Accentuate the Positive




All natural, no seeds, available all year,
easy to peel.

What's not to like, Kids love them. Cuties.
A very successful advertising campaign to get Kids to eat fresh fruit.  




Grownups like them too. 

Have a great weekend my dear 
Blogging Friends.

  4. Hi Gina, and Cuties are the best fruit to come about in a very long time. So easy to peel, so easy to pop i for a snack, and so good for you. We love them and try to get in 1, or 2 a day. Lovely image shares. Happy week~

  6. Dear Gina,
    Devouring clementines in inappropriate quantities is one of the winter rituals our family enjoys most! At this time of year, we tend to hibernate and watch lots of movies with the boys, and there are always large piles of clementines involved... We jokingly say that there's no chance of scurvy during the winter in our house!
    As always, your photos are beautiful-- I love the combination of the bright orange with the colors in your pottery.
    Warm regards,
    Erika

    1. Dear Erika, how right you are, "devouring clentines in inappropriate quantities". We have done more hibernating this winter than ever before. It is just too cold outside. Having these pretty little orange burst of flavor around does remind one of sunnier days to come. ox, Gina

  8. Hello Anti, It is so wonderful that the "Cutie" ads have involved children. So many children don't know where most of the vegetables and fruits come from. Not only that, most can't identify them. And, welcome to my blog and thank you for your compliment. Have a great week. ox, Gina

  14. OK...so now you're going to think I'm extra weird: I have NEVER eaten a Cutie! Never! I don't know why not. I feel so ashamed. I think I need to go back and do my childhood all over again. Can I do that? Are do overs allowed? :-) The depth of the colors in your photos is just astonishing, Gina. I mean...it just has the same effect as HD on a TV. It's like I could just reach into the screen and touch everything like it's real. SO pretty!!!!!!!!! Nappy New Year, sweet girl! I hope 2013 brings pure joy and comfort your way.

  15. Dear Alycia, No need to start from the beginning. Cuties have not been on the market for very long. Some people call them clementines. I think that it was a brilliant marketing ploy...getting kids to eat them. Such a good idea in this influenza outbreak.
    Thank you for your visit and lovely comment. It is so appreciated. ox, Gina
