Avocado wedding proposals have to be a sign of the apocalypse

Sometimes we need to admit when we as a society have gone too far.

Avocados are fine. Great, even. But when we as a society begin proposing with avocados, I get afraid.

Yes, that's correct. People are proposing with avocados.

In an avocado? Seriously? So the proposer has to take the ring out, now covered in avocado, and place it on the proposee's finger? I guess getting it on wouldn't be too hard?

I mean, I love ribs but that doesn't mean I want to find an engagement ring tucked away under its fall-off-the-bone meat.

I also love spaghetti but that doesn't mean I want my significant other cracking open one of the meatballs.

Like this avocado isn't even a nice looking avocado, what are you doing???

If I were her, I would say no simply because this is the worst avocado I've ever seen.

What I'm saying is, if you see someone proposing with an avocado, even if it SEEMS cute, be very afraid. Maybe even consider calling the police?

This fad needs to be cancelled immediately.
