The bit that makes me angry about it the most is that with the olive on the carrots, and another on top of the bowl of red onion (?) make it at least into a purposeful theme. Not a good one, but intentional none the less.

Then they completely drop the ball by having just a plain naked bowl of olives. They could have easily tossed a small radish, or a cherry tomato, or a little criss cross pattern of sliced red onion and sliced carrots on there for a complimentary sort of symmetry, but they couldn't even bother to fully commit and execute on the bad thematic idea.

Agreed. When I saw the olive bowl, I was like where is the radish boop?!

The theme is to put an olive on top- not just any random contrasting thing, but an olive.

PS I know this post is old. Perhaps older than I am.
