Don’t know what got into me, I craved the things. Had a few atop the non-side by side fridgey/freezer unit. I just downed three of the things. I never consumed more than one of the curious fruits in a sitting. Should I expect anything out of the ordinary?
I googled pomegranate poisoning and found this so I guess you’re safe.
Safe!?!?!?
The link says the things are high in anti-oxidants. I beg of you, what am I to be reduced to?
I bet the ahem end products may be rather festive.
A winter in Hades, perhaps?
I just checked the entire list. It says
It lessens blood clotting. Might I exsanguinate?
This thread reminded me that I had an extra pomegranate in my fridge from a week or so ago.
Alas, it is to late for it, the poor fridge conditions have taken their toll.
My blood is free the clot as it wishes.
Might I pester you for a pint or more to dilute out my overly anti-cougulated fluids?
I hate you. I opened this thread just to make that joke.
Choosybeggar whooshed.
In Greek mythology, Hades, the lord of the underworld kidnapped Persephone, the daughter of Ceres, the goddess of crops, to make her his wife. Struck with grief, Ceres neglected her job and searched the Earth for months trying to find her daughter before eventually being told by Zeus what had happened.
Upon learning her daughter’s fate, she stormed Hades (the underworld, not the god) and demanded her daughter back but unbeknownst to her, Hades (the god) had tricked Persephone into eating four pomegranates which meant she would be forced to stay with Hades for all eternity since eating the Underworld’s food chained you to it.
Ceres begged and pleaded with Zeus to let her daughter come back to Earth with her while Hades demanded she stay. Striking a compromise, Zeus said she would have to live in Hades one month for every pomegranate eaten and that is how Winter came to be.
Damn, even when posting silliness I learn. Very interesting.
