Broken: Box of "Trout" apples
Neale McDavitt doesn't like his box of apples.
This isn't broken. It says in distinct letters "Apple." If people can't read, that's their problem. Idiots.
/sarcasm
Mmmm, trouty goodness.
Reminds me of the old anictdote about the Korean couple who go food shopping.
In Korea supposably the picture on package is what's in the box, so they buy some dog food thinking it's "spicy meat", but are horrified by the people buying all of the Gerber babyfood.
I just thought of what would be more broken.
Razorblade Apples with a logo of a straight razorblade. It would get your attention, but probably not sell too many apples.
You all are in rare form today...those have to be some of the funniest comments ever. I say definitely broken...though Trout, unappetizing as it may be, is probably the name of the orchard owner.
I haven't eaten an apple since i got braces, so i'd have to say trout is more appetizing to me too. Anyway, how are these apples from Lake Chelan? Shouldn't they be labeled 'HYDROPONICALLY GROWN' in that case?
I'd assume trout fried in apples would be pretty good.
Reminds me of the vegetarian friend who had to go out of his way to find a microwave oven that didn't have a picture of a lump of meat and a fish on it. The one with popcorn had to do.
I don't think he'd buy these apples either.

What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Finding a trout!
