So I was looking for a gift basket for a colleague today and I receieved a well timed e-mail from Daily Candy recommending Flowerbud.com. So I stroll on over to the fruit baskets – because I think that would be a nice birthday gift and she’s a vegetarian so it would also be thoughtful, and shes been under the weather. It’s a good idea.
Go on check out this page….and note the price and quantity of oranges. SERIOUSLY You must view this. Now tell me – do these oranges peel themselves? Do they bring about the fountain of youth? Do they cure cancer? What about make dinner? Do they make dinner and clean up after? Can they create orange spawns? Replicate upon arrival? What about dance? Can they at least dance – do a little shimmy shake? Do they bust out in song like the California raisins?
Now I just read the description – and because I’m just in this kind of mood I’m going to comment
Your search for the perfect orange is over. (how are we defining perfect, exactly?) With a flavor every bit as brilliant as their vivid color, these hand-picked oranges are like nothing you’ll find at the supermarket. (how different could they really be? Isn’t the orange flavour something people typically count on? Does this taste more tangello? Less like a starburst candy? What exactly differentiates it from it’s less then a dollar brother?) Delivered direct from our grower’s farm, these mouth-watering oranges arrive fresh, delicious, and bursting with Vitamin C. (Now, my father’s a farmer, he grows onions…and a lot of them…if he sold 6 onions in a box for $57.00 I would be retired. I want to shake this farmer’s hand…because he is brilliant.)
Large, juicy, and extra tasty, these premium oranges are a gift anyone will appreciate. Each elegant keepsake box holds 6 fresh oranges. (Is the premium status an FDA approved usage? Are these really special?)
Varieties may vary, according to what’s in season. Fruit may take a few days to ripen. (Now if I’m paying $57.00 for 6 oranges + tax + shipping I believe they should be ready for me to enjoy)
WHO and I want names here people would actually click the Add to Basket button? WHO?
