>imports are more expensive than non imports wow I'm so surprised

Kys

Two different kinds of cucumbers one Japanese (smaller) one larger (American) and the larger one is cheaper per pound while the smaller is more expensive per pound.

Anything else I can help with?

>that alien hand

Smaller has been bred to fit up the butt. All that science ain't cheap

The real question is how can something be "Fresh From The Farm" when it's from fucking Japan?

>>9293219

Japanese cucumbers are a type of cucumber. They don't have to be grown in japan.

This is a thinly veiled penis size comparison thread right?

>looks like we're using self checkout today :^)

>>9293184
Why is it more expensive?

>>9293255
Because it's nuclear.

>>9293255
Small vegetables cost more per pound.

This show is more cancerous than tim and eric

Protectionism through higher tariffs on imports to restrict competition with inferior american products. It's a subtle welfare subsidy to mega-agricorps that instead of coming from the treasury comes from the pocket of the unwitting consumer forced to choose a worse option because muh 'murrican tribe.

>>9293563
It's not imported you moron, read the thread.

>>9293563

well posted, brother

>>9293184
The large cucumber is grown in large quantities, then waxed to give it a long shelf life. This makes it pretty cheap. The small one is more of a specialty item, and not being waxes it's far more perishable than the large one. That results in a higher price because of scarcity and greater loss due to spoilage.

>>9293288
>mong

Why do Ameriboos talk like such faggots?

>>9293826
I'm sorry, who are you again?

T. 17 year old

>>9293579
>not imported

We don't know that just because they "can" be grown in the US. In fact there's nothing on either sign to indicate where either cucumber was grown other than that implied by the name.

>>9293184
i bet its 2.99 per pound for japanese, but .79 per cucumber for american

>>9293219
bc it is a japanese variety grown in the US.

>>9293184
I imagine the american one has been pumped full of chemicals on a mass-production factory farm while the japanese one is organic and imported.

>>9293184
the american cukes don't look crunchy, which isn't ideal honestly. Why even eat or pickle cukes if theyre not crunchy

>>9293983
>pumped full of chemicals
if you look close you can see the syringe marks

PICKLE RIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!

>just throwing out random insults out of asshurt now

Yeah definitely 17 year old.

>>9293219
Because "Fresh from the Farm" has no meaning when applied to food in the US. That could be on the sign even if it was shipped on a boat from China and sat in a warehouse for 1 month. Literally no meaning.

>>9293826
that's a Britblob thing, they do speak like children after all
>num num mummy mum gimme a chip butty !!! XDD

>>9293184
Do Americans really grow cucumbers like this?

>>9294461

>>9294461
No, we grow them in the ground. Those ones were harvested afterwards and stacked up in a store.
