    Insanely expensive strawberries


    The jumbo “Beautiful Princess” strawberries shown in this Fuji TV news clip are being sold at the ridiculous price of between 30,000 and 50,000 yen (370 and 545 US dollars) for a box of five strawberries:

    fruits have always been expensive .. i am questioning whether these strawberries are bioengineered fruits .. there are so many genetically altered food on the markets now that we don't even know for sure since not all place required company to list them out like the US.

    that is pretty insane, a way too expensive. well perhaps if you are a fruitlover, it won't be that expensive?

    that is pretty expensive for a strawberry. It better taste good and sweet. but I would never buy that strawberry to eat, not like i will live forever after I eat it.
