Would a grape eater be in breach if a grape seed sprouted from his or her poo a few days after enjoying said grape?
Are sanitation departments at risk of contributory infringement depending how they process and dispose of sewage containing grape remnants?
- royletron 6y agoI am so glad I wasn't the only person that questioned this. Also in relation to another story I saw that had found tomato plants growing on railways - and found these due to the onboard toilets dumping their contents directly on the line. The assumption being the commuters ate a lot of cheese & tomato sandwiches. Does this mean disaster is inevitable?!
- cmrdporcupine 6y agoa) It's seedless, so wouldn't happen. b) Grapes don't grow like that. They are a perennial hardwood species and need a cold stratification period before they are viable. So you'd need to poo somewhere where the seed sat over the winter and came up the following spring. Most vines in the wild grow from clones from the sprawling parent, with seed being spread by birds. c) Don't think the company cares about you. They're worried about large farms in the central valley etc. propagating without license. As I've said elsewhere in this thread I'm not sure why they bothered printing this on the package that consumers see. Propagation agreements are very common.
- dghf 6y ago> It's seedless, so wouldn't happen. So why are seeds explicitly mentioned in the EULA? (Also, why is "but not limited to" in quotation marks?)
- cmrdporcupine 6y agoWhy are seeds mentioned? I dunno, CYA I guess. It's a silly message.
