Yesterday I was eating the most magnificent food, the grape, when I discovered a VERY odd looking grape. It was so weird, I decieded I should make a contest for people to try to find the weirdest produce they can. I will be the judge based on 2 catagories each worth 10 points:

1) Weirdness of produce 10 being best 1 being worst
2) Your connection to produce (did you grow it, buy it, see it online etc.) 10 for growing it 1 for faking it

Here is mine:

Edit: I forgot to score myself...
Weirdness: 7
Connection: 8 (purchasing the item unknowingly)
Total: 15

My entry.
I'd give it a 9.

That would be a total of 15, correct?

Could you please add more details such as what it is and how you obtained the photo so I can score that part?

The photo is of some weird kind of plant found in Hawaii. I obtained it because my grandparents live in Hawaii and I gave the photo to someone else (I forgot who, but I'm sure I could remember if I had to) who hosted it on the internet cause its so great.

I'd like to thank all of you who made this possible by having your produce look normal, and I'd like to thank whatever kind of scary thingy I found in Hawaii for being my friend. Thank you.
