There's something really strange about this, don't you think? How big a
problem is the pit in a plum, anyway?

I know people who won't touch my grapes - even as a free gift - because
they've got seeds! I just really struggle to understand that mindset.
But OK, grapes are bite-sized, so maybe seedless is... handy. But a
plum? I can't imagine a person who won't eat a plum because it has a
large seed in the middle!

Well, maybe I'm just getting old and cranky, but I keep wondering if
anyone even cares what these seedless plums will taste like.
