Did you set the one chocolate chip cookie on edge out of the box as well, or was it like that? If you did it, what an eye catching idea!

I understand! I mean, I was standing there, within a foot or so from those pastries--And I didn't buy any of them!

Just looking at them makes me gain weight!

#2 photo.

Looks like a red raspberry, but no color. Did you try them ? Looks like a bland tasting berry. Or is it a surprise, and exploding with flavor ?

Nice photos once again. You should open a DoorDash type subsidiary, buy produce, then ship it all over the country. Get a corporate jet and then fly plums and lettuce to the east coast and in between the continental US.

That will keep you busy,.. so you don't make trouble and such.

Thanks for your wonderful (?) idea, but I'm not looking for more things to do!

The second photo is indeed a raspberry but a variant on the normal one. I haven't tried them.
