Kinda Makes Ya Go Hummmmmmm

Hi All

Just came across this on the Bay.

One would think that for grapes purple mibs

would have been used. If factory made.

And all mibs would be from the same MFG>

To me it looks like a Girl Scout project??

Or arts & crafts?

Any thoughts?

Girl Scout project for sure. Maybe Brownie Scout. Looks like for the "caging" they used one of those copper wire scrubbing pads . . . kinda clever, really.

Frankly, I find the level of sexist rhetoric in this thread reprehensible . . . I mean, hey . . . Cub Scouts did arts and crafts too! LOL.

They took the item down and relisted it with additional names of makers in title - I agree HHMMMM?

Ok. Cub Scout, Boy Scout. I wouldn't take it as high as Eagle, though . . .
