just my own personal opinion, but nickelback is a terrible band. the way the lead singer makes his voice sound is just awful. and the lyrics? barf. i love rock and all other types of music, really, but nickelback is just something i can't swallow and, quite frankly, i don't know how anyone who has an ear for music could stand it. again, just my PERSONAL OPINION, but whenever i'm in a goodwill and i hear him vomit out "look at this photograph" over the radio i just want to burst into tears out of sheer agony. opinion. no offense to anyone who actually likes nickelback. having said that, i really think all the "trends" or fads or whatever on facebook are so stupid. who cares whether or not a certain person or band is better or worse than a pickle or an onion ring? although if presented with the real choice i would choose pickle over and over again as long as i wouldn't have to hear nickelback ever.
SteveFeb 9th 2010 5:50PM
I hear Nickleback is opening for the pickle in a few nights...

I LOVE NICKLEBACK!!!!!!!!!! i really want to see one of his concerts! =D

After 40 years, Led Zeppelin is still on the radio, and Hendrix still sells about 900,000 albums each year. Check back in 40 years and see if anyone knows who Nickleback was. They have about as much talent as a small pile of lint.
cooktidbit1Feb 9th 2010 9:30PM
UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Do you think all mockers could be related to the bird family ?
cathie cafferataFeb 10th 2010 11:05AM
Nickleback is a very good rock band. The may not be the best band ever, but they have certainly put out very popular mainstream rock and have sold millions of albums over the past several years. They are many more "suckier" bands out there ... and dont get my started on the rap crap -- now that sh*t is worse then any dried up moldy old pickle w/onion rings!!
LittleLamb1999Feb 9th 2010 10:41PM
I don't exactly hate Nickelback but I am getting a bit tired of the songs sounding the same and he's not even singing, he's screaming. Every time a song comes on I ask myself why Chad Kroeger is scream-singing? I don't get it.
jeffspinnin24Feb 9th 2010 10:59PM
love nickelback, best rock band in ages
