Smuit and Vegetables

Photobucket

It appears I have found a purveyor of smooch, whom proudly trumpets their achievements in the field of not-throwing-away-useless-goods-but-selling-them-instead.

WHAT IT IS: Remember fake fruit? Yes. Remember why we had fake fruit? Me neither. Remember fake bread and fake cheese?

(I hope "no" is the answer you gave to the third question.)

If you angle that apple just right, the black bit will look like shading.

It's all in the display of food products.
