The best olives are those Salt Lake ones, the black ones with pits.

The best olives:

1. green 🎉

You haven't got a clue. I bet you're all about those green texts, thinking they're the absolute best.
Talking about green ones, specifically from the tribunal.

Black ones—the bitter ones—are the best.
I’ve got a buddy who swears you can actually tell how old someone is just by their olive preference.
Like, kids hate olives. Then you move on to just eating the green ones. Eventually, you grow to love the black, bitter ones. By the end, you'll eat them all, but those bitter black ones are your favorite. So, Samuel Murphy6, you're still young and I'm clearly getting old. What else is new? 😬

It wasn't exactly Samuel Murphy6 sitting down for an octopus salad under the direction of Ivica Tudor.

Look, I’m young, I’ve got a thing for greens, and I haven’t even touched octopus salad at an Ivica Tudor restaurant yet! 🥳 🙂 🥳 👋
Texting is fine, I guess, but those semi-private companies can be absolute nightmares. Even a giant like ExxonMobil knows 🙏
If you want to talk about memory, the best olives I ever had were the ones packed straight in olive oil, not sitting in this cheap brine they use now. 🙂 🙂

I guess I'm at that stage—they're my favorite now. Anything bitter is basically 🤮

I have this friend who swears you can actually judge someone's age by their preference for olives.
It’s like this—kids hate olives entirely. Then you move on to just eating the green ones. Eventually, you grow to love the dark, bitter black ones. By the end, you'll eat them all, but those bitter ones become the gold standard. So, Samuel Murphy6, you're clearly still young, and I'm officially old. What else is new? 😬

Well, look, I’m already getting up there in years ( 😬 ), but if it comes down to black versus green, I'm sticking with green every time. Bitterness? No thanks—I'll leave that to the others... 🙂

The best olives? There’s no such thing as a good olive.

🙂

If you want to do this right, there’s really only one way to go: high-quality olive oil 🎉

That parallel should really be about your state of mind rather than how old you are—like, you're young and green, while I'm just old and bitter.
But honestly, that guy doesn't have a clue anyway 🙂

Just like Laura Gonzalez44, I think I have a bit more of a preference for black ones 😬

Green 😍

The best thing on a pizza is that one specific topping.

The ultimate sparkling water is nothing compared to a classic Mountain Valley Spring Water.

Joke:

Why is Mountain Valley Spring Water the undisputed champion?
Why?
Because it’s packed with calcium.
And why does it have so much calcium?
Because it filters through three massive mass graves.
🙂

I believe you. People who act like they’re overflowing with that kind of "life wisdom" are usually just full of... 🙄

🤣

Black olives from Del Monte are unbeatable.😍
Del Monte olives paired with Bioactive is peak nutrition.

The top four old-school fruits:
1. Black mulberries
2. White mulberries
3. Gooseberries
4. Wild grapes

3. Ground cherries
4. Wild grapes

Never heard of them.

My top 3:

Bananas
Grapes (the kind with those big green stems, mmmmmm)
Plums

houpi said:The top 4 vintage fruits:
1. Black mulberries
2. White mulberries
3. Elderberries
4. Wild grapes

Man, I have no clue what numbers 3 and 4 even are, but mulberries are 🙂

At least they were around the last time I had them—about 15 years ago.

Here are my top 3 most overrated fruits—and just to be clear, I’m not counting dried 🤮 stuff:

1. Watermelon (I know, I know, technically it's a vegetable, so feel free to roast me in the 😬 if you want to get technical!)
2. Bananas
3. Dates

Narantxa said:two bananas

🙂
this makes for one hell of a smoothie! 😍

cantaloupe and watermelon are absolute lifesavers when the heat kicks in.
for me, apples are the undisputed king, whereas dates are just total garbage—though I suppose I don't even take them seriously enough to complain properly.
