Disney branched out
 

GD bought pluots this week. If you're unfamiliar with them, they're pretty creepy fruit. When you bite into it it looks just like red, raw, dripping flesh, complete with arteries. Tastes like a plum though.

The real story here though is that the usual little sticker on our fruit has a "Disney Garden" logo and a picture of Pluto. Get it - Pluto, pluot?

Has this Disney Garden thing been going on for a while or is it new? I can't find a thing on it online.

It's only a couple months old, though Disney announced the first such partnership in Europe with Tesco. It was about the same time the dissolution of the Disney/McDonald's happy meal partnership was in the news a few months ago.

Here's an article about the announcement of the U.S. partnership (with three companies: Crunch Pak, Imagination Farms, and Ito Packaging). Apparently as part of this first deal fruits seen are peaches, plums, nectarines, Pluots, California cherries and California blueberries.

Disney fruit... who would of thought?

Hey CP, I just picked one up on Friday, but still have to try it. I thought it was interesting also. Mine needed a couple more days to ripen. So I'll try it tomorrow.

Funny thing, I thought it was a Pluto and not a plout! My eyes played tricks on me.:eek:

We have a few Disney fruits right here on LoT. :p

Am I the only one who gets the pun?

If you mean the thread title, no.

Depends on which on you're talking about. The best course is to explain which one you mean so that we can all pretend we got it even if we didn't.

Disney BRANCHED out. Fruit. Branch. Get it?

I wasn't aware of the rule to, upon getting a pun, immediately post "A pun! I get it!"
