Back around 1972, a lady friend of mine who liked to smoke weed,
got the 'munchies' and ate a box full of prunes.

She said they tasted so good she couldn't stop.

Apparently it was a very moving experience.

Green, red, rose, those big black ones with the seeds. YES
I wish they came as smaller packages though.
If I ate them all in a couple of days, before they turned mushy, I'd blow through my TP stash.

Medjool dates. Suck all the flavor out of the pit -- yum
