“You know, I remember the good old days when you could go to the store and buy prunes. I loved the taste of prunes and all their leathery goodness. I miss them. What ever happened to prunes?”
“Prunes. All you ever talk about is prunes. Why don’t you shut up and eat your dried plums.”

Ha. I do love me some dried cherries, but this dried fruit is expensive.. Except for raisins...but who wants to eat those?
Excuse me whilst I chew on my Jack Link's smoked dried Porterhouse steak!
Loved your 55 KP
Loved your Pruny Post
Love being 'regular'
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
This 55 was inspired by my previous post.
I haven't eaten them for a long time.
They look yummy from the picture ~
total marketing spin in dubbing them dried plums, eh? i giggle every time i see them.
dried fruit is expensive...but there is a whole section at the grocery...dried just about anything...
I don't care what their called I like dried plums. Prune juice on the other hand...I'd rather suck on lemons.
a fun 55,
Do enjoyed dried prunes and grapes.
Happy Friday.
Ewww. I've bought them for years, never has one touched my lips. Did I mention EWWWW?
I'd never noticed this clever marketing ploy... likely because I think all dried fruit is evil. *shudder*
Hmmm, interesting.
Used to love them as a kid. nice one.
This is political correctness gone mad. Tee hee.
I THINK the last bag I bought still says 'prunes' on it - but I'll have to check now :)
I much prefer fresh plums! I was shocked when I learned that they were prunes!
Haha, nice one. You spend a lot of time in the john then?

I have to admit preferring plums to prunes, but prunes are good too. I like those individually-wrapped ones that come in a plastic tube, though they're pretty pricy. Fun 55, MM!
LOL. Yeah, it pays to not get hung up on the names.
Hysterical...prunes kind of denotes an old fart, I guess....but I like them, prunes or dried plums and, at 67, I am an old fart.

This is funny. I, too, never knew that plums became prunes. Isn't that stupid? Thanks for teaching me something today!
'Dried plums'... sounds healthy and beneficial... just like prunes are supposed to be... :op
~shoes~
Yeah, what is up with that? Prunes are uncool, but Dried Plums are trendy? Guess what--the prunes have not read the label. Your drunken Ambien laden teacher story was pretty hilarious asa well--two beers and she couldn't talk? Or drive? Or was that just what she's put on board for the drive to work?
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha. LOVE how you tied this to your last post!!
xo
Thank you SO much for the chuckle...as I've been in my head writing today and it has been quite gloomy. A fun 55, as always MM ~
Love it!

I'd eat me a dried grape over a plum most days. But they keep you "happy", so that has to be a good thing , right?
I know right? Only dried plums, no prunes. What happened? Did prunes get a PR rep.
ha...the prunes do looks so much prettier...and I'm sure taste a whole lot better :)
