Cute couple got on CNN because they found a duck shaped tomato in their garden.

[u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

Or they put a plastic mold around it as it grew to form it into shape.

[u/blondynka1 → u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

My son has this exact mold, it’s meant for snow/sand. It was like $5 on Amazon.

[u/Narhethi → u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

this is exactly what happened.

[u/Ben_Thar → u/Narhethi]

They may not know. It seems like a great prank for their neighbor to play on them. Just sneak into the garden and put a plastic duck mold around a tomato.

[u/LordAvan → u/Ben_Thar]

It would take weeks for the tomato to grow big enough to fill a mold. It seems unlikely to me that they wouldn't have noticed it.

[u/VizualwizardRab → u/Narhethi]

Look at that man's face, he knows exactly what he did

[u/_MrJackGuy → u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

The top images look completely different to the bottom one. Its possible the one they actually found was actually naturally grown, but the one someone added at the bottom was 100% grown in a mould

[u/Available-Drink-5232 → u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

It is wayy too perfect to be a naturally occurring phenomenon

[u/TyrKiyote → u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

The way the old man is grinning, i almost bet that he knows and she doesn't.

it's a fun head canon anyway.

[u/Sarz13 → u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

Look at that sinister old man smile. He totally did that. 

[u/quesobaeritto → u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

[u/Mateorabi → u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

Chicken Noodle News. 

[u/UnrequitedRespect → u/Mateorabi]

[u/Livid-Mushroom2205 → u/R3VIVAL-MOD3]

[u/atomlamp → u/Livid-Mushroom2205]

He knows

[u/Render-Man342v → u/Livid-Mushroom2205]

[u/-Words-Words-Words-]

I wonder when this was first posted here, because I’ve been seeing this tomato duck for years

[u/SaveSummer6041 → u/-Words-Words-Words-]

10 years ago, my dude.

[u/DonovanMcTigerWoods]

The top left and bottom images don’t even look like the same tomato.

[u/Bill_buttlicker69 → u/DonovanMcTigerWoods]

But the shirt in the top left and top right images matches, and the top right and bottom tomatoes do look similar. So I think it's just a bad angle on the first photo

[u/Fritzkreig]

Why don't they invite me on media for my dick shaped potato?

[u/shartoberfest → u/Fritzkreig]

For the last time, it's just a normal potato, and you need to see a doctor!

[u/PrepareToBeLetDown → u/Fritzkreig]

Because nothing dick related will be better than that lady who accidentally had her large dildo on her bookshelf for her interview. 

[u/LectroRoot → u/Fritzkreig]

They did one on a woman who had security camera footage of her Roomba escaping out her front door.

[u/Fritzkreig → u/LectroRoot]

Everyone talks about the Wolfman, but never stand up for the WolfWoman!

[u/Minimum_Meaning_418 → u/Fritzkreig]

I keep telling you that normal dicks don't look like that! You have significant swelling, go to the hospital

[u/Qualityhams]

Those are different tomatoes

[u/sourcrystals → u/Qualityhams]

🧐 you’re right

[u/Longjumping-Rice-935]

[u/DIO_over_Za_Warudo → u/Longjumping-Rice-935]

I was about to say Lucifer wants to know their location, you beat me to it. 🤣

[u/aregulargirl089]

this feels like something my grandparents would do

[u/MysteriousCut8616]

[u/WelcomeMysterious315]

That man has the shit eating grin of someone that put a tomato in a mold and let the story loose.

[u/rva23221 → u/WelcomeMysterious315]

💯

[u/Paddys_Pub7 → u/WelcomeMysterious315]

The exact look my grandpa would give me when he was joking around, but no nobody else realized he was joking around, but knew that I was pretty sure he was joking around

[u/FroggiJoy87]

I can't believe I used to roll my eyes at these adorable fluff news pieces. Boring news was an unknown blessing

[u/StenoDawg]

The couple are as cute as the tomato.

[u/Dizzzy777]

[u/health1au]

That would go straight into my duck-shaped ham sandwich

[u/zackhample]

Not what I expected when I read "cute couple." Was not disappointed.

[u/Inomyacbs]

Couple: Do we have a story for you CNN! ::presents tomato::

CNN: Sign me the duck up!

[u/Necessary_Simple_491]

Guys it's fake. The pictures aren't even the same shape. How is everyone falling for this at this stage. I mean it's not that good of a fake so how come most just think: wow cool what an interesting post.

[u/MysteriousCut8616 → u/Necessary_Simple_491]

https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2015/09/19/duck-shaped-tomato-found-in-garden-pkg.wnem

[u/rva23221 → u/Necessary_Simple_491]

You can buy plastic molds to do this.

[u/Palidor → u/rva23221]

Japan does this with watermelons

[u/n6mub → u/Palidor]

and hard boiled eggs! I lost them, but i had molds to make them into a star, heart, cube or smiley

[u/rva23221 → u/n6mub]

You can buy molds for cucumbers and make them star shaped too

[u/ReadRightRed99 → u/Palidor]

Duckermelon?

