Don't think it's late enough in the season yet for that many rotten tomatoes.mcbrooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327814383697990623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154580569513471740.post-53335016017552228712013-07-22T11:22:55.060-04:002013-07-22T11:22:55.060-04:00It was awesome and a great experience.

Given the fun stuff you highlight on this blog, you (and your kids) would've enjoyed.<br /><br />The real story is that the tomatoes weren't rotten or unfit for consumption. They were hard and fully ready for eating, and looked great (Fairway quality). It was quite a surprise given the often quoted press release of only rotten tomatoes. It didn't bother me except when I got hit with one, which hurt more than the expected soft ones. I didn't mind the wasted food (hunger is a political issue, not availability, since there's plenty of food but no political will to make it available to poor people. see, e.g. the Republican votes on SNAP), but I don't like the false statements made by Tomato Battle that only rotten tomatoes were to be used. Someone should check the invoices and purchase orders to establish the lie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
