Yeah, I'd bet that some of them don't last as long as the standard red tomatoes that you get in the store, but looking through heirloom tomatoes is kind of a trip, from a visual standpoint. Grocery stores seem to have pretty much standardized on about three red ones -- and I'm not saying that they're bad, but it does kind of mean that people don't get to see a lot of variety. Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of just eating tomatoes plain, so never got super-interested in obtaining them, but they do look damned cool.
