When Produce Lies
August 7th, 2008
I don’t need them for another few days, so it didn’t matter that every avocado in the huge display was rock-hard. I was amused by their proclamation, though: “Buy me, I’m ripe! I promise!”

I hate when they do that - It happens quite a bit -I see that bright sticker race over to grab a “ripe” one and it is like a brick. Kind of scares you that someone actually thinks these are ripe - their senses are off. I wonder what else they put on or more important do not take off the shelves.

I agree! I find it ironic -and it happens to me ALL the time!

This is the best headline! I can just imagine a bunch of avocados scheming to ruin the consumer’s plan to make guacamole that night.
