    i hate pears…… but i want to eat it!

  5. Buddha

    Charging $7USD for a Buddha-shaped pear is asking for bad karma though…

  6. Karin Stewart

    Very unique idea! Perhaps a dragon next???

  7. Paul Sample

    wooow that’s great. I didn’t know it could be possible.

  8. Ding Yang

    2Buddha: yes, your are right – eating Buddha is a bad carma.
    But anyway it is a very nice idea. If produce pears of 5 elements’ shape according to chinese doctrines it will help people to get the best of the luck.

  9. Betty Cires

    Curious and creative idea! Love it.

    I think that a mold would be a good alternative to pesticides. and why not Buddha?

  26. ozii

    god bless photoshop…

  27. tony

    If you meet the buddha on the road, kill him.

    Or, just eat him, I suppose.
    Especially if he’s green and juicy.

  28. Haz

    Ridiculous…

  29. Nat

    This is just so amazing… and such a reasonable price! I’d for sure buy a baby buddha-pear! Fabulous!

  30. Jean Valjean

    The pears are nice but I wonder if this guy knows that the real money is in patenting the molds and manufacturing them for export? I’d love to have a mold for my apple tree.
