It’s the fruit flies that come with them! That’s what it is, isn’t it Adam? Nobody’s going to eat that fruit, and then the flies show up, and even when you throw the fruit away (after waiting waaaay too long, in the hopes that some random passerby will want it), the flies keep hanging around…amiright?
The real problem with fruit baskets is the time limit on their being edible.
Panel 4: I will donate to any charity that DOESN’T send me address labels. Who uses those things anymore? I have enough already for the rest of my life.
I got a box of 4 individually wrapped peaches as a gift which seemed lame – but then I found that they were by far the best peaches ever grown. Now I am hoping someone will send me peaches again…
Here is a NOT fruit basket for you. I know it’s a bit early for Christmas but I like to get the heinous gift giving all over with by Thanksgiving . ENJOY.
I never thought of it that way, but that is the implication, just likely not the intentional one. I always it was just a way of feigning modest like “Oh, it was nothing.” or “It was what anybody would have done.” or “I’m not a hero. I’m just doing my job.”
Xbox, eh? Apparently Tiny Tim prioritizes graphics and sound quality over enjoyability of games. Zing!
Yeah. Maybe Scrooge made a mistake.
“Move it, Lady! I’m low on oreos!” not only is that the story of my life, but still not a bigger problem than a butter shortage.
Are you norwegian?
Actually, yes I am, small percentage actually.
Oh the butter “shortage”. All because foreign butter somehow wasn’t good enough.
Uh no, Butter Shortage as in a line from Sealab 2021, clip found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma_ti7gRE3M
Apparently, it was also caused by Norwegian celebrity chef Paula Deenfyörgen.
I actually enjoy eating fruit, but it’s still a terrible gift.
I feel the same way.
Wow.
I can’t even /begin/ to imagine how many fruit baskets you’re not going to get for Christmas now you’ve let us know.
I already haven’t sent mine. I hope he enjoys it!
Fruit baskets of the month is a very popular gift to gift Adam this year… well.. popular with us.
It will be the exact opposite. Everyone will send fruit baskets.
2nd panel for the win.

Baskets of any type of food are always welcome with you’re low on money.
And…I actually like fruit.
He he!
(But I’ll dispose of ALL your unwanted fruit baskets. Consider it my gift to you!)
As a university student, food is the best gift EVER.
I second this.

Y’know, I just realized. Fruit baskets are a culture thing… Over here people don’t give them as gifts. They give candy baskets and such.

To heck with that- I LOVE getting gift baskets for Christmas, *especially* the fruit. It’s always great quality. I even like the fake cheese.
“I hate them so much that I consider NOT receiving one a gift.” Shouldn’t it be ‘as a’? Sorry, I hate being that person.
I love fruits. ‘Speically apples, grapes, ‘nd orange juice! (I suck the juice out of oranges)
Why do people say “it’s the least I could do”? Are people just imply that they are so lazy and just did least they could do?
