Speaker A:

Hey, Stack.

Speaker A:

And you may have seen this viral post in Australia.

Speaker A:

A customer buys a bag of lettuce and finds a live frog inside.

Speaker A:

Which is the freshest salad ever.

Speaker A:

I guess.

Speaker A:

I mean, you know how grocery stores love to advertise freshness, Freshness from farm to table.

Speaker A:

This one went from swamp to crispr drawer.

Speaker A:

And of course it's Australia.

Speaker A:

So they, they named the frog.

Speaker A:

Australians name animals the same way dads name coworkers.

Speaker A:

Oh crikey.

Speaker A:

I found this little bloke in the lettuce.

Speaker A:

That's Greg.

Speaker A:

Now it's Greg.

Speaker A:

I love that nobody panicked either.

Speaker A:

If this happens anywhere else on the planet, people are screaming in Australian.

Speaker A:

Yeah, there's a frog in me salad.

Speaker A:

Anyway, that country has the calmest reaction to the most terrifying wildlife.

Speaker A:

An Australian could open a cereal box and find a king cobra wearing sunglasses.

Speaker A:

Ah, Steve's gotten into the Wheaties again.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

No, that, that ended up kind of British, didn't it?

Speaker A:

The frog was apparently the size of the guy's palm.

Speaker A:

That's not a tiny frog.

Speaker A:

That's not a little cute.

Speaker A:

Cute surprise.

Speaker A:

That's a roommate.

Speaker A:

Imagine opening a bag of lettuce late at night, trying to make a healthy dinner for once, turn your life around.

Speaker A:

You pull out a leaf and suddenly something blinks at you.

Speaker A:

At that point, it's over.

Speaker A:

I'm ordering pizza.

Speaker A:

The frog one.

Speaker A:

The kitchen belongs to Greg now.

Speaker A:

And apparently Greg is a genius.

Speaker A:

I mean, hiding in lettuce is smart.

Speaker A:

Nobody checks lettuce thoroughly.

Speaker A:

Lettuce is the most confident of the vegetables.

Speaker A:

You inspect an avocado like you're buying diamonds.

Speaker A:

You squeeze tomatoes, melons get knocked on like apartment doors.

Speaker A:

But lettuce, just grab the bag.

Speaker A:

Let's go.

Speaker A:

The frog also survived the entire supply chain.

Speaker A:

Think about that journey.

Speaker A:

Harvested, bagged, transported, refrigerated, put on shelves under fluorescent lighting.

Speaker A:

Greg is like the bear grylls of frogs.

Speaker A:

So the, the customer ended up releasing Greg into a local dam along with the lettuce.

Speaker A:

True enough, that seems thoughtful.

Speaker A:

They don't want Greg to show up empty handed.

Speaker A:

Off you go, Greg.

Speaker A:

Take your little salad with you.

Speaker A:

Somewhere in Australia there's a frog telling unbelievable stories to other frogs.

Speaker A:

Ribbit, ribbit.

Speaker A:

You won't believe where I've been.

Speaker A:

Yeah, sure, Greg.

Speaker A:

No, seriously, humans almost ate me with vinaigrette.

Speaker A:

This is, this is probably the healthiest relationship anyone has ever had with a salad.

Speaker A:

Usually lettuce just sits in the crisper drawer until it liquefies.

Speaker A:

This bag of lettuce it provided adventure.

Speaker A:

It provided companionship and a survival story.

Speaker A:

It's not really groceries anymore.

Speaker A:

It's full on Disney Pixar produce because you know they're going to make a movie about Greg.
