    Aren’t all fruits technically limited-edition by their very nature?

    This is normal in Japan.

    Perfect-looking fruits and vegetables (and giant tunafish) regularly get sold at premiums in grocery stores or are auctioned off. Sometimes it makes the news.

      Usually when I see stuff like this on YouTube the people trying it say something along the lines of “it’s good, and it was nice to try it, but it’s not worth the price.”

        Or it tastes really good and has a good texture which is why this luxury person decided to put money into creating and cultivating and then sell it at exorbitant prices. But, nah, let’s just assume the worst. Rich people, amirite?

    I’m a little bit late to the pineapple party but I wanted to say that I recently saw a 6 oz container of non organic blueberries for over $9 and I thought THAT was outrageous.
