People Are Losing Their Sh*t Over Pre-Peeled Avocados

First there were pre-peeled oranges and now avocados. 

It looks like stores don't want you peeling your own fruit now. 

Mashable explained that a shopper spotted the below and was a bit taken aback so she posted it on Facebook with the caption "fresh"...

Her friend saw it and posted it straight to the shop's (Sobeys) Facebook page.

She wrote: “Surprised and disappointed after a friend posted a picture of an avocado for sale at his local Sobeys in Thornhill, ON. It’s been precut, then wrapped in plastic and cardboard. Avocado’s have their own perfect, compostable, wrapping. Adding packaging to an avocado is strange to say the least. This is wasteful and I’m curious about the reasoning for Sobeys stocking avocodo this way? Looking forward to a response. Thank you.”

Some people were also outraged but others pointed out there could be good reasons for this like people who suffer disabilities and arthritis.

However, Sobey’s did not mention this specific reason in their response, which reads, “Thanks for sharing this with us Christine. This product was developed for people who might be new to using avocados and for a little more convenience. It eliminates the guess work when it comes to ripeness and any challenges if you are not familiar with peeling and seeding a fresh avocado. The packaging is there to keep the fresh wholesome appearance and quality of the avocado without it browning prior to consumption.
