Wearable Tomato Project
This has gotten quite a bit of attention from the Internet. But just in case some of you haven't seen it, this is the "Tomatan" — the end result of the "wearable tomato project" sponsored by a Japanese vegetable juice company to promote the idea that tomatoes are good for you and would be great food-on-the-go for runners.

Remember when tomatoes had a nice acid twang to them? When they were only 'roundish' and some of them had a bit of green or yellow on them and you had to sit them on the windowsill for a day or two before they were perfect? Remember when you first found out that they were fruits?

IIRC, the tomato is a member of the nightshade family. The first person to eat one was taking a chance.
From the subtitles: "Exercise generates excess active oxygen. It causes 'rust' in the body."
How so? Did I miss that day in my physiology class?
The whole wearable tomato dispenser brings to mind that this guy is probably a reject of the "Fruit Of The Loom" gang.

It wasn't until one guy was brave enough to eat one in public (June 28, 1820) that everyone finally started believing they were not poisonous.

After his trial, they fed Socrates tomato soup. He didn't die and enjoyed it.
After the appeal, they fed him hemlock!
