Me too and have done since they were introduced. Funny how some people think that because they are not "perfect" that they must not be OK for consumption.

You'd be surprised by some of the comments from people seeing me buying them.

My father tapping the window and showing me a freshly pulled bunch of radishes.

Yes. Just bought a bag of mis-shapen peppers at New World. Taste the same.

Sold dirt cheap to food processing companies for pies and pizzas.
We eat it eventually!

Basically it comes down to supermarkets being evil bastards. They were grown in the same farm as the others and are exactly the same.
