Fruit cocktail is the people’s fruit. It doesn’t pretend to be gourmet. It sits in a can, unapologetic, waiting for you to be hungry.
It’s cheap. It’s cheerful. It’s always there for you—even when the fridge is empty and the power is out.
So next time you pop open a can, raise a spoon. Salute the canned oddity. Long live the cocktail.
And yes, you can eat it with a fork. But a straw? Pure genius.
