5. In many liquor stores you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way.
How did the pear get inside the bottle? :confused:

Did they place the pear on top of the bottle and heat it from underneath? Causing the pear to be drawn into the bottle?

You put the bottle over the end of a branch with a bud on, and the pear grows inside - I tried this one year with my pear tree and all I got was bottles full of mushy pears and angry wasps.....

......serves me right for imprisoning poor defenseless baby pears in bottles I s'pose :confused:
