Not a big fan of olives myself, but I usually pick up a jar or two when I’m in Italy to stock up on grappa.
I don’t mind an olive, tasty to munch on (though to be fair, I’m not much of a martini/kangaroo drinker) but there’s few things nastier than a martini with a cloud of dissolving blue cheese making it all murky as it leaks out of an olive. And I like blue cheese!

Please tell me no one actually makes a Martini with stuffed olives…especially cheese stuffed ones.
Please…?

It was a huge trend for a long while. Around the same time as neon “martinis” in a rainbow of artificial colors and dirty martinis were the hottest thing going. Enough so that the bar/mixer section of most supermarkets still carry them. I can see a few of the stuffed olives working. Particularly garlic stuffed olives (though just a clove of pickled garlic is a better idea).
But the blue cheese, prosciutto, And others are a disaster. Especially the cheese ones. The blue cheese typically dissolves into the drink. Leaving you drinking a slick of slightly chunky cheese vodka at the bottom of the glass.
It even looks like vomit.
