It does feel good.

I don't think you need to be a vegetable to enjoy a nice mist.

The equivalent for a person would be decapitated heads in the shower.

Spritz me harder daddy

They hate it, one even tried to chase me but luckily I picked up the wooden ramp before I got out of the store.

It's actually not even good for them. It's entirely for the presentation to the humans that buy them. It makes them spoil quicker and is also just a waste of water.

On the upside: They feel pretty good as a human on a hot day.

It probably feels a lot more like this

Contrary to what you may believe, you don't have to envy these vegetables and can indeed take a shower yourself.

Peppers and cucumbers are the traumatic forced abortions of the plant world. Broccoli and cauliflower are the amputated sex organs of the plants that were cut from their bodies. Celery, brussel sprouts, and artichokes are severed limbs of plants. This is a literal mass grave of dead and dying vegetation, an alter to the horrific mutilation and abuse perpetrated on an entire kingdom of life by humans. A final act of humiliation before we condemn them to the hell of cooking and consumption. I doubt the spray mist provides much comfort.

we had these 20 years ago in my country. but these got removed because they create bacteria and lower shelf life by a lot. nothing good about them at all. just extra cost and work.

Be the vegetable you want to be

I've been on some patios in the summer that actually do this. It does feel very good.

I haven't seen these for over a decade now, they used to be in most stores but it was pretty obvious it created a lot of issues because of all the "moistness". Good that they got rid of it, at least here in Sweden.

As a child I used to be borderline obsessed with the misters and the overall smell and vibe of the produce sections. Always told my mom I wanted to work in one. Thirty years later, purely by circumstance, I manage one for a living. It's not quite what I dreamed of, given that stores in 2025 are no longer poorly lit nor smell like mothballs and old air conditioning/refrigerant, but I still enjoy my career.

I buy all my fruits and veggies straight from the orchard, farm stands or the Amish. Often the products are dirty, have flaws, uneven shapes and varying states of ripeness. I can pay .90 for a cucumber at the store or, five for a dollar at the stand or, pick my own at the Amish farm for .10 a piece. I haven't shopped in a store since the Covid price hikes. I now eat better, lost weight, cholesterol, sugar and BP all down. I also planted my own berries, plum and apple trees. Cannabis, too. I can wash my own damn fruit. Just say no to corporate greed.

As a young adult of the 90's all I see here is Legionnaire's disease.
