Genius! They're actually not buddhas i dont think. I think its a reference to a legend about a tree that gave off fruit shaped like little men and eaten them gave you long life. Pretty cool to look at, you'd think someone would have thought of it sooner

I don't want to eat anything like that.

Why not? It's not like it's not a pear any more.

You put a container around the fruit while its small and it grows into form, same way the get a peach in those vodka bottles.
