Default Rosle - commenting on fruit corer

Rosle fruit corer - Just commenting and complaining with a crooked-smile.

I got the fruit corer I ordered, and found that it is quite large, as I
must've got confused looking at the sizes, as I see there are 3 sizes at
Amazon available. The beat-up tag says for pineapple, so perhaps it is a
'many times returned' item.

Looking again at the site, I read a comment about Rosle products which
occurs here, the second comment down:

Looking closely at the hard-to-remove sticker ON the corer, which is quite
bold in its lettering, I see written "Germany." Looking closer, I see above
it on the handle, a see-through very small sticker with tiny letters, 'made
in China.'

I note that on the Amazon site, it says
"Designed and engineered in Germany." :-)))

An aside: I've not had a good pineapple since I left Hawaii. It would seem
to me that it would be do-able, but obviously not. Maybe they've shipped
all the good pineapples to China (where there are plenty of good tools). By
Jove, I've got it!
