Singer and actress Hilary Duff has such a passion for eating pickles, her friends have named her after the tangy treat.

The SO YESTERDAY singer, who once dated teen heart-throb Aaron Carter, admits she and her older sister HAYLIE enjoy indulging in pickles more than anything else when they need a snack.

She says, "One of my friends calls me Pickle. I like dill pickles, the Kosher kind...

"On the tour bus (my sister and I) have pickles in our refrigerator and we'll just like wrap a paper towel around it and we'll eat big pickles.

"We love them. We could probably kill a whole jar, my sister and I together."
