_ I get it now!

Saw your bowed up bod in the pics from your visit to Cajun Field a few weeks back. What, did you tell that young lady you only had a few months to live? Surely she has better things to do with her time??

Thread jack!

Each holds one round fruit, keeping it visible and away from the other fruits’ discharge of ethylene gas, which speeds spoilage. When folded, the collar design can cradle one or two grapefruits.
