My issue is the fruit goes bad faster than I can eat it all.

I'll buy a 3 kilo bag of apples, eat an apple every day, and still be left with 5 rotten apples.

I keep apples in my fridge and they generally stay good way, way, way longer than expected, it's nuts. I'm talking 6 weeks or more.

Yeah, the comic takes place in an hour.

The guy just can will a beard into existence.

Why else do you think they wear the same clothes in every panel?

Damn. I wish I had his beard power. I can't even grow a proper beard after two years of no shaving.

Even if bulk is a few cents cheaper, this is why I buy loose fruit.

I did buy bulk pears, but after snacking and there's 5-8 left, I made Chef John's pear Clafoutis dessert. Leftover fruit is dessert.

It helps to have a garbage disposal of a kid around too

Here in Denmark bulk is not a few cents cheaper, unfortunately.

Next time you buy 3kg of apples, you could give away the 5 apples or make apple juice or a dish out of them before they go bad.
