LOL When we opened the cans of blueberries MW sent for our Bon Voyage party, we all just stood there gazing into this can like it was filled with worms! I said, "Hmmm."

My sister said, "Those are blueberries?"

We all agreed we'd never seen such a thing, but we dipped into them and found they tasted wonderful! They were great on the cream cheese pie!
