  As a young adult of the 90’s all I see here is Legionnaire’s disease.

  It’s actually not even good for them. It’s entirely for the presentation to the humans that buy them.

    I never really see them in use anymore.

    They also installed sprinkler system for tourists at some tourist attractions in the very hot summer of 2015. Except they also did this at the Auschwitz camp. It was quite the uproar.

    This! These things are a big pet peeve for me. Such a waste.

    I hate this thing. Love our local market, but they use these and it’s so annoying to have soggy everything.

      Veggies weigh more and thus cost more? Win/win. Oh wait…

  I haven’t seen these for over a decade now, they used to be in most stores but it was pretty obvious it created a lot of issues because of all the “moistness”. Good that they got rid of it, at least here in Sweden.

  Peppers and cucumbers are the traumatic forced abortions of the plant world. Broccoli and cauliflower are the amputated sex organs of the plants that were cut from their bodies. Celery, brussel sprouts, and artichokes are severed limbs of plants. This is a literal mass grave of dead and dying vegetation, an alter to the horrific mutilation and abuse perpetrated on an entire kingdom of life by humans. A final act of humiliation before we condemn them to the hell of cooking and consumption. I doubt the spray mist provides much comfort.

    Awesome! I’ma start a death metal band and put celery and brussel sprouts on the album covers.

    • Track 1: "I will Eat your Artichoke!"
    • Track 2: "Your Chopped Broccoli Falling on the Floor"
    • Track 3: "Sliced Cucumber"
    • etc

  It probably feels a lot more like this

  A wall lined with morgue refrigerators. One of them is open, showing a human body covered in a cloth

  we had these 20 years ago in my country. but these got removed because they create bacteria and lower shelf life by a lot. nothing good about them at all. just extra cost and work.

    Was wondering why we don’t have this in Europe, and the answer is once again, common fucking sense.

      I’ve seen them last year in france at some places unfortunately.

  I buy all my fruits and veggies straight from the orchard, farm stands or the Amish. Often the products are dirty, have flaws, uneven shapes and varying states of ripeness. I can pay .90 for a cucumber at the store or, five for a dollar at the stand or, pick my own at the Amish farm for .10 a piece. I haven’t shopped in a store since the Covid price hikes. I now eat better, lost weight, cholesterol, sugar and BP all down. I also planted my own berries, plum and apple trees. Cannabis, too. I can wash my own damn fruit. Just say no to corporate greed.

    Seems like a complete flip to what we have here in the UK, Aldi is by far cheaper than any farmers market I have seen.

  As a child I used to be borderline obsessed with the misters and the overall smell and vibe of the produce sections. Always told my mom I wanted to work in one. Thirty years later, purely by circumstance, I manage one for a living. It’s not quite what I dreamed of, given that stores in 2025 are no longer poorly lit nor smell like mothballs and old air conditioning/refrigerant, but I still enjoy my career.

  I’ve been on some patios in the summer that actually do this. It does feel very good.

  On a horribly hot summer day in Australia, I’ve been known to hang out in the vege section of the supermarket for the misters before heading off to buy deeply unhealthy things that taste better
