What's in your fruit bowl?

Right now?

Mine contains 5 apples, including 4 Granny Smiths deemed 'too sour' to eat Hmm, two stray nerf bullets and Ds1's headphones.

The shopping will arrive tomorrow and the detritus will be evacuated to make room for, you know, actual fruit that will be eaten.

Is yours more interesting?

Two satsumas, some sellotape and a plastic dinosaur.

2 brown bananas that need thrown out.

Marmite27 · 12/11/2023 14:09

Some aldi specially selected easy peelers, 4 pink lady apples and 2 McDonald’s happymeal minion toys.

There are grapes and a honeydew melon in the fridge.

Another one with 2 brown bananas. Nothing else.

Badatthis · 12/11/2023 14:10

A banana, random Lego pieces I find on the floor and a squashy toy bat

Marmite27 · 12/11/2023 14:10

Oh and 3 bananas, because I threw the 4th away this morning because the bottom half was all black.

Polis · 12/11/2023 14:10

Half a dozen satsumas and a couple of huge quinces.

GigiAnnna · 12/11/2023 14:11

Bananas, apples, pears, oranges, plums.

TropDrôle · 12/11/2023 14:11

Spare change, keys and some hair ties.

We are keto so no fruit.

Marmite27 · 12/11/2023 14:11

I’m at my DM’s, hers is full of Cadbury hero’s Blush

Pixiedust1234 · 12/11/2023 14:13

A bunch of mouldy bananas that went from green to brown in one day. I refuse to have an empty fruit bowl so they will sit there glaring at me until I replace them.

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 12/11/2023 14:14

3 brown bananas and a crinkly apple.

caringcarer · 12/11/2023 14:14

4 Pink Lady, 3 Gala apples, 4 bananas and 2 packs of satsumas. Grapes in fridge.

Libertass · 12/11/2023 14:15

Pens, most of which don’t work. Keys for unknown locks. A charger for an unknown device. A memory card. Golf tees. Some random foreign coins.

There’s no room for any actual fruit, which sits on the table still in its supermarket packaging.

Devilsmommy · 12/11/2023 14:16

I don't have one because I'm sick of seeing fruit turn really fast. It's all in the fridge now😁

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 12/11/2023 14:16

Plums, tangerines and apples

BarbaraofSeville · 12/11/2023 14:16

Nothing, because it's not Christmas and it only gets used to make trifle in, which we only have at Christmas.

We don't buy fresh fruit because it always gets wasted. We eat frozen or tinned instead, or the odd apple that lives in the fridge.

bonbonbonne · 12/11/2023 14:17

2 lemons, 3 pears, 1 persimmon and 2 oranges

mumda · 12/11/2023 14:17

@Pascha turn the apples into apple mush and serve with custard.

ThelmaBorden · 12/11/2023 14:17

a banana and two satsumas

Favouritefruits · 12/11/2023 14:18

1 honey dew melon that refuses to ripen, 6 or so bananas, 5 apples, grapes and a few over ripe apricots!

43ontherocksporfavor · 12/11/2023 14:20

Shopping yesterday so about 16 apples, 8 bananas,8 satsumas and 6 pears.
Separate bowl for 4 lemons and 4 limes and 4 avocados.

StopLickingTheDog · 12/11/2023 14:21

4 bananas
4 apples - 3 gala, 1 granny Smith
2 satsumas that are on the cusp of going in the food waste
1 avocado which should be acceptably ripe between 07:05 and 08:12 tomorrow
3 lemons

Unusually no random bits of (not literal) shit that there usually is

squashyhat · 12/11/2023 14:22

Three drawing pins Hmm

Flossflower · 12/11/2023 14:23

Bananas on top of pens and a pair of oven gloves.
Loads of other fruit in the fridge.
