Eggplant Mail
Eggplant Mail is the latest incarnation of the vegetable-mailing business fad. In a similar vein, we've recently seen Mail-a-Spud and Mail-a-Pickle (as well as Feces by Mail, though that's processed vegetable matter).
The slight variation that Eggplant Mail offers is that customers can request that a message be written on the eggplant before it's shipped to the person of their choice.
But although the business is only about a month old, its owner has already decided to cash out and is auctioning off eggplantmail.com.
The lucky buyer is getting not only a site, but a business that has already raked in some $570 in sales. However, the owner has revealed to the German version of vice.com that he's not planning on accepting less than $10,000.

If you leave me with egg on my face I'll plant ya!
If you were any dumber you'd be a vegetable!
I'm yummy, what's your super power?

Whoever takes it better include a notice that the enclosed item is not meant for consumption. Otherwise I see a problem with various local food vendor laws. Remember all the stories about kids lemonade stands !!

Well I guess that eliminates the message- Eat me!

@Patty - It would take several of us just to get through the breast meat.

The mention of Feces by Mail got me thinking about FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplant). I wonder if there are any vegetarians in need of the procedure who would demand that their transplants only come from other vegetarians.

Fritz G: serves 'em right if they do.
As for this, I wonder if there's an option to use the original, egg-shaped Thai aubergine? The bitterness of that fruit would make it all the more appropriate...

I could also see a market for kosher poop for transplanting purposes.

Fecal transplant guaranteed 100% Kosher. Harvested from Hasidic Rabbis.

What about Muslims for the transplant ? It couldn't be anyone who has eaten pork.

In DC there used to be a firm that would send dead flowers to your ex or someone you wanted to break up with.
