      I saw a cooking or travel show that featured the guy who grows those a while back. Apparently they taste absolutely amazing, but I can’t imagine justifying spending that much money on a strawberry.

        Yeah I remember that.

        For the amount of work the grower does you’re getting a steal but for what you’re getting … it’s a tall order.

        I grow strawberries and have a container I try to baby and ill be honest you’d have to pay me more than 500 bucks to care for them that much 😂

    $19 strawberry is insane…

    The fact that it’s imported from Japan at that price is just dumbfounding.

    Like, there’s no way it can be better than the same variety grown locally and eaten fresh.

    They’re probably flying these fucking these over to still be “fresh”.

    Just setting their money and our planet on literal fire for social media flexes.

    Individually packaged strawberries… Some people just want to get fucked by the environment, don’t they?
