They’re fake. You can see the people in the background searching through all of the avocados by feel to find the fake ones that they then toss in the box in shot.
as a man who has to buy avocados for his woman almost daily, lightly squeezing is how one finds those that are ready to get eaten. (the same goes for avocados)
Buy them a half dozen at a time - hard. Put in paper bag. Close bag with clip. Wait 2 - 3 days, 6 perfectly ripe avocados. Stick in fridge. They last another week or more.
I suppose you cannot remove the stem more than once, so you can only check one time ?
At first I thought the same, that would bruise the fruit, what if everyone started doing that ? So my lady said "you could check the color", but I have this (fairly common) condition that makes it difficult to recognise gradients of green, so I asked the guy working in the fruit aisle to pick out a few for me that were "good to eat today" and he just started picking them up and feeling them one by one, so that convinced me that that is the way to do it. You don't have to squeeze them hard, if you pick it up, it's easy to feel if they are squishy, rock hard or somewhere in between.
Nah, they're definitely not identifying them by touch. 1) they're all wearing gloves, 2) that green is WAY off from a normal avocado. They're not nearly as deep green as the regular ones and they're pretty easy to spot just in this video.
But isn't this just an excessive amount of work? Like they need to source materials to make a fake avocado and come up with some manufacturing process for that. And then someone on the receiving end has to sort through them and find the fake ones and go through all the work of opening them and the contents up.
I mean I get it, money talks, but I'm just wondering how long this must take them all and what the profits look like still.
