Hali received one of these from her work people as a recovery gift after surgery. It was fabulous. but yes, I've been noticing the commercials in the last week or so, and they seem so odd. yea, I am just seeing this now and like so many above, I just have to respond too!

I love fresh fruit - but I would avoid this - not just the germs but the preservatives - blech. Now give me a basket of freshly picked apples and I'm happy as a clam!

The people who prepare the fruit wear gloves and hairnets. It looks pretty sanitary. I wouldn't mind getting one of them myself, but then I like fruit a lot but I don't like peeling it. If you obsess over any kind of food it can gross you out. have you ever seen what goes on behind the scenes in a restaurant kitchen? I'm not talking about a greasy spoon but a four star restaurant kitchen. Some scary things happen. My neighbor is a chef in a very exclusive restaurant. He has worked in some well-known places in Manhattan and he tells some very... unappetizing stories. Rats, insects, people dropping food on the floor and picking it up and putting it on patrons' plates, people sampling from dinners which have been prepared but not yet carried into the dining room, and much, much worse. And how about the chemicals in food and the whole chain of people who handle it before it gets to your table? I choose not to think about it too much. My grandmother said we all eat a peck of dirt before we die. She didn't mention rat feces and insect bodies but they're likely to slip in, too. I watch my standard poodle and she happily eats everything she can get ahold of.. Some of it is still wiggling. I'm sorry if this is making you queasy but that's just how it is. Life is a messy business so I wash fruit before I eat it and consider it good to go. There’s a shop that sells these near where I get my hair done.

A girl in my husbands office got one and she asked if I wanted a chocolate dipped mango and I said no so quick you would have thought I slapped her. All I could think was ewww... run away. However I would be willing to buy that hello kitty bucket. They can keep their microbe covered fruit. I always think about microbes on things like that.
