Monopolized mutation

D4rw1n: Driscolls is marketing a new mutant strain of blueberry under the name "Sweetest Batch."  We've sampled several boxes over the last few months. They're moderately sweeter than the regular ones, which is fine. They're also freakishly large. Which is an okay trait up to a point.

That point was officially exceeded by today's batch, which included the big bulgy bastard pictured.

1. Mutant blueberries. 2. Normal-ish-sized blueberry. 3. House.

They're BIGGER THAN A DANG HOUSE

The lumpiness is the feature to emphasize, in my view. That's what crosses them over into a weird uncanny valley of the mutant produce world
