A mere 19,605 Facebook fans currently separate Nickelback from a Pickle.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Somewhere, someone out there decided that the delicious concession-stand treat could out-fan Nickelback. So far, Nickelback’s Facebook page has a fan tally of 1,412,186 and the pickle’s Facebook page fan tally is weighing in at 1,392,581.
The pickle, which now has an official Web site titled “Pickleback,” is the second food group to compete with a major musician. Another Facebook group titled “Can this onion ring get more fans than Justin Bieber?” was actually deleted by the Web site, though it’s back up and running with just under 60,000 fans. Bieber, on the other hand, has 1.7 million fans.
As a Nickelback fan, there are only two things you can do to pledge your Nickelback support: 1) Become a Nickelback fan on Facebook and 2) buy Nickelback tickets.

Nickelback just finished up their summer trek, touring with Hinder, Papa Roach and Saving Abel.
The rockers packed this tour with an interesting peek into their world - including some cover tunes (such as AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” and an acoustic set of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places,” an exciting drum solo by Daniel Adair and some nostalgic images through the eyes of the band, as well as social causes (during “If Everyone Cared”).
The band really upped the ante with this tour – expect much more from Chad Kroeger and Co. when they hit the road again!
