Default Green Olives or Black Olives ?

Why is it that so few pizza and submarine fast food ( or even slow food ) operations don't offer green olives as toppings/choices ? I much prefer green olives, although I can enjoy black ones alright.

Why is it that we don't get many options re: mustard for sandwiches, either ?

Green olives just taste like pure vinegar.

Save money, just buy vinegar by the gallon.

Green olives on a pizza? Common man! That's horrific.

I say this as a proud lover of all thing olives. I hate black olives - the canned "sweet" crap - that we get on pizzas... there are much better versions of them, for sure. But never ever green. That's... well... horrific.

With you on the mustard thing, although I actually like French's/yellow mustard as compared to any of the other versions, but some meats are better with dijon or grainier forms.

I prefer black olives on pizza.

I like green olives with that orange stuff in it best for snacks though. :P

So I dunno which to choose.

I prefer both. In equal proportion.

The best and the worst olives are black...
Green is the safer choice, I guess

I like olives in every form or fashion I've encountered them... but kalamatas are the best, I think.

Sadly, there was no poll option for them.
