I loved the claim that they get their extra sweetness from being harvested when ripe,
instead of being harvested when they would last longest on the shelf.

Imagine that, "harvesting when ripe"! A concept that escaped every previous agribusiness.

I wonder what triggered these guys to do something as radical as "harvesting when ripe"?

Maybe someone said "That would annoy the supermarkets, and they would expire quickly, so they would have to charge a ridiculous, obscene amount of money for RIPE grapes!"

And some Ferngi manager said: "GREAT Idea! We LOVE obscene amounts of money!"
