It is unlawful to throw discarded pickle juice onto the trolley tracks.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

Knoxville once boasted a bustling electric streetcar system, and apparently, deli owners had a bad habit of dumping their brine in the streets. This municipal law was enacted because the acidic pickle juice was believed to corrode the iron tracks and damage the trolleys' electrical systems. The trolleys are mostly gone, but the law remains a humorous piece of local history.
