Meet Bob
I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Anyway, colored food--even purple seems to be a thing.
One blogger calls himself the purple twinkie--purpletwinkie.com
I know! Patriotic food! Apples and bananas printed with the stars and stripes. Grapefruits which, when cut in half, reveal an inspirational message inside, like a fortune cookie.
Sound like a business idea?
@Kris: Nope, they're grown like that. They weren't mutated either. Dad says that he got them from the catalogue. I didn't bother to ask why.
@Kapitano: I don't know about turquoise carrots but according to Minge, apparently carrots also come in purple. Bright orange potatoes are all over the place here. They're actually really good. Patriotic food? Already done. Red White and Blue strawberries are kick-ass. As for the message-in-a-fruit, that would be insanely expensive. We'd have to pay, like, European prices for that. Yech.
