The Gherkin Gate is a treasure found in Pikmin 2, on the Perplexing Pool. It is actually the lid for a pickle jar that was made by the real-life company Pinnacle Foods, as 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.

Other Pikmin can also reach it with the high ledge trick. On top of that, flowered White Pikmin can slowly move up the ramp if ordered to do so with the group move function; this will only work with a sufficiently large group.[1]

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.

Gallery

This article or section is in need of more images. Particularly:
Surely we can find a picture of the lid used in-game, right?
You can help Pikipedia by uploading some images.
