Molecular Garnish Fail

For some reason I thought it would be fun and interesting to make dehydrated olives. 

It turns out that not only are they ugly, they also taste disgusting, like a savory salt lick. 

And they don't get any prettier when you put them in a drink.

I also dehydrated some maraschino cherries and they came out sort of okay. 

They taste like candy, basically, and are very sticky.

So now I just have to figure out what to do with them. Ideas?
