Due to rare weather conditions, strawberries in UK are very large.

Major supermarkets have issued a warning that they might be too big to fit in a person's mouth!

Wow - what should we do if faced with this dilemma?

What about other fruits like apples and pears - why are we not warned that they are too big?

Are oranges excluded because they are segmented?

What about bananas (a good description for the numpties who feel the warning about strawberries is important).

Is this an insurance overreaction - are the supermarkets are afraid somebody might choke on an oversized strawberry and they might be sued?

I wanted to investigate this phenomenom..gemini said...

Certain weather conditions can contribute to fruits growing larger than their typical size. The primary way weather influences fruit size is through its effects on the physiological processes within the plant, particularly during the critical cell division and cell expansion stages of fruit development.

Ill bet the bigger the fruit, the more costly it is.
