Hold it, we're there. The jar neck/olive density ratio has finally reached a happy understanding and there are now a dozen undamaged olives on a plate ready to be eaten. Just a quick mop up and then I'll see if I can open a new pack of cheese without resorting to spasmodic rage and violence. When you're hungry you should just club something and eat while its still warm. Packaging? Pah!
Stilton: Sometimes packaging can suck. I've just spent the last ten minutes trying to get some black olives out of a jar with a neck only marginally wider than than a gnat's arsehole and all I've got to show for it is three olives (misshapen but edible) and a puddle of brine from all my spoon levering/flicking. They looked good in the jar, but getting the bastards out is a nightmare. Tip: shouting at food doesn't make it cooperate.
LaPtiteBete: What about throwing the jar on your wall and then pick up the olives ? It sounds like you've had a similar experience.
