@amarast Why do you think you guys were unsuccessful? Timing or market conditions or your product?

@joshdance timing, clearly. And on a personal note, I was a terrible product manager... Today, people are much more aware of how big of an issue food waste is, regulators too.

It's criminal how much perfectly good fruit & veg is thrown away by producers because it doesn't meet the aesthetic standards set by the supermarkets. I'm so glad that these guys are solving this problem.
It really does sound like a win-win solution for producers and the public.
This is both ridiculous and amazing! Reminds me of the hours my wife has spent combing through gourds at Halloween / Thanksgiving time, but this actually has some nutritional value! Kudos on the idea.

Great idea. Lots of restaurants and businesses used to do this. A French supermarket chain launched a similar offer last year. But bringing this to everyone is great.
