Dr. Carolyn tomatoes at Trader Joe's

[HudsonValley]

I giggled in the produce aisle of Trader Joe's today when I saw the prices for heirloom tomatoes. A 2.25 lb. container was $6.99. A 1 lb. container of mini heirlooms was $3.49. When I got home I read the store's "Fearless Flyer," and saw that the mini heirlooms are describing as having "fabulous names like Dr. Carolyn, Chadwick Cherry, Orange Flame, Sugar Snack, and Thai Grape, to name just a few." See photo attached. Despite the absurd prices, the mention of the fabulous Dr. Carolyn (or at least her namesake variety) made me happy to be a member of Tomatoville.
