It’s bad news for health-conscious Capetonians as premium retailer Woolworths confirmed that they’re rather short of avocados.

I’m not desperate for avocados, but I know that many local people are, basing many of their daily meals around the healthy, trendy fruits. And desperate people are easy to fool, because they will do anything for their green, pulpy fix.

But apparently not.
I overheard one person saying that they were so glad that “somebody had made a plan” and someone else suggesting that they “were probably organic or something”, before piling them into their respective baskets.
Eish. Good luck with that guacamole, guys.
