This reminds me of the Pushbike Song, in particular this verse:
Well, we're ridin' along on a bicycle, honey
That's a bicycle built for two
Lookin' at my honey in the rear-view mirror
Now I got a better of view
Gosh, they use a lot of packaging on those apples! I know they can bruise easily, but that's a bit excessive.
Now you got me lost in nostalgia, forgot all about that tune. Shame I used to have a 1950s tandem bike in the USA, but I sold when I left for Cambodia 2010. If we ever make it to the USA one day, it would've been cool to have that waiting for us.
The roads here are pretty bad, so I imagine even the most rugged of apples shipped from the USA would turn into applesauce once transported within Suriname. We did save the apple jackets, and the @KidSisters have some doll fashion designs they've constructed from them. Suriname lacks an economy of scale, so almost everything we interact with on a daily basis is imported except for 20 or so varieties of fruits and vegetables unfortunately. !ENGAGE 25
I hope they'll be sharing those doll fashions! Glad they got some extra use from them.
I guess the climate there isn't great for apple growing anyway. It's funny how we crave what we don't normally have. Coming from the UK, I've always craved tropical fruits. Apples are everywhere there, so they're the boring fruit! π In Australia we can get the tropical fruits from the north and they're so much sweeter and juicer than we used to get in England. Same with the kiwis. I didn't realise kiwis could be sweet until we cane here.
