Actually Zak- Dingle bought me one for my birthday- wrapped up in about 20 layers of protective foam it was.

We had the people at Tsingdao Beer Pub (love that name) slice it up for us and bring it on a plate.

It was OK.

I say we pass the hat around, buy 1 and then cut it into 6 slivers to share @ 20 odd kuai a sliver.

Wonder what they do with the unsold ones as they slowly get mushy ?

F me. At that price I’d be carefully keeping the seeds and planting them in 4 tonnes of soil I’d just had trucked in from somewhere non-toxic (still looking, looking). Just hope they weren’t GM’d to be infertile.

It would take a few years for the first crop; I’d have to keep it a secret though. Wouldn’t want Lao Wang despatching the *Japanese* saplings with a machete…..

Gola, mate, I don’t see how anyone in Pakistan could afford apples that expensive.

I’ve had a bite of those square watermelon before. They also cost an arm and leg. They are pretty damn good! But i didn’t pay for the $100 USD watermelon. I’ll just take a bite of this apple if anyone is going to buy it.

Of course apples are expensive they don’t grow on trees you know!

I’ll be honest I’ve never actually eaten one of these, but every morning I get my ayi to make a glass of apple juice using six of them each time and it tastes pretty good. Tomorrow I’ll tell her to just juice 5 and I’ll eat the sixth and report back.

OK. I’ve really tried to think of something witty to say. I can’t. This is outrageous to the core!

I think there’s much worse in Japan though, melons for thousands of dollars and stuff

What might not be immediately obvious from the photo is that each apple is the size of Gary Coleman’s thumb.
