Pomegranates with instructions?

pomegranate.jpgSome of the smartest marketers I have seen are farmers. Think about it. Orange growers convinced us that oranges are a great source of vitamin c even though guavas, papayas, strawberries and kiwis beat oranges to a pulp. Apples for fiber? Try raspberries, blackberries, prunes, figs and papayas first. Raspberries have more than double the fiber of an orange. But sometimes this is intentional. Raspberries are one of those fruits that has a premium and comes on fancy chocolate desserts. So why would they want to be attached to a substance that is good for your bowels? They wouldn’t. Like I said, farmers are smart marketers. So when I saw this display for pomegranates at a local grocery store I couldn’t help but think about how smart farmers are when it comes to selling their product. They turned the produce shelf into a point-of-sale display complete with directions on how to use this exotic fruit.

I also thought that this was genius. It even made me purchase a few for my wife.
