How to Wash Fruit

Let's take a poll: Who washes their fruit before they eat it? I do! Unless it's a b-a-n-a-n-a (thx Gwen) or an orange. Do you know how many pesticides, chemicals, human waste & fruit fly larvae are on that NON-organic apple? Fuck! Probably like 775 pesticides, chemicals, human waste & fruit fly larvae! That's a lot of crap on that "healthy" snack that you're about to ingest. Organic fruits and veggies are just as bad. Those have human fece hands and those annoying fruit flies!

There's 3 ways to clean that tasty heavily tainted treat. One way to get some of those dirty nasty things off your "nature treat" is to run that piece of fruit/vegetable under the sink with water. This like I said gets "some" of the bad boys off your produce. You may die in 20 years from the chemicals still being on there but you're fruit will be nice and wet!

Another way to get that produce wiped clean of devilish things is to clean it with Palmolive. Yes Palmolive! The same Palmolive that mom used to wash last nights meatloaf off of grandpa's dish. The same Palmolive that's tough on dishes but soft on your hands! What you do is squirt a little Palmolive on your fruit/veggie and massage it in like you were massaging that kink out of your husbands neck after a late night of rough housing in the sack. After the soap is all suds rinse it off under the sink very well until all you smell is that fresh Palmolive smell. Now you might be saying "but Palmolive is also a chemical. Isn't this like stealing from Peter to give to Paul?" Yes and no, let me explain. The chemicals found in Palmolive are not known to kill you. So go ahead wash that fruit with Palmolive and make it sparkle like that new wine glass!

The last and probably most healthy way to clean fruit is by using Veggie Wash. It's an all natural made from "organic citrus" veggie/fruit wash. It also cleans cutting boards and other food surfaces. Here's how you use it

"Firm produce should be sprayed thoroughly with Veggie Wash, rubbed with the hand for 20-30 seconds, and then rinsed thoroughly with water before eating."

Wow that sounds really easy and fun! Who knew cleaning fruit could be so in depth! There are so many ways to go about trying to not go deaf, blind & dumb from those pesky chemicals on the fruit. I feel safer just knowing that one day my body will be intact thanks to the men and women who created Veggie Wash & Palmolive! Thanks guys!

I tried to hide the boredom in my blogs by finding an interesting photo. I guess it works!

I'm glad you enjoyed this blog. I don't need you dieing any earlier than you might. My fans are important to me. Without you guys I'd be a blogger with no fans!
Wow scary thought!

Erica Ann Putis said...

Yes - the picture was funny but the blog... Eaaa... Have you even really used that stuff or is it just one of those things that you want to use so bad that you look it up on the internet and read all about it and talk about it like you use it all the time? Ok Dave.

Gregg O'Connell said...

E-PU you love to hate on my blogs! I'm writer of information and entertainment. This was a 411 on fruit cleaning! Obviously this entrywasn't good for you since you only eat breads and pastas :P

Julianne B said...

Greggors,

You could work at Vons & demonstrate how to clean your fruit to the shoppers.

Better yet, let's have a fruit washing ceremony at your pad. We'll all clean you first cuz your the fruitiest.

With love,

Captain Morgan

Erica Ann Putis said...

True dat! I am Italian. Good call Julianne B.

Gregg - you still didn't answer my question, so that just leads me to the conclusion that you really have never used the stuff.

Gregg O'Connell said...

erica: ive never used either palmolive or veggie wash....i'm too cool for that stuff!

captain morgan: vons has the nasty produce. Henry's is where its at. they have veggie wash right by the fruit! phatttness

You are such a great salesman!! That's your new calling. A fruity-wishy-washy-salesman.

Gregg O'Connell said...

Gregg O'Connell said...

Dear Herman,

Anonymous said...
