Baby Shaped Fruit = More Baby Eating



More baby eating...yeesh. A guy in China is growing baby shaped pears. Apparently he was inspired by the classic Chinese story, "A Journey to the West" where a baby shaped fruit would grant a person immortality when eaten. After a few attempts, he eventually found his niche. Using baby shaped molds and a 6 month growth period, the farmer found he was able to grow fruit resembling babies.

So far his profits have gone up ridiculously, and they're a hit in China. The farmer next plans to go international with the fruit, having fruit shaped as biblical characters, and the ever popular and relevant Charlie Chaplain.

Well I'm somewhat at a loss for words here. Yes it comes from a classic novel, but this is the second baby related story I've reported on in the last week. Good for this guy though, he had an original idea and he ran with it despite the odds. Way to spend your Bonus Time pal!
