Spidery Grapes.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Georgia's on my Mind · 12-03-2002, 06:30 PM

ok, I just heard this on the news, at the supermarket MY MOM goes too, some family found a HUGE black widow spider in their bag of grapes. Yeah and the supermarket issued the statement, that some growers use spiders as pestisides, so it isn't unusual to see one once in awhile. It was a venimous black widow spider too... I don't think I am going to eat grapes for awhile....just thought I would share.

Oh ew....I think I just lost my appetite?

That is so gross. If the supermarket knows since the supermarket issued the statement that because some people put pesticides on the grapes and if it isn't unusual to see one every once in awhile, why don't they have somebody who inspects the grapes for the spiders before they put them on the shelves with all the other food? I know my dad is very picky when it comes to getting fruit from the store. He'll always check to see if they're too soft or not ripe enough before he gets any. I can't imagine what he would think if he saw spiders on grapes, though.

Now that reminds me of that scene in Arachnaphobia where that couple is eating the popcorn. Ugh, I would seriously die on the spot if I saw a spider with the grapes. ugh
