Baby-shaped pears.

The best part is that the guy plans to create pears shaped like Biblical characters and Charlie Chaplin. Because who wouldn't want to take a bite out of Moses or The Tramp?

Should call them "Saturn Pears".

EDT: And if imported to the states, I think Tyson foods should pick them up.

That's weird. I saw this guy featured a couple of weeks ago on another blog, except he was calling them little Buddhas then.

Weird. Wonder if he's changed the gimmick to get more articles written about him.

That seems a lot less weird than eating a baby.

I think in the 80s you could buy a mold in, like, the Fingerhut or Lillian Vernon catalog, so you could grow a watermelon or a squash or something shaped like the head of Ronald Reagan.

Man, there's a Gallagher sketch waiting to happen.

This was the product, I think. They apparently don't make Reagan anymore.

Will Baby Jesus Pears make Baby Jesus cry?

Only if he comes out with Baby Jesus Prickly Pears.

I can imagine pears shaped like Charlie Chaplain, because we know what he looked like. But, other than, say, King Elgon (assasinated by the judge Ehud), who was described as "enormously fat", we don't really know what Biblical characters looked like.

[yendi]

True, but half the Christians think they know exactly what Jesus looks like (and there's a general notion of the "proper" look for Moses, too).

[fortunavirilis.livejournal.com]

There could be a whole series of Jesus- one for each denomination/sect, with variations for differences in the 'proper' look. Think of all the possibilities. Granted- they all would bear a slight resemblance to Kermit the Frog, but who is counting???

Yeshua ain't easy bean green.

I feel like there's a better joke than that somewhere but I can't find it. alas.
