6/30/06. This one is a dud for me. Not very productive, but also has a disagreeable texture. The worst excuse for a cucumber that I have tried to date.

For many people, cucumbers react with stomach acids to produce gases which results in burping. The "burpless cucumbers do not produce this effect or at least to a lesser degree. Not all people experience this phenomena, but for those who do, "Burpless" is a big selling point.
