This is one of those enduring memes that just won't die. I cannot find a Connecticut state statute, bill or regulation that states that pickles need to bounce. I did find an article in the Hartford Courant where two men were arrested for trying to sell vats of rancid, maggoty pickles. The then Connecticut Commissioner for Food and Drugs commented that one test for pickle quality was to drop one from a height of one foot. If it squashed, it was bad; if it bounced, it was good. (smell would be my first test.) Sure enough, in 1949, the first of many books on silly and outdated laws came out that included the bouncing pickle law.
