Olives are the best
Change my mind

Olives killed my family

Sleezy_Salesman ,

Your family probably deserved it.

I hate them and agree, my wife loves them and 100% disagrees. She once had her olive privileges rescinded at a local bar.

HowlsSophie ,

Love them. Just the thought of them makes me salivate. Prefer kalamata but green are perfectly fine "daily drivers". Won't touch black ones.

TrickDacy ,

The correct set of opinions ^

Olives are pretty great. Like the green ones more than then darker ones.

Love them. Especially the green ines. Sometimes i oick up a jar as a mivie snack.

EDIT: No edits! It stays as it stands!

I'm picturing you trying to type this with a green olive stuck on the tip of each of your fingers.

Let's say this is the truth, otherwise I'd have no excuse for being such a shitty writer when on my phone.

No, I do not like olives. I can enjoy them in some dishes, but those are few and far between.

Even the smell of Olives causes me to gag. I absolutely cannot eat them. Olive oil is fine. But actual olives, no. Doesn't matter if they're old, new, canned, fresh. They're absolutely disgusting. One of the few foods I outright cannot and will not eat.

Yeah, I like to eat them occasionally. I recently bought a little snack pack of them to eat on a plane trip. I ended up not eating them bc the lady next to me politely asked me not to due to her sensitivity to the smell and already growing motion sickness.

So curious about the olive-dislikers in this thread:

Does the smell of olives bother you?

TheBananaKing ,

Love them to bits. They are the best.

... just get the nice marinated deli ones, not the disgusting chalky-felty sliced O-rings you get in jars.

There's no comparing the two. If all you've tried is those little abominations, I can't blame you in the slightest for hating them.

Please try the good ones.

Bongo_Stryker ,

You are wrong. Olives are great.

Whirlygirl9 ,

Love all olives!

This might as well be heaven for me.

TrickDacy ,

You haven't specified what types you've tried so I have a feeling you've a shaky basis for disliking them

Theharpyeagle ,

I realize now that I've only tried black and green olives, I wonder what worlds of flavor I'm missing out on.

Also unrelated, but as a kid I thought olives just naturally had pimentos in them.

TrickDacy ,

Kalamata! The best, according to me and several others in this thread.

FanciestPants ,

Maybe the best fruit

UmeU ,

This isn’t worth dying over, and olives are great so just relax a little bit.
