Fruit gift giving may be most common in Japan, but it is hardly “the only country in the world where you have fruit as a gift concept”. Shame on the Times. Harry and Davis make a pretty good business out of selling premium fruit gifts. I personally recieve a box grapfruit from an aunt each Christmas. Fruit has a history as a gift in many countries, as it was once very expensive to procure when locally out of season. Even today out of season and premium fruits are given as gifts and treats. Oranges in Christmas stockings is a very common tradition for many families.

Cataloupe, huh? Is that when two cats fall in love but their parents don’t approve, so they elope? I actually wish there was a fruit called a cataloupe. It sounds cute.

I have a grapefruit tree in the backyard. I’d be willing to part with some grapefruit for only $100.00 a pop! ; )

Cantaloupe is overrated. Honey Dew is the money melon!

So many typos lately!

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and George go to a meeting with Chinese men and give them a bag of oranges.
