At the market last weekend, I spotted a couple of unusually shaped fruits.

| Oddly-shaped avocado |

| I was informed these were called moon drop grapes. These are seedless and very sweet. |
While the avocado shape may have been naturally occuring, the grapes were a lab creation (genetically modified?). I have nothing against the latter and enjoy fruits whatever their shapes are. Others may have their shapes influenced by how they're grown. An example of these are cube-shaped canteloupe melons I saw in the supermarket a number of times.
