Rubber shortages during World War II probably put paid to this strange idea, but the taste probably didn’t help either.

Also, can you re-close this? Or do you have to eat up all the pickles right away?

I think this is one of those products, like catsup, where people buy according to a very specific idea of what the package should look like and so it never caught on.

Also, that scene from ‘The Graduate’ would have been a bit odd:

Mr. McGuire: I want to say two words to you. Just two words.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Transparent Rubber.
Benjamin: Just how do you mean that, sir?
