I have done this, and the only thing I regretted is not eating more olives.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I run out of olives, then tell myself not to do it, but still sneak a sip of juice from the jar.

"You're disgusting."

"DON'T YOU JUDGE ME, ME!"

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 year ago

Fun fact - a sip or two of pickle juice is a great cure for heartburn. I don’t even like pickles, but I’ll do it because it works.

I can’t stand olives, even more than I dislike pickles, so idk if olive juice would do the same, but it is, at least, not grosser from an objective view 😅

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Drinking pickle juice is a dangerous game. Misjudge your jar tilt and one of those slippery bois will just shoot down your gullet and shuffle you off this mortal coil in the blink of a cucumber.

Had this for dinner last night. Paired it with some tortilla chips to help round out its nutritional value. Might do it again tonight. It's called The Mediterranean Diet.

[-] Ddhuud@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It tastes like the Mediterranean too!

I don't see how this is a shitpost, it's just unironically a great thing to do.

[-] ninakuup21@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

How much did big olive pay you to say this

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 29 points 1 year ago

I'd love to eat big olive

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they're delicious, nutritious, and never go bad. Perfect for the man who does not like grocery shopping.

Are the haters imagining people eating the super-salty pimiento olives? I'm talking about the fancy olives that I, as a sophisticated and wealthy bachelor, buy per-pound from the grocery-store salad bar.

I'm not falling for this. I think I've read a greentext about doing this and the anon ended up covered in shit sobbing himself to sleep on the bathroom floor

[-] Mikekm@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

People get sick from eating olives? Man I can eat a jar of green olives, pair it with a brick of cheddar cheese and you've got yourself a meal.

That was a jar of pickles and it caused him great gastrointestinal issues that resulted in acid like bowel movement.

This reaction isn't normal though.

If you have the occasion, try a fresh olive picked from the three. You won't regret it ;)

[-] Risk@feddit.uk 21 points 1 year ago

Why not eat the other too?

Olive them.

About 3 months ago I suddenly developed an indefatigable craving for olives. Since then I've eaten about a small jar a week. IDK if I'm pregnant (seems unlikely) or if olives are just a normal part of adulthood, similar to how everyone in college eats a lot of toast on occasion.

Literally my kids everyday. They fucking LOVE olives. It’s weird. We don’t encourage it and we tell ourselves it’s a phase that will eventually wear off.

It won't. I'm in my late 30s and olives are still the fucking best thing ever.

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

In time, it will get sane. I used to drink pickle juice.

Still love pickles, but I don’t drink the brine.

Marinate them in a bit of vodka for a relaxing evening repast

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Fun fact: olives are technically fruit.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

More fun facts: tomatoes and pineapples are berries.

[-] UnknownQuantity@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Well, pineapple is a bunch of berries fused together.

Unrelated : avocado is a berry.

Yeah, ate a (large) bunch of green olives in quick succession once. Turned my stomach into Vesuvius during Pompeï's final moments.

[-] Chunk@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Sometimes when I'm backed up having a way to clear the pipes is nice. There are few things I enjoy more than a blast from the ass.

I mean, I'll happily eat 10 olives as part of a salad, or 20 straight-up as a snack. You've gotta rinse them off first, though. Also, the cheap brands are less oily and salty.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago

Rinse them? I spear them right out of the jar. I love 'em. I'll try rinsing one today to see what that's like, but I suspect the oil and salt is a big part of why I like them.

Boooo

Long live the Olive! Glory to the Olive empire!

[-] VediusPollio@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

There's a secret to liking olives. You have to keep eating them until you pass the gross-bliss barrier. I used to hate olives, but now they're like crack to me.

Today's been an enlightening day, I learned people like to eat tons of olives alone. I can't even stand them in pizza.
