The produce section was fully stocked, the nightshift having done a sterling job to make it presentable for the early morning rush.
The shoppers filed in and began to fill their baskets and trolleys with assorted vegetables for their evening meals and pieces of fruit for daytime snacks.
"What on earth are those?" asked an old lady, pointing at the largest vegetables she'd ever seen.
"They're onions," answered the member of staff who stood nearby.
They certainly looked like onions, but they were the size of spacehoppers.
"It's a new breed," said the assistant, answering the woman's puzzled facial expression.
She lifted one of them into her trolley.
She arrived home and lifted the massive onion out of her bag and placed it on the kitchen worktop.
As she turned around to put away the rest of her shopping arms and legs sprouted out of the body of the giant onion. It jumped down from the counter and charged straight through the back door, leaving a giant onion-sized hole, before heading back to the supermarket.
