My love of sandwiches is no secret.

I've written about some of my favorite sandwich shops on numerous occasions and I consider myself a bit of a local sandwich expert. One of my favorite places in Billings to get a delicious, freshly made sandwich is Chalet Market. Working downtown, I usually visit their new-ish second location in the basement of the First Interstate Tower. The longtime Billings deli and gift shop recently helped make a local man's birthday extra special. Here's how...

Birthdays and puns are so much fun.

Everybody loves their birthday and many people - this author included - appreciate a good pun. Billings resident Jacque W. loves both. According to a fun post he shared this week on the Billings Customer Service Group Facebook page, his out-of-state brother helped coordinate a very pun-filled delivery for his 35th birthday. Jacque wrote,

So I have to give a huge shout out to Chalet Market for allowing my brother to send a funny present for my birthday today. He’s in Chicago, but knows I like puns. So he ordered 35 pickles to be sent to my office, to tell me I’m a big dill.

35 individually wrapped packages arrived.

Ah, hahaha. A "Big Dill!" Classic pun. Classic prank. Jacque said in his post that he really appreciated the sandwich shop's assistance in creating and delivering the pun-filled birthday gift. In the Comments on his post, fans of Chalet Market shared praise for the locally-owned shop.

People love pickles.

According to data compiled by Zippia.com, Americans consume over 20 billion pickles per year and the global pickle market was worth over $11 billion in 2021. Residents of Maine reportedly eat the most pickles each year, while Montana ranked 12th in the nation for pickle consumption. Are you a pickle-lover?
