I was shopping the other day and the strawberries were on sale. Being the careful shopper that I am, I pick up each box to check for the quality of the berries on the bottom of the box and spot this gem.

It is 1 berry.
Of course, i had to buy it *just* so I could take a picture of it.

These must be GMO, they crossed a butterfly and a strawberry!

It really does look like a butterfly in that last one.

I am sure this is genetically modified too. I don't believe this would grow like this naturally.

Modern strawberry cultivars do this pretty regularly, although I cannot recall seeing such a photogenic example before. There don't seem to be any commercial strawberry cultivars in use that are GMO.
