Packaging, those strawberries need much more packaging.
No flowers, ribbons, pot pourri, gold, frankincense or myrrh.
They haven't even tried, it's an insult, utterly unforgivable.

Those cheeky little eyes
OejaNegra
These macaque monkeys' facial expression never fail to crack me up hahaha. They come across as very goofy creatures (even if they are not).

Despite the plastic this guy has my heart

They missed the chance to wrap each strawberry in platic on top of the other layers. /s
Septcanmat
We can’t have plastic straws but they’re triple packaging their strawberries in two layers of plastic and a layer of cardboard.

She's bearring her teeth because she nervous but also knows strawberries are coming.

Macaques have different smiles for different reasons. They can signal submissiveness, or fear / defensiveness, but also friendly intentions. And this particular Tibetan macaque has lived among humans for 18 years after losing an arm in a boar trap. I'm sure at this point she has learned to read and imitate human expressions to some extent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xing_Xing

Had to upvote all the packaging comments, but

Can I even afford to look at those strawberries?

That animal is not comfortable. You can see a couple fear grimaces (people mistake them for smiles) and the way the eyes are darting around suggests discomfort

Eat the whole damn berry, princess!

Who the fuck packs strawberries like that?
syntheticgod8
It's not like they couldn't have done away with all the wrapping before opening the box. Nah, that's pure content. We're all here for the plastic box ASMR, right?

It isn't difficult to grow a strawberry patch.

It's remarkably easy. Keeping the snails and birds away is the hard part.

macaque females weigh 9 to 13 kg and measure 49 to 63 cm tall for normal height. while xing xing is very popular cause she lost an arm and has trouble caring for herself. she roams the tourist areas for food and there are signs about what to and not to give her including a small station that sells some of these. while shes not overweight she is accustomed to the care people provide that she unlike other monkeys there doesn't cause much trouble or fuss
Polymathena
And her plastic encased produce
MedicSolidarity
Why is she so fat tho or is it fur?
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
Tibetan macaques are a fluffy lot and look chubbier than they are, but this one is definitely overweight.

Smiling is an aggressive gesture with monkeys
MissChickle
I thought it could also be submissive, depending on the intensity of the smile. Dogs can also have a "submissive smile", but I'm not an animal expert.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
Varies between species, and they all have a variety of different "smiles". What you're referring to is the so-called fear grimace or fear grin of many primate species, which is not the same as this sociable macaque smile. Their range of facial expressions is as large as ours.
mrsdowneyjr
I'm sure they learn. "Smiling" is aggressive in dogs but they can learn to do it for treats
AtmaDarkwolf
Is show teeth, can be aggressive, usually means 'i can chomp if needed, beware' but also primates (Dogs cats, most mammals actually) can learn that if a certain 'thing' does the smiles and does not hurt you, they learn the expression does not mean threat. (But yes, this is generally how it is for most all primates in wilds, esp them who have never had contact with humans, show teeth, = threat)

that's an insane amount of trash for a couple of strawberries
FanBladeFleshlight
Sadly that's a normal thing in East Asia. Metric ton of plastic packaging for seemingly everything.
Draygen
I was just kinda thinking about the luxury we have of not having to package our strawberries like this because we can just walk outside and grab strawberries, and there are people living in regions or climates that they don't grow well or at all. I just kinda randomly one day found blackberries growing wild right next to my driveway.
SJBSavageInk
Right? They're practically individually wrapped and they're not even chocolate dipped so I'm kind of just wondering why. I saw something about a strawberry that's like $40 for one. Streamer I follow bought one and split it with his mom. They were like it's good but it's just a strawberry. 😂
NickRivieraMD
IWait till you see the packaging for spam intended to be given as a gift.
Poppypoppoppop
That's Asia for you. Not happy? Go dig them out the ground yourself.
hailtheratking
Strawberries grow above ground, though…
Agatsu74
Here in Germany, they usually come in a thick cardboard box without a lid so you can inspect them, but there's no plastic trash.

In Japan, fruit is often a luxury item in luxury packaging. You can give it as a gift
AtmaDarkwolf
is the plastic they use at least recycled? (IE not like us westerners do, stamp 'recyclable' on everything and call it a day, even if it all ends up at the landfill anyways)
WellAckchually
Since the most common plastic recycling scheme in the US is to ship it to China so they can put it in their landfills instead, I'm gonna guess not
AtmaDarkwolf
... I hate humans :(
TheDoctorCrankenstein
China did a great deal with recycling. The issue with it ending up in landfills is the US routinely breaking trade agreements and shipping materials that aren't actually recyclable mixed in.
In 2018, China actually stopped importing plastics because of this because it was becoming a huge environmental concern.
The US now just ships it to other poor nations.

FanBladeFleshlight
Nah, China is probably creaming themselves at the thought.
Andunistar
To be fair they have had a lot of cultural exchange for better or worse over the centuries and have pretty extreme bias about it someone on the outside wouldn't. But yeah this is a good way to get cut, I wouldn't say it in a group of unidentified Asians for any fucking money.
