Olives, off the vine, come with a large, and very hard pit in them. When the pit is removed (to save you from breaking your teeth) there's a nice hole waiting to be filled with something, so some manufacturers stick a pimento in it. I've also seen nuts, pickles, and in one case, caviar.

More than 85% of stuffed olives, especially the green Spanish variety, are stuffed with pimento, while other stuffings; garlic, cheese, etc., make up the remaining percentage of preferred stuffings. That's just the way it's done i guess.

I am not sure why they are in there because I hate green olives!
Black olives - yum!
