I used to believe that the stuffed green olives happened in this way: At the canning warehouse, women stood at their tables opposite of the red pimento. The green olives were lined up in front of the workers who coaxed with bended finger, "Come one, little pimento, crawl into this lovely olive!" whereby the obedient pimento snuggled right inside the olive and was promptly gathered into jars for packing. lol
