Do you want the real answer or something humorous?

Jars are reusable and therefore better for the environment and thus preferred by green olives?

Good one.

So why don't they just pack the black ones in jars and make everything olive equal.

No, I use pepper vodka - usually Absolut Peppar. If I don't have that on hand, I pour a little jalapeno brine into the shaker. Originally Posted by maclean

Green olives are raw and processed in a brine solution and can be stored in a resealable container. Most black olives are cooked and canned.
Except in foreign lands, but we know all of the other countries are always doing weird things. That's why they're foreigners.
