Pluots - a strange fruit on sale at Plus stores

So, as today's random bit of information:

Yesterday I discovered there is a new fruit out there. They are called "Pluots" and are cross between plums and apricots. I hmmed at the knowledge and promptly forgot it. Until, lo and behold, before my very eyes, I found Pluots for sale at Plus! I probably wouldn't have noticed them or bothered to buy them to try out if I hadn't just yesterday heard about them.

Anyways, they are quite tasty. The flesh and skin is the consistency of a plum, but with the sweetness of a ripe apricot. As I don't like the feel of raw apricots in my mouth (cooked is fine), this makes a nice substitute.

Wikipedia's info on pluots

Pluots are delicious. I first found them at Central Market in Austin, although they called them Dinosaur Eggs. Mmmm eggs. Good find!

On the carton it says Pluot in big, followed by brontosaurus egg, so keeping with the dino trend.

isn't the brontosaurus the one that's doesn't exist? that they changed the name of -- officially -- in like 1910, but everyone still calls it a brontosaurus?

(note the clever avoidance of the confusing plural!)

I think ApriCums would have been a better name.
