Cucumber Fertilized by Viagra

I went to an Asian market and saw this cucumber; it’s over 13 inches long. It looks somewhat funny and I asked the store clerk how they got it this big. He was very polite, stopped with what he was doing and smiled, “They used Viagra to grow it.,” he spoke with a thick Asian accent. If you could have seen the look on my face, I was confused, as if talking to myself, I said aloud, “Viagra? To grow this, I didn’t know they could do that.” He smiled and nodded proudly, finally something that he knew well, must have thought to himself. So, I purchased that cucumber, that’s fertilized with Viagra, I wonder what it’d taste like.
As I was driving home, I kept thinking to myself, he must have said it wrong, or did I hear him wrong. When I got home and did a little research, he actually meant Vigoro, a plant food that contains timed-release fertilizer. I guess it’s somewhat difficult to pronounce if you’re Asian, he got me there for a second, I thought I was going to have Tum Buk Tang fertilized by Viagra for dinner. ![]()






Ginger, you are ridiculously funny! Thanks for the chuckles! It makes you wonder how many of our food is fertilized by other things!
ROFL!
You got me there. LOL.
Hi guys, I find all of your comments funnier than my post. One of the reasons that I asked was because Asian people have the tendency to use pee as fertilizer but never expect to get this kind of answer back, I’m not sure if he’s pulling my legs, but he looked so sincere, and he knows me because I often go in there to buy egg roll shells and papaya.
I read in a Thai Magazine that the owner of the magazine would let his sons pee on the trees for fertilizer. His sons mentioned while growing up, if they were out and about and needed to use the bathroom, they had to wait till they get home, and it’s best to pee right at the tree. I thought it was rather odd, but also heard a lot of Lao and Hmong people do this. Here I was willing to eat cucumber fertilized by Viagra, but definitely not human pee.
Ginger, I will think of your cucumber story everytime I go buy it and if I see a big one I will wonder if it has been peed on or given some "help!" I am dramatized for life! So instead of pee um I will have cucumber umm! If I go to sleep tonight and I end up having nightmares about big cucumbers chasing me down the alley I will blame you!
Okay I will quit now! haha
Not just anything big, also if it's too green, then I'd think…any pee in this thing…lol. something to think about.
I wouldn't mind the pee part but more about the poop.
Hi Darly, I visited the Asian Market this morning and saw giant carrots, I didn't ask, afraid that he might tell me that it's from Viagra.
The poop part would be awful, nasty.