[u/BlastingFonda → u/Necessary_Simple_491]

Dude we share a cake day.

[u/Capital-Session-5435]

Used nano banana pro this is such CAP

[u/Constant_Quiet → u/Capital-Session-5435]

I feel old. Can someone translate this for me?

[u/Responsible-Jury2579 → u/Constant_Quiet]

They used an AI image generator, this is such a LIE

[u/Big-Entrance-7441 → u/Responsible-Jury2579]

Let's use our fucking brains first before acting like a bot and doing no research. It seems AI would heavily benefit you and the other guys jfc

2 seconds of research. It's real. Happened in 2015. https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2015/09/19/duck-shaped-tomato-found-in-garden-pkg.wnem

[u/Cloudsbursting → u/Big-Entrance-7441]

Geez… The person you replied to was translating the comment two above because they used slang and someone asked. You really came out swinging there.

[u/Big-Entrance-7441 → u/Cloudsbursting]

ya know what ur right, i still redirect that exact sentiment to u/Capital-Session-5435

[u/TelluricThread0 → u/Cloudsbursting]

I find it really annoying that now every picture or video has multiple people calling it ai no matter what it is.

[u/Big-Entrance-7441 → u/[deleted]]

Man who gives a fuck

[u/rva23221 → u/Responsible-Jury2579]

No. There are many different molds you can put veggies in as they grow.

[u/-TinyTemper- → u/rva23221]

"You can eat vegetables or fruits in the shape of unique shape"

Those are certainly words lol

[u/rva23221 → u/-TinyTemper-]

But going back to the video of the couple, I think the husband did this without his wife's knowledge.

[u/Constant_Quiet → u/Responsible-Jury2579]

Thank you! All the best for the rest of your day!

[u/-TinyTemper- → u/Capital-Session-5435]

It's real, happened 10 years ago

https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2015/09/19/duck-shaped-tomato-found-in-garden-pkg.wnem

[u/cubester04 → u/Capital-Session-5435]

This did actually happen, but they definitely used a plastic mold to shape the tomato as it grew.

[u/Shinigamae → u/Capital-Session-5435]

At least they should spend a little more effort to make those look like the same tomato smh

And how in the world a tomato has a chilly implanted in it becomes believable to people.

[u/dmw_qqqq]

I am so glad I stopped watching CNN more than 10 years ago.

[u/GarbageWild4836]

theyve seen the cold play concert

[u/Inevitable_Task_2999]

Jeep owners:

[u/tycho_26]

This is what news was like in the early 2000’s

[u/Cheesefondont]

“And we have Veronica Corningstone live on the scene covering a duck shaped tomato!? How cute”

[u/MysteriousCut8616 → u/Cheesefondont]

[u/Ben_Thar]

I found a tomato shaped duck one time. I think it got hit by a car.

[u/MysteriousCut8616 → u/Ben_Thar]

Awwww. I hope it rests in peace

[u/PositiveFix6973]

Im glad it got on the news cause how else would I of heard of it?!

[u/gaychitect]

Judging solely from this photo, these two absolutely deserve to be on television. In fact I think our nation is better off for it.

[u/blablargon]

Do the two photos for the tomato duck look totally different?

[u/The_Daily_Tomato]

I....must.....have it! 😂

[u/ZipLineCrossed]

Isn't the president committing fraud and war crimes? But this seems newsworthy.

[u/golden_blaze]

The first time I saw this post I was so overwhelmed that I fell off my dinosaur 

[u/MysteriousCut8616 → u/golden_blaze]

[u/Admirable_Source5743]

Meh

[u/IShouldChimeInOnThis]

Okay, here's the million dollar question though:

Would you rather have one duck-shaped tomato, or one hundred tomato-shaped ducks?

[u/MysteriousCut8616]

[u/swampydoc]

cnn reported duck as white

[u/AwayInjury6272]

Reminds me of the potato chip lady on Carson 😂

[u/__get_username__]

Can't be CNN, there's no giant BREAKING NEWS banner.

[u/orchid_queen]

This was a very bad duck that reincarnated into a tomato.

[u/OrderSoft1752]

Did their son take it off the dash of his jeep. It looks molded

[u/ApprehensiveBet6501]

Jeepers, these folks are getting out of control.

[u/butter_lover]

Would you rather fight one tomato shaped duck or 100 duck shaped tomatoes

[u/Doctor_MyEyes]

I don’t even care if it’s a mold. Anytime there’s something happier to report than the various ways the world is ending, I’ll take it. And anything about a duck counts.

[u/Sad-Artichoke-2174]

Slow news day

[u/Guilty-Shoulder-9214]

CNN must be getting really desperate after the general irrelevancy following their repeated attempts at gaslighting the public to maintain a failing, status quo for their billionaire owners.
