Here's the thing - not one of them was even close to ripe. So unless "RIPE" means something else in Mexico where the avocados are grown, shame on you Safeway.

What does "RIPE" mean in Spanish?
I went to my local supermarket to buy an avocado and found a plentiful supply all beautifully displayed. This is one of the marvels of our modern economy - that in the middle of winter in a Colorado mountain town I can simply expect to be able to buy tropical fruits. But we take that for granted. What really caught my attention was that every single avocado had a sticker attached saying "RIPE".
Here's the thing - not one of them was even close to ripe. So unless "RIPE" means something else in Mexico where the avocados are grown, shame on you Safeway.

Howdy!
I stumbled across your blog while searching for fellow Brisbane Lions fans, so I thought I'd pop in and say hi.
I am a rabid Lions supporter and will be posting plenty of stuff throughout the season.
Feel free to stop by!
