    I always thought Cantaloupe would be a great band name

    Wow that's awful. I have noticed the smell of the melons have changed a lot, almost a garbage smell to them now, which stopped me from getting them.

    Yeah, this is scary. 2 people have died locally.

    I love cantaloupe its about the only fruit I eat ...

    when the spinach thing happened I stopped buying for a pretty long time but we've resumed eating it.

    2 meat recalls also last week and now today for e coli :evil:

    I too have noticed that melons have degraded in flavor over the years...

    love cantaloupe with vanilla ice cream... :(
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I've had some cantaloupes that may have been worth dying for.... :?

    That was in bad taste. Looks like I'm done buying cantaloupe for a bit.
