Knocking on Your Car's Hood Could Save a Cat's Life This Winter

Save a Cat's Life this Winter
The Quick Pickle Kit team are avid animal lovers + members of the Estero Bay Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Our Quick Pickle Kit fans share the most amazing articles with us + we are grateful!

QuickPickleKit.com offers innovative products + is a woman-owned business who believes in giving back. We donate 10% of sales on www.QuickPickleKit.com to worthy nonprofits. If you like who we are as a company and would like to collaborate, CONTACT US.

This year is a “Big Dill” for QuickPickleKit.com as we received the 2019 US Small Business Administration (SBA) Award for supporting nonprofits, reducing food waste and providing jobs for disabled adults.

If you are a cat lover, please read this article:

Nissan Japan has created the below video to raise awareness of this serious issue, and to encourage all car owners to knock on hoods before starting up their vehicles. A simple knock on a car hood can frighten a cat into jumping out of his hiding space before the engine heats up, saving his life.

With this video, Nissan takes a fun yet vital approach at reminding viewers of how important this act is during colder weather.

So why do cats do this? The answer is simple - to stay warm. Cats are attracted to the remaining warmth of a car engine while it is cooling down from a recent trip.

It's easy for cats to climb up inside an engine and rest beneath the hood - it's sort of like their own personal heating system. The problem occurs when you come home for a short stint before heading out again and never realize that the cat is in your car engine.

So, what can you do to help prevent this tragedy? Get in the habit and knock on hoods every time you go to start up a vehicle. Next, help to spread the word about this issue.

Nissan is using the hashtag #KnockKnockCats to gain support; you can also create messaging on social media using this same hashtag.

Finally, consider sharing this video with friends and family so they know to start knocking on car hoods, too. If we all do this together, we can save cats' lives.

Quick Pickle Kit thanks SBA for the Feature Success Story on Instagram

Quick Pickle Kit + Andrea Wasko
This #smallbusiness success story is kind of a big dill because it’s National Pickle Day 😉 Andrea Wasko and Meaghan Gilbert started their woman-owned small business Connoisseur Creations in 1996. The company’s flagship product, the @quickpicklekit, uses 100 year old family recipes that allow customers to make #pickles in just a few days. Connoisseur Creations used assistance from SBA resource partner, Mission Community Services Corporation, which is a Women’s Business Center in San Luis Obispo to help them make the decision to relocate their company from the Bay Area to California’s Central Coast. The Women’s Business Center also helped connect Andrea and Meaghan to commercial kitchens, co-packers, and warehouses to support production of their products. Connoisseur Creations has strong company values with a focus on health and giving back to the community. The business provides jobs for developmentally disabled adults, and donates 10% of their gross website sales to nonprofit agencies. By collaborating with farmers and Community Supported Agriculture organizations, Connoisseur Creations is also helping reduce food waste by showing consumers how pickling preserves excess produce, and creates delicious snacks from blemished food.

Quick Pickle Kit Receives 2018 Best Of Los Osos Award



For Immediate Release
October 18, 2018
Contact Andrea Wasko 408.981.8263 cell or QuickPickleKit@gmail.com
Website http://www.QuickPickleKit.com/
Blog (quickpicklekit) Facebook (QuickPickleKit), Twitter (@QuickPickleKit), Instagram (@QuickPickleKit), Pinterest (QuickPickleKit), LinkedIn (quickpicklekit) and Etsy (QuickPickle)

Quick Pickle Kit Receives 2018 Best Of Los Osos Award 
Los Osos Award Program Honors The Quick Pickle Kit’s Achievements 

LOS OSOS -- The 2018 Best of Los Osos Award in the Food Products Supplier category is awarded to the Quick Pickle Kit. Each year, this award is presented to a local company that enhances the positive image of small business through service to their customers and to their community. The Quick Pickle Kit is a great example of social entrepreneurship and willingness to give back. 

The Quick Pickle Kit is a safe, quick, simple and natural way to make pickles that are ready to enjoy in just a few days. You can pickle any vegetable! Pickles made with the Quick Pickle Kit are a healthy, low-sodium, low-calorie, crunchy and satiating snack. Andrea Wasko and Meaghan Gilbert, who have been developing and launching new products for over 30 years at companies including Apple Computer, Boston Scientific, Cisco Systems and Eli Lilly, developed this innovative product. They utilized Georgianna’s (Andrea’s Mother who lives in Hermitage, PA) recipes that have been in the family for over 100 years. “I started canning vegetables at a young age with my Mother in Pennsylvania. She always stressed the importance of not wasting food and referred to people around the world who didn’t have enough food. She must have learned this concept from her grandparents, who were immigrants from Eastern Europe. When the garden was ready, we had an overabundance of vegetables that needed to be enjoyed or preserved. We canned the vegetables before they went bad and stored them in the fruit cellar for months until they were ready,” states Wasko

Once Andrea made her home in California, she looked for pickles that were crispy, not too salty or vinegary and great tasting. She couldn’t find any and her busy schedule rarely left her with time to make pickles using traditional laborious canning methods. Determined to enjoy pickles, she developed the Quick Pickle Kit. Their FDA-approved process for safety yields great tasting crunchy pickles in a fraction of the time and with minimal effort. Pickling with the Quick Pickle Kit is a perfect way to reduce food waste and first time picklers will find this kit easy to use. 

The Quick Pickle Kit contains a reusable 2L (1/2 gal) sealing European glass jar, a 44-page recipe/instructional book, a reusable gasket and three premeasured packets of seasonings. Our products make great gifts for people who like to pickle or can, cook, the DIYer, vegetarian, vegan, dieter, snacker and gardener. Unique gift for wedding, housewarming, hostess, holiday and a fun activity the family can do together. 

Nonprofits and schools can now utilize the Quick Pickle Kit and Spice Packets as a healthy fundraising tool. The Quick Pickle Kit team is proud to have their products assembled by adults with disabilities. Contact Quick Pickle Kit to collaborate to fundraise and/or reduce food waste. Thank you for your support!
