People usually buy food to eat it. But Chen Guoping from Dongzhuangqiao, Zhejiang province, China, bought a tomato at a market recently because of how it looked, not because of how it might taste. That’s because the tomato was in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s head. With two “ears” on top, it even had a “nose”, which was actually the bottom part of the tomato, andan “eye”, a natural-looking dent, on the left side. Chen says: “It looks so much like a mouse head that I bought it without hesitation. It looks very funny.” What better excuse not to eat your vegetables than to say that it would destroy a natural work of art?
