The Gherkin Gate is a tresure found in the game Pikmin 2 and is actually the lid for a pickle jar that was made by the real-life company Pinnacle Foods, and is the lid for their popular Vlasic pickle brand.
On it, it reads from top to bottom:
BIG TASTE(,) BIG CRUNCH
vlasic
REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING
DO NOT PURCHASE IF SAFETY BUTTON IS UP
This treasure is found on the mainland in the Perplexing Pool, and is found near the two Burgeoning Spiderworts. It is almost in the same place as the UV Lamp in Pikmin, and the tactic in getting it is just the same. Just swarm Yellow Pikmin against the wall (be sure to have 15 or more). Lead them up carefully through the maze, then throw them up onto the high ledge so they can retrieve it.
Notes
Olimar's journal
“Staring at this symbol tantalizes my taste buds. I've never observed this before, but my sight and sense of taste appear to be connected. Perhaps this is some new kind of psychological advertising. I'll have to tell the ship about it!”
Sales pitch
“This cryptic design contains a link between sight and taste that is unknown on Hocotate. According to the psychology of unknown shapes, gazing at this will let you taste the unknown.”
