Unless you love pickles, the fact November 14 is National Pickle Day may have slipped past your radar.

Yes, it's a thing.

National Pickle Day was created to celebrate one of the world's favorite fermented food.

According to National Today, pickles are so unbelievably popular across the country, that "the number of pickle-eaters is projected to proliferate to more than 250 million by 2023."

To make sure pickles were given the respect they deserved, actor Matthew McConaughey honored his favorite snack with a throwback photo on Instagram.

The pic was of himself holding a jar of pickles in front of an open refrigerator, crouching in the buff.

The caption for the delicious post simply read, "pickled," accompanied by the hashtag, #nationalpickleday.

Without further ado, here is naked Matthew McConaughey holding pickles.

So why would McConaughey give pickles so much love?

Well, according to his Instagram bio, the Dazed and Confused actor is a self-ascribed "Pickle Expert.

See?

Interestingly, however, social media users who also saw the post on Twitter focused on some of the more obscure elements in the photo like the condiments inside the fridge.
