The Gherkin Gate (known as the Flavor Gate in the Nintendo Switch remake) is a treasure found in Pikmin 2, resembling a 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's location is similar to the where the UV Lamp was in Pikmin 1, and the method of retrieval is the same. This treasure can be obtained by swarming Yellow Pikmin against the wall (be sure to have 15 or more), leading them up carefully through the maze, and throwing them up onto the high ledge so they can retrieve it.
