> While at the general store, Sam bought 24 "Strawberry Hullers" to give out as weird Rink presents at the convention. Apparently, these contraptions are used to pull the green part off strawberries, although I'm not sure why fingers can't do the same job. The lady behind the counter thought we were odd but rang up the purchase, commenting on the fact that a Strawberry Huller is always a very useful thing to have. We got to the car and suddenly forgot what they were called, so I ran back into the store to check. The lady thought that was even more odd, but then she offered to write it down for me. I politely refused.

Hulling strawberries with your bare fingers is difficult. You need to twist the green bit just exactly right for the hull to come out. 99% of the time I just manage to pull of the leaf.

I've never imagined that there was some kind of mechanical device to help with this. If anyone wants to send me one, I would be etenally grateful :)
