Also known as “flyover” celery. It will be kind of cool around Christmas.

Looks like it’s pink, and only on the bottoms of the stalks. Why should we pay more for that? Unless it somehow improves the taste or the nutrition, I don’t see the point.

A cheaper way to get red celery is to place the bottom of the stalks in beet juice.

It looks like celery that was accidentally left in the washing machine with a red sweatshirt.

It will carry a premium price that will vary by location as they gauge how much extra shoppers are willing to pay.

Local Walmart jumped their price on celery to $1.79. Just across the street, Aldi has it for $1.18.

If the red tastes and crunches the same, it may not be worth a premium price.

They didn’t deny that’s what they did.

I was thinking maybe setting it in a container of red food coloring.

If it still tastes like celery, whats the point? Maybe they should concentrate on infusing it with ranch dressing or something.

They’d have to change the taste to merit my interest; it’s present color is fine.

Ketchup was a green concoction before being fixed to be tomato-heavy. Now, blue ketchup, that’s disgusting.

Ketchup is a Malaysian dish. It used to be pickled fish.
