Man! Look at this HUGE blueberry!

Here it is next to an average blueberry.
It's so big I might have to just cut off a piece and save the rest for later.

That there, is like some next-level genetical experimentation, run amok.

Heather said...

You do not know how badly I would love a blueberry like that. It's kind of Willy Wonka-ish LOL

Kara said...

It's a mutant!!!

Hold Still For A Minute... said...

Ok - What part of the island did THAT come from? LOL! When I was in China they had big produce like that - but they also didn't regulate farming that much so we were never sure how they got that big exactly... Enjoy!

Lynn Faruque said...

Good thing they are so good for you. Superfood.

Unknown said...

Wow! My daughter would love to eat that. She might have even tried to eat all of it at once.

Unknown said...

That is insane.

Karina said...

Did it taste the same?

Tracey said...

There is something weird about that first photograph. It looks like the berries are floating there.

Unknown said...

OMG Man!

Was it nice? It seems a bit weird...

Your fan ;)

to be able to wedge a blueberry is pretty awesome.

islandgirl4ever2 said...

John said...

Is that real? It looks like you might be having fun with your camera :-)

Unknown said...

Where did you get that HuGo Mungo blueberry? Was it good. Were there more of them. Enquiring minds what to know. Peace out.

zeldamac said...

was it full of yummy blueberry-ness or watery?!

BrandyLiz said...

Wow...that's pretty impressive! Makes the blueberries in my fridge look sad. But, I've got some basil leaves that would blow your mind!

Anonymous said...

WOW! How did it rank in flavor/consistency with the regular berry? From my experience the bigger they are the less tasty & firm they tend to be...Where did you find that thing!?!

crunchyveganwifelife said...

Where did you get that huge blueberry! It is awesome!!!
YummY!!!!!!!!LOL

Meredith etc said...

Don’t eat that whole berry!! You’ll spoil your dinner!!!

moon said...

Someone's been brushing up on their photoshop skillz :D

Seriously, it was really that big? Did it taste OK?

Justin Shady said...

That's not a blueberry, dude. It's a HLUGEBERRY!

Niki said...

I literally LOL'd.

RHulsey said...

That is an amazingly giant-sized fruit. I would enter it in the county fair if I were you.

This made me laugh. And then it made me homesick. I grew up on a blueberry farm, and people never believe me when I tell them how big blueberries can get.

Sunshine and Pigtails said...

Oh my!! That is huge! I love blueberries. Your so funny and the best!!

Doug and Amanda said...

Dude, I like blueberries on my oatmeal in the morning, but that is a little out of control! Good find!

Mobile Matt said...

The Island made it bigger...

Unknown said...

I laughed out loud.

Did you put the leftover blueberry in a tiny baggie before sticking it back in the fridge?

Kelly Deneen Raymond said...

I don't know if I would actually eat that. ha!!

Kristianna said...

Was that in a regular pint container of berries? Yikes! My youngest would eat it like a plum--with delight. :)

James Hernandez said...

Jorge,

Generally the bigger blueberries are not as sweet. But I've never had a Hawaiian blueberry - do they mix it with Hawaiian black? :P

Suz said...

Oh noes! You just ate Violet Beauregard! Aieeeee! ;)

evielilly815 said...

You could make a pie out of that one blueberry.

"It was such a joy raising Pacman, with his happy yellow personality. Unlike his older brother, who was always so sullen, and complained of feeling blue."

Guess that radioactive fertilizer works ....

Jules said...

Would you like me to read your palm from that pic?

Gillian Whitfield said...

WOW! Huge much? That being said, I had a baby carrot that was like, 6 or 7 inches long.

Paul Spooner said...

Once when I was teaching a photography class to a load of media types in Leeds, I accidentially called someones Blackberry (as in the phone) a Blueberry... I swear they nearly pissed themselves laughing at me... Consequently, I hate both black and blue berries...

Miss Scarlett said...

Whoa!
Did you grow this?

You have a seriously sharp knife mr!

yellowdoggranny said...

Tyler Heasley said...

Wow. This proves blueberries are awesome. You know, you seem like the kind of guy who would like my brother's Web comic: http://zudacomics.com/node/1759, which is in for a competition right now.

g said...

Is that a Dharma berry ???

Mommycosm said...

YUM. We have big ones like that from Maine in the summertime. I bet it was really sweet :)

Mom2haylil said...

Maybe you should not have eaten it. But Dawn Wells does seem like a likely guest star if you are dealing with radioactive fruits.....
