"Arnold" the Incomparable- written Nov. 20, 2007

Ok - this is just too funny! While shopping at our local supermarket a few month back, we saw this. We passed on buying it - figuring a euro was too much. Boy was I wrong! The fun factor alone is worth the box. Ah well. Danke to our Oregon and Italian friends David and Ilenia (by way of Oregon, Padova, Italy and now here in Innsbruck) for buying it and posting this photo and text... Enjoy!

Apparently, someone has decided to use Arnold Schwarzeneggers's image to sell Austrian apples for a Euro a piece. On the side, they write:

Healthy and Strong

"Arnold" the Incomparable

This apple grows and ripens at the foot of the Austrian Alps in Styria with the fertile soil and unique microclimate of warm days and cool nights. Lovingly tended by skilled and dedicated fruit growers in their small and medium sized orchards it is a rich natural source of health, strength and flavor.
