What You Didn't Notice About Olive's Family In Easy A

The famous joke in the film about "a jar of olives in the fridge" makes clear reference to Emma Stone's character being named after the tangy fruit. Much like her character, olives exist in multiple forms that change color, taste, and texture. But it's not just Olive who is named after an edible item. Both her parents and her brother are also called by food names in the movie.

Olive's mother is named Rosemary, the strong-flavored herb, which, used in the right amount, adds the perfect pepperiness to food. Stanley Tucci's character is Dill Penderghast, named after the aromatic herb which, similar to Tucci's Dill, is refreshing and comforting when added to meals. And finally, there's Olive's adopted brother Chip, played by Bryce Clyde Jenkins. Chip may be named after an oftentimes unhealthy snack, but it can be said that his namesake goes well with all the flavors, be it olives, rosemary, or dill.

Even Olive's older brother, who is away at school and is only mentioned in the movie, also has a food-themed name, Kale (per Bustle). With a slightly different name based on the earthy vegetable, we wonder what Kale must be like.
