WHY, WHY doesn't the bag of 'dried plums' state they ARE prunes?

Wow, whats wrong with you? Did you skip elementary school? Everyone knows a dried plum is a prune. And every knows what prunes do to a person. Geesh.

Quiz time: Do you know what a dried grape is called?

Why doesn't the bag of "prunes" state they are dried plums? I've always been irritated that we use a different name for something like dried plums. And raisins? Don't get me started.

The bag doesnt say that because prunes have been associated with being disgusting and therefore the companies sold less of them, especially to younger kids, but once they changed the name on the package to dried plums the consumers had no idea that they were prunes which because of this they sold more nd more of them

lol. because people don't like the word 'prune'. Its got a bad connotation to it.

PRUNE PLUMS ARE "PRUNES"....THERE ARE SO MANY KINDS OF PLUMS....THE ONES YOU BOUGHT AREN'T NECESSARILY PRUNE PLUMS

MAYBE YOU LUCKED OUT AND THEY ARE NOT AS FIBRE-RICH AS PRUNES!
