God did a whole lot of cool things...

...but imagine my surprise when the most incredible fruit I've ever had turned out to be something we made. It's called a Dinosaur Egg Pluot. Now, granted, I would have NEVER looked twice at something called a "pluot" that I had never seen or heard of before. And if it hadn't been for the markered sign above it with the elusive "Dinosaur Egg" heading I would still be living there. Dinosaur Egg. That's all I saw. I don't remember anything after that except being back in the CVS breakroom eating one. 

I did a real small amount of computer research to bring to you a little Pluot history. Don't worry, though, because I just did a little research because I didn't want to get bored.

Pluots were commercially sold for the first time in 1989. Pluots are 30% plum and 70% apricot. (Warning: Opinion Ahead) I like neither plums nor apricots. Floyd Zaiger was a California fruit-breeder who developed the pluot because he thought the "plumcot" (50% plum, 50% apricot) tasted like ass. Well, not really, I think he just thought he could do it better than Luther Burbank, the father of the plumcot. Which I can understand because I'm already thinking about making a 50% pluot and 50% plumcot.....I call it the PLUOTCOT. :::cue the Frankenstein music::: Social science majors can do all KINDS of stuff now.
