Canned Fruit

I always wondered why people buy canned fruit. You know, the fruit soaking in that syrup. I just don't get it. If you walk the extra 20 feet, the fresh stuff is right there. I suppose if you are in the Army canned fruit is ok, or if you are stocking a bomb shelter with supplies. That's the downfall of bomb shelters, no fresh stuff. Your last meal on earth is probably going to be something out of a can, like Chef Boyardee Ravioli with a fruit cup for dessert. Not the way I'd like to spend my last minutes on earth....opeing a can, heating it on a hot plate, then sucking down a fruit cocktail before I drop dead.

The thing that always made me laugh about canned fruit is that it basically all tastes the same. The fruit cocktail with the grapes, peaches, pears, pineapples, and cherries all tastes the same. Only the texture of the fruit makes you know what the hell you are eating, otherwise that fruit all tastes the same from that heavy syrup it has been soaking in since 1997. Funny part is, my brother, sister, and I used to fight over the cherries when we were little. Why? Maybe because of the difference in color, who knows, but it tasted the same as the rest of the drenched shit in that can. Not to mention canned fruit has little or no nutritional value.

I say enjoy fresh fruit while you can! Unless bombs are falling, I am in a hurricane shelter, or I have no teeth left to chew...it's fresh all the way!
