Apples for the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit
Posted by Matt Dioguardi on October 16th, 2007
If you didn’t know already, the 2008 G8 summit will be held in Toyako, Hokkaido. Here’s the link.
Now let me ask you this, what is the man below doing?
He’s putting transparent seals on everyone of his apples. These seals have printed on them in black, “‘08 Toyako Summit Sobetsu”. Once these apples have reddened he will remove the seals, and if things go according to plan, the part of the apple skin under the black letters will not have changed to red. The apples will then appear to have naturally grown with the green label “‘08 Toyako Summit Sobetsu” already there. Quite clever. (From the Asahi Shimbun.)

What? Does he think the protestors will be hungry?
If these apples mature in November, then how are they going to stay fresh until next summer? Will they freeze the apples?
