Attack of the killer mold

[yvr girl]

When I left my place about 4 PM I had a peach in my fruit basket that was somewhat bruised looking.

I got home at 2:30 AM and it's covered in white and green mold.

How can that happen so fast?

2. I don't know, but

quick-growing mold in Great Bend, PA grain supplies in the 1820's are posited by some academics as possible causes of Mormonism founder Joseph Smith's "revelations" (many strains are psychedelic) that served as the basis for the Book of Mormon.

Eat the peach; the next world religion may depend on it!

4. 8 hours later and the thing is BLACK now

It's kind of freaky.

7. Maybe you can market it as some hair regrowth stuff.

It may be slightly better than that hairspray paint they used to vend.

8. May be street value involved

10. I haven't had a good

peach in years. I buy them and they are hard. I check them everyday and then in one day they seem to have rotted. Friends say they have had the same problem. I think they freeze them in transport and that makes the rot faster when they thaw out.

11. Same thing happens w/tomatos

when they're exposed to fridge temp for too long after picking; their interior flesh hardens and becomes mealy as some defense mech to insulate their seeds, subsequent to which they never ripen properly, dammit! So yeah, wonder if w/refridgerated transportation the same thing happens w/peaches...

12. I had 4 of its sisters and they were just great

This one seemed to be born bad though.
