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.

It's actually not even good for them. It's entirely for the presentation to the humans that buy them. It makes them spoil quicker and is also just a waste of water.

On the upside: They feel pretty good as a human on a hot day.

It’s quite warm in the north east of the U.K. at the minute, please do this to me.

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.

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

It probably feels a lot more like this

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 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.

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

I don't think you would feel that much being a vegetable, but since no person has ever come back from the vegetable state you just can't tell.

The cutting your legs off for display part?
