With the improvements in Playero, I thought that the days of fruit and veg having the bad side hidden underneath on the produce trays were long gone. But today I bought 4 corn on the cob prepacked and they looked fine. On unpacking them to cook for dinner I find that one is rotten and another damaged, but all hidden underneath. Now I do not live in Sosua, so do I a) stop cooking dinner for the family, get the car out and drive to Sosua? b) wait until I next go to Playero ( who knows what state the corn will be in by then)? c) Suck it up and put it down to life here? Right now I am a tad annoyed (understatement)!

I understand. Sometimes I buy corn on the cob with the husk on in the US at farm stands. When I get home and husk the corn to cook, there are sometimes worms under the husk and the corn is rotten.
I know that Playero corn is not in the husk. Perhaps what you bought was a day or two old. Sometimes these things happen, even in good grocery stores and farm stands. If others on this thread had similar experiences, then I would recommend someone giving Playero the feedback. I know Playero appreciates feedback and often responds.

Healthy Stuff
Live worms are a good sign that the corn was not excessively treated with pesticides... :classic:
Eat the corn with or without the worms.
Whichever, it's healthy stuff. :bunny:

i wrote about my experience of taking bad product back to a local supermarket (jose luis in POP). so i suggest you put the corn away in its packaging and a bill (if you still have it) and take it to playero next time you do the shopping. you never know, maybe their response will be decent. let us know either way.
Next time open the package and inspect the corn before before you buy it. Have you noticed they never put the unripened strawberries on top of the deep red ones?
Puhleeeze...
I buy them roadside here in Canada.... some are wormed
fresh veg can be contaminated.... no pesticides makes it worse
go back... complain .... and buy more....
#1 RD rule... check it & check it again

"They don't have a decent piece of fruit at the supermarket. The apples are mealy, the oranges are dry... I don't know what's going on with the papayas!"

the tree that has the shorter, fatter bananas is really good... you need to look for them
my people bring them to me... excellent, those little fat ones... a bit sweeter
I am a banana lover too

Have you noticed that they hardly ever pick ripe strawberries here? They taste horrible any way.

I think I was just riled to think we were back in the bad old days when Playero regularly packed produce with the rotten side underneath where you couldn't see the damage. Not worth my while getting the jeep out to drive back there - just a reminder to buy my produce loose!!
