Whoa whoa, hang on a sec. When I pierce the olive, I eat it WITHOUT putting it in my mouth? Why am I surrounded by hundreds of pierced olives but I’m still hungry?

Time for Plan B.

Zero mention of putting the olives on your fingertips, doing jazz hands to ensure everyone sees what you have done and then eating them?

This is so confusing, I don’t have any toothpicks so I must use a fork according to this, what am I supposed to do once I put the olive into my mouth? Just leave it there?

this is like some beauty pageant answer to things.

maybe not the winnable answer but still an answer.
