I see those “fruit trays” served at meetings or parties fairly often. They consist of about equal volumes of four sliced, peeled fruit: pineapples, strawberries, melons and cantaloupes. And always, always the melons and the cantaloupes are left behind. I don’t understand why people haven’t figured out that nobody likes melons. Why not put more pineapples and strawberries relative to the rest (and adjust the price respectively)?

It seems like there is some kind of unspoken agreement between everyone that there’s going to be melons on those trays. Or perhaps the melon lobbyists are very powerful. Nobody knows.
