Several disqualifications must be imposed (US entrants only.)
The United States Department of Agriculture, by official ammendment to the fair food packaging regulations, declared (nearly a year ago) that PRUNES shall henceforth be labelled "DRIED PLUMS."
In the United States, therefor, PRUNES are no longer a vegetable.
The change was made at the request of the DRIED PLUM producers, who said "You can't sell something called a prune, because people think that old constipated people are the only ones that eat them."
Is this PC?

CONSTIPATED DRIED PLUM SLICKWILLIE (the most recognizable ex-presidential name in my parts.)
