I Think This Frightens Me

Fruit Cup

Have you seen this? Their vans are running around Austin, filled with these fruit cup explosions. They are the Jackson Pollock of acidic fruits arrangements. This can go wrong in so many ways and right in so few. I can see one on a conference room table, delivered Friday afternoon. Unmoved, it has grown over the weekend. Feeding off the free oxygen and bacteria in the air. Pools of tainted sugar water collecting on sticky mahogany. The horror, the horror.

  1. The arrangements are kind of creepy, but I’ve got to say – I got a box of their chocolate covered strawberries earlier this year as a gift, and they were goooooood.

  2. Yes, good point. But those are legacy items. they have been around since Willy Wonka planted strawberries next to the Chocolate River.

  3. My work purchased one of the arrangements for a coworkers birthday once and it was NASTY. The fruit was soooo dried out. A canteloupe should be nice and juicy, but it was like styrofoam or something.
