According to local sandwich blog breadxbread (which we came across at Mission Mission), somebody stole Mr. Pickle, the beloved Latino, mustard- and mayo-carrying pickle mascot over at Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop on 20th Street.

For now, let's place the blame on anti-chain elitists.

Breadxbread calmly describes what went down.

you barbarians! you monsters!! there is no punishment severe enough for the atrocity you have committed! this is like the time hitler killed buddy holly, richie valens and the big bopper at pearl harbor on 9/11.... TIMES A MILLION. whoever stole mr. pickle, you sicken me. i hope when the police finally corner you and lock you away for the rest of your miserable life, that your every waking moment is haunted by the look of innocent joy on mr. pickle's face. a look that you have stolen from all of us.

But! As you can tell from the image above, Mr. Pickle is kind of awesome and very much swipeable. He's second only to Jollibee's mascot, which is much to heavy to roll away when you stumble home drunk one night on Fourth Street, and think to yourself, "I really need an oversized, red, Filipino-concocted, ceramic bumble bee in my living room. Now."
