Pomegranates

I secretly believe that pomegranates are an alien species slowly trying to take over Earth. They've been laying low for years and years, just biding their time. Then when science started talking about free radicals and antioxidants pomegranates decided to make their move. "Guess what?" they said. "We're chock full of antioxidants. Just test us, you'll see." And then, just like Audrey II originally planned, the takeover began. Pomegranates appeared in everything; juices, jam, body wash, lotions. Little pamphlets show up at the store on the proper way to eat then. "Oooh, we're so good for you! Check out our innocent little colorful seeds." Now we're right where they wanted us. But maybe it's not too late! Ignore those pomegranate products! Save us all! The next time you see that supposedly innocent fruit at the grocery store, in the back of your head, listen to Audrey II singing about being a big bad mother from outer space. And know she's bad.
