We bought a box of organic peaches. They tasted great and worked wonderful in smoothies. Then I noticed the sign on the box:

I didn’t know that peaches could be cosmetically challenged.

First, I didn’t notice anything wrong with them, they looked like fine peaches. Perhaps it was because they were organic and therefore not polished in some way?

Second, I thought that politically correct descriptions applied to people only. I didn’t realize fruit could be offended, too.

Let me have a go at it:

• Black peaches, yellow peaches, brown peaches….
• Soft peaches, juicy peaches, splotchy peaches….
• Fermented peaches….
• Rotten peaches, rotten in the sun….

Ah, now I feel better.
