Clementines Vent...

I love Clementines but WHY do they only come in CARTON size?

I get through half of them and then the rest are rotten.

Is it too much to ask the Clementine growers to make a 6 pack?

Re: Clementines Vent...

I find if I remove the clementines from the wood box and place them in my efrig hydrater they last a few days longer. I bought a box a few weeks ago and only 1 went bad, so this is what we're doing for now on.

Re: Clementines Vent...

They get you to spend more money if you have to buy larger quantities. I dont think it would be cost effective for the clementine industry to package them in any other way.

I was just complaining to my inlaws the other night about the SAME THING. It annoys the heck out of me. My MIL said we could split one.

I'm going to have to start finding someone to "invest" in them with me then!

If you need to find me, I'll be the strange lady in the produce aisle begging people to split a carton of clementines!! Chat Icon
