From NetEase:
I remember many years ago, there was a post on the internet called “Bought a watermelon to bring home, but after cutting it open, the entire family cried.” After seeing the picture in that post [above picture], I laughed until my liver hurt.
This post’s high hit rate is unexpected, so to avoid unnecessary hassles, I want to state here:
1. These pictures have not been PS [Photoshopped], or otherwise altered;
1. I am not an internet spy, no ill intent to defame agricultural produce;
3. No ill-intent to slander the supermarket;
4. The incident is amusing, I just want to share it with everyone.
Yesterday, my wife passed by Wulumuqi Henan East Road XXX supermarket, went in, looked around, and discovered several special priced fruit. There was nothing wrong with their appearance or packaging, so she selected a pomelo, bought it, and brought it home in preparation for everyone to enjoy and savor it.
Today, we opened that specially priced pomelo, and the entire family all laughed…
Comments from NetEase:
The result of being cheap. Did you not use your toe to think what kind of pomelo 1 RMB can buy?
This is maybe a one in a hundred million occurance…
…and it happened to you.
Quickly go buy a lottery ticket.
I would rather see your entire family’s laughing PP [picture].
Stop laughing, okay? Do not laugh at “other people’s” misery. It was difficult enough just to grow to this point!
[referring to the pomelo]
This is a pomelo in pregnancy.
Too hilarious, my superior looked at me for laughing out loud, but he ended up wildly laughing out loud too.
That pomelo has too much personality.
Comments from KDNet:
Clearly it is an orange!
Haha!!! Great deal, 2 RMB for a big laugh, helps the body stay healthy!
A pomelo with Chinese characteristics.
Magical land can only have magical pomelo.
“Dao“, almost chocked–was just drinking tea.
Could it be nationally exempt?
[One of the reasons why many people were angry about the Sanlu fake milk powder incident was because it said it was so good and safe that the government exempted it from inspection.]
Comments from Douban:
Quickly go apply for a Guiness world record.
Wahahahahahaha~~~
Hahaha…
The weather was too cold…the pomelo wore too much…
囧了…
The pomelo is even more amusing/funny hahahahahaha

I love yodza, but this…. This fruit didn’t had enough water or sun or , most likely, dirt is not fertile.
LOL…..
so 囧rz….
LOL, that’s awesome.
I’m properly amused.
Well, has it been tested by the authorities
that its not some kind of accidental mutation of some toxic contamination???
If its just some nutty farmer experimenting with various species, that should be OK. But who knows where and how it was grown.
It needs proper labelling and information about the farm produce.
the pulp looks like a kidney, at first glimpse I thought its abdominal anatomy.
We can call it the Baboon Arse pomelo in the best Cantonese tradition, along with pissing prawns and chicken shit fruit (translated from Cantonese), LOL!
This kinda story is hilarious, but have to wonder whether they’re growing some kind of intentionally fucked up fruit with some seedy intentions or whether the farmers just got fucked over and are trying to pass it along – also whether the whole batch is fucked up like that or just select ones…since it’s “specially priced fruit” and was a few of the items I’d assume it was a bunch.
Melanine pomelo.
@Rick: Conspiracy theorize much? :-) What benefit would there be to grow intentionally crappy fruit over good fruit? I’m betting they were just a bad batch (or byproduct) from farmers using growth hormones in their fruit.
I’m also guessing they just passed it off to the produce buyer for the supermarket is “lower grade” and sold it real cheap knowing otherwise it would just rot. Supermarkets, always looking to make a deal, would have happily grabbed the ultra cheap fruit, likely unaware of how “low grade” it actually was.
What benefit would there be to grow intentionally crappy fruit over good fruit?
What benefit is there in watering down milk? Money, same as always. If there’s a cheap chemical that will make unfertile land produce this sort of fruit, versus expensive fertilizer that would make better fruit… you see where I’m going with this.
Find the yodza!
