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.
- Rinse out the olives and put them in a clean jar.
- Add a somewhat generous amount of olive oil. Best you can find.
- Add salt, dried chili flakes, and oregano.
- 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.
- 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.

How long does it last, a couple of days?
-
Likely a little longer due to the acid.
