UK - Two Limes = Weapon

[Gunreference1]

You can't buy that lime... it could be classed as a weapon: Shock for chef shopping at Asda

'They vetted me and let me buy them. I clearly don't look like I'm going to carry out a drive-by fruiting any time soon'

Store to offer 'complimentary limes' as an apology

A chef was stunned to find she was almost banned from buying two limes from a supermarket - because they could be classed as a weapon.

Marisa Zoccolan, 31, popped into the new Asda supermarket close to her home in Wallsend, North Tyneside, to pick up some groceries, including the citrus fruits.

But when she tried to pay for them at the self-service checkout, the message 'amount exceeded, authorisation required' flashed up.

Don't they realize that when you outlaw fruit, only outlaws will have fruit? The idiots.

Because squirting the juice is a weapon? Doesn't one lime have enough juice for a squirt?

They don't call them Limeys for no reason! LOL.


Limey is an old slang nickname, often pejorative, for the British, originally referring to their sailors. The term is believed to derive from Lime (fruit), referring to the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy practice of supplying lime juice to British sailors to prevent scurvy. The benefits of citrus juice were well known at the time thanks to the acute observations of surgeon James Lind who studied the effects of citrus on scurvy in 1747.
