I have some Chinese friends and went to visit China. They love oranages especially mandarin oranges. It’s almost like a desert or sweet snack to them. They have bowls of it and it’s what guy offer guest instead of chocolates or chips or whatever snacks are offered in the USA

100%. I’m in Chicago and I’m sure most of the US store bought peaches are the same — somewhat bland or acidic. But we have farmers market and some people like me also go to Michigan durian the summer and you can get fresh grown peaches. THOSE are great and I buy them when I can. I never buy supermarket peaches — never had a truly good one

Why are even the lower cost fruit options so expensive?? It was listed often as “price for each” but did they mean it was the price per kg? Of per .5kg?

@sirmione905 OP was full of it. I think they looked at only the value of the land and not the total price in doing the house. But people liked it because hey, we can’t use our brains here!

Southern USA loves watermelons too. Well, all over the US but even more in the south. Apples and oranges tend to be more popular in the north than south. Watermelons in the US are usually sold per unit and not weight and if it’s in season, they go for $5-$7 for the larger watermelons. My guess on weight is 10-15lbs or 4-6kg. They also sell smaller more round watermelons (larger tend to be oval). They sell for $3-$6 in season and weigh 5-10lbs or 2-4kg.

Expensive fruit even for the cheap option. For comparison on prices, here is what I typically see for pricing on the standard/regular when in season of each fruit in the video: cherries: $2-$3.50 per pound or $4-$7 per kg (in the video, $5 for what looks like less than 1lb or 0.5kg) cantaloupe melon: $2-$3 each ($7 in the video) mandarin oranges: $1-$1.50 oer pound or $2.50-$3.50 per kg ($1.20 for what looks to be close to one pound or half kg) Peaches: $3 per pound or $6-$7 per kg ($2.80 for 1 piece which probably 2 to 2.5 pieces per lb for $6-$8 per pound price) Watermelon: $3-$5 for one piece similar in size to the cheaper option ($4 in the video) Apples: $1-$1.75 per pound depending on variety or $2-$4 per kg ($1.20 for 1 apple which would be about $2.40-$3.00 per pound)
