The Patience Tester (がまんのコンテナ?, lit.: "Patience Container") is a treasure in Pikmin 2 and is actually a can of Sun Luck-brand water chestnuts. It is found on sublevel 3 of the Citadel of Spiders, and is usually hidden in an alcove, sometimes behind a bramble gate. There are a few Anode Beetles and Swooping Snitchbugs, including one that spawns when the Pikmin tries to carry it, that may hinder them when recovering the treasure. In the European version, it is located at the Hole of Heroes on sublevel 9 inside the Fiery Bulblax.

Exclusively in the US Wii version of the game, Olimar's journal on this treasure contains a copy of the GameCube European text for the Permanent Container, which is one of the European-exclusive treasures characterized with descriptions with written mistakes.

In the Switch port, the treasure is an unbranded can of pineapple slices.

Notes

Olimar's journal

GameCube GameCube US version US version
“Just looking at this sealed container makes me want to open it up! But opening it will decrease its value on the alien antiquities market. Maybe I'll just use my imaginary can opener and pretend to open it instead.”
GameCube GameCube European version European version
“When I see a closed container, I cannot help myself,  [sic]I feel like I must open it and see what's inside. But when opening it, it could lose it's[sic] value. I guess I'll just have to use my imagination.”

Sales pitch

“This calls out to be opened, peeked inside, and tasted. This temptation-filled item is perfect for those who wish to test the strength of their resolve.”
