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.
