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

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.

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.
