    Ummm…deliver better pears to the grocery store and I’ll buy some every week.

    I’ve had delicious, refreshing pears. So I know they can be good.

    Most of the pears in US grocery stores are dry grainy garbage. Like 80-90% of the time.

    The apple people figured it out. No one wants dry-ass mushy Red Delicious garbage apples. Now I can buy Cosmic Crisp or Envy apples and they are always consistently sweet, tart, juicy, and crisp. And guess what? I buy dem shits every week.

    Figure it out pear people. Get on it.

    I stopped eating apples and bananas and pears for some reason, until I had a kid and cut them up for him all the time. I’ve now rediscovered how great pears are.

    Yesterday?

    Pears are delicious. Conference pears are my favourite… Actually all other pears I’ve tried have been less good so maybe only conference pears are good. They don’t last as long as apples, but they’re amazing for about three days and decent for a few days either side. Also in my experience they don’t all ripen as uniformly as bananas, so you’re more likely to have the whole punnet edible over a week.

    You can judge the ripeness of a pear by trying to wiggle the tip - the easier it is, the riper the pear, so you can eat the ripest first.

    All 100% juice base is pear juice with natural coloring and natural flavors. I love pears cold out of the fridge! Had some last week!

    The only reason I haven’t had a pear in a while is because the only kind I can find after moving are the brown ones that have the taste and texture of a sandy beach. Those pears suck ass. I want the kind pictured here.

    Who the hell even wants those brown ones enough that it’s the only kind in this city? 🤔 Do they even sell or are the people in charge of determining what they put on shelves just bad at their job?

    I eat as many pears as possible, but they are one of the most frustrating fruits to ripen. Out of season sometimes they refuse to ripen at all.

    Harvest season for pears is like september october. Remember they’re high in aspirin-like compounds!
