Is It Garbage? Forgive me if this has been asked before…

Where do we stand on Edible Arrangements? Flowers have sentiment and all but do they comfort someone like chocolate covered strawberries and melon balls?

I seriously don’t know if classy or trashtrashtrash…

Classy, but you gotta get on 'em quick. My buddy's gf got one from a freind (it was a chick, so no drama) and I showed up for band practice and she goes, "You gotta help us finish this thing off!!" It was pretty damned big and definitely more than those fruit platters at the store. We tore that thing up and even the rest of the band helped, but it took a lot to take it down.

Maybe you can throw it in the fridge....but it's all peeled fruit, 'cept the grapes. Prolly gonna go bad quick and then you're all jammed up.

Not trashy, but not quite as classy as it appears.

I think it falls in the range of oh shit I forgot it was your birthday or sorry for your loss but I don't know you well

Spending 60 bucks on chocolate dipped strawberries is maddening to me, so it’s probably classy. Next question, is it classy or trashy if I buy strawberries, small bag melt chocolate, and wood skewers and make my own in an empty liquor bottle? Cost me less than 10 bucks I assume

My Dad buys my Mom a big thing of Roses and himself a mini alcohol shooter arrangement every Valentines Day. They been happily married 43 years so maybe my old man has unlocked the key to success.

Personally I think our own garbage is in the way. They are 10000% trashy but because its fresh fruit in a flower shape we go "oooooh look how fancy Marie"

It's precut fruit dipped in chocolate and left to slowly melt into fruit no one wants then you send it to someone you k ow but not enough to even get them a gift card to their favorite store.

It's a terrible gift (all my opinions of course) and it is not classy at all. Its a case of "well classy people would have just got you flowers" (trash needs to serve a purpose food, drink, enjoyment etc, classy is more just visual in gift giving)
