Forgive us the dad joke, but for pickle lovers, this news is kind of a big dill.

San Antonio-based Tex-Mex chain Taco Cabana took to social media Thursday to unveil a new flavor in its unnecessary frozen marg lineup: dill pickle. In its Instagram post, TC proclaimed the radioactive green libation an “old April Fool’s joke” that’s bound to be “this year’s sensation!”

Here’s the backstory. On April 1, 2019, the chain facetiously posted that the pickle marg was a thing, tricking unwitting lovers of sweet-sour-salty flavors into excitement over the new menu item. Rude.
