      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!”

        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 😅

    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.

      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.

          Maybe your stomachs still work properly. The other day I had a slice of cake and I swear I had to rush to the toilet before I had even finished it. I cannot understand how that’s physically possible.

        Olives are toxic until they’ve been brined. Those sort of discoveries always make me wonder… who figured out that immersing them in salt water for a month would make them edible without making you sick?

        I’ve found my people. Think I’ll go indulge in a brick of cheddar right now. The concrete that I have to pass tomorrow will be … well … tomorrow’s problem.

      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.

      Even just eating like 5 olives makes things extra smooth down the line >.>

      …i just ate eight flavor grenade pluots for dinner about two hours ago, crunchy, green, and tart: the flavor part was absolutely true but as i’m sitting down to type this i suddenly realise that the grenade part was, too…

    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.

      My mother tells me my uncle would eat nothing but olives for about a year when he was a toddler. He threw a massive fit if they tried to feed him anything else.

      I’m 23 now and olives are still hard drugs to me, once I get started I want to eat the entire stash

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

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

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

    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.

      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.

        Here’s something else to try.

        1. Rinse out the olives and put them in a clean jar.

        2. Add a somewhat generous amount of olive oil. Best you can find.

        3. Add salt, dried chili flakes, and oregano.

        4. Squeeze like half a lemon in the jar. Cut a few thin slices off the other half, cut them in quarters and drop them in as well.

        5. Vigorously shake the jar so all the olives are coated nicely in the spicy lemony oil.

        I always have a jar of this in my fridge. God tier stuff, once you’ve got the mix right in steps 3 and 4.
