Varieties of muskmelon. “True” or “European” cantaloupe are rare in the States.
The terminology for muskmelon and cantaloupe is actually pretty confusing; in part because some varieties seem to fall inbetween categories, and in part because not all sources giving definitions seem to give the same ones.
That’s what I was wondering! All along I’d assumed the guy filed suit because the ingredients list said something like “real Japanese wasabi”.
But (thanks for posting the label, Atamasama) it says: Wasabi seasoning, and specifically says “Maltodextrin, Mustard Seed.” AND “Artificial Wasabi Flavoring”.
Damn, I didn’t know the actual title on the bag is “Wasabi Delight FLAVORED Snack Mix.”
I’m betting anyone saying “7-11 lied” had never seen the bag.
I wonder if I’ve ever had a green onion, or if they’ve been palming off scallions on me all these years.
Exactly, they’re called cantaloupes because they were first popularized in Cantalupo, an area near Rome. What we eat in the States (and elsewhere in the world) isn’t the melon that was grown there, or even a descendent of the melons grown there, it’s just a related melon that is similarly colored.
People are scared of an FDA approved vaccine but will happily ingest this bag of assorted chemicals and toxic waste, which I assume the FDA approves of?
Maybe the vaccines should be artificially flavored.
Add in a couple food-grade dyes, and you might be on to something!
“Open the hangar…here comes the airplane!”
Those slutty cucurbits, just cross-pollinating every other crop within reach!
Maybe they should be required to call it wasabish.
My wife is allergic to cantaloupe.
But maybe she’s not allergic to cantaloupe. 
(Also I’m tempted to call her “muskmelon” as a pet name but I suspect I’ll end up having something thrown at me.)
I know I was confused as a kid when we stopped to eat dinner at a park in Needles on vacation, and a family from Oklahoma graciously shared their “muskmelon” with us.
They would have had to surrender it at the border into AZ anyway, but I appreciated learning the term muskmelon and eating it, too!
Your Honey-Do list will become a Honeydew lob?
And you should see what the brassicas get up to!
If I’m lucky it’ll be something as soft as that.
And be sure to include some carefully chosen and tested toxic waste, and be sure it’s well-publicized. The anti-vaxxers will love it! Pandemic cured!
Just put bleach in the vaccine.
No, it’s real enough – you just can’t get any easily on this continent. It’s rather like absinth.
Penzeys used to have pure wasabi at a price approaching saffron but dropped it a few years ago. In the description they warned it didn’t taste like the stuff you were used to.
All they offer now is “Natural Wasabi” which does have some, but pretty far down the list of ingredients, between citric and ascorbic acid.
A vaccine made up of Fauci’s Trademark Secret Formula of bleach, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, dihydrogen monoxide, and monosodium glutamate.
Why not just vax us all with a shot of Kickapoo Joy Juice?
TIL that KJJ is still being made in Atlanta.
