"These are ours, Mogilev strawberries"

The Mogilev resident shared a funny story on Threads about buying strawberries at the market. According to the woman, the seller assured her that the berries were grown in Mogilev and sold directly by local producers.

However, at home, the buyer discovered an unexpected detail. At the bottom of the box where the berries lay, there was a newspaper from the Luninets district, which is considered the unofficial strawberry capital of Belarus.

“The strawberry seller at the market: 'These are our strawberries, Mogilev strawberries, we grow them ourselves.' Also, a newspaper at the bottom of the box,” the author of the post wrote.

The woman also drew attention to the large size of the berries and humorously added: "Well, such 'horses' usually don't grow here either."

Users joke about the "legend's" failure

The publication quickly gathered dozens of comments. Many reacted to the situation with humor.

“Stierlitz has never been so close to failure,” one user wrote.

Others noted that Luninets has long been known for its berries:

“Luninets is the capital of Brest strawberries”;

“Is it news to anyone that strawberries are grown in Luninets?”;

“Brest strawberries are a given.”

Some commentators admitted that they see no problem with the origin of the berries:

“Luninets strawberries are better than Mogilev ones, so I wouldn't be particularly upset”;

“I would be wary of Mogilev ones”;

“Why say they are local?”

At the same time, some users drew attention not to the origin of the berries, but to the fact that the seller might be misleading buyers:

“This is just a blatant reseller, nothing personal”;

“They miscalculated, but where?”;

“Well, that's a blunder!”

One of the women said she encountered a similar situation:

“Is this in the 5th microdistrict? I also found such a newspaper at the bottom of the box. Why simply lie that they are Mogilev ones?”

The comments also reminded that berries are often sold in markets and along roadsides under the guise of being homemade or local, although they may actually be brought from other regions.

However, there were also those who took a philosophical approach to the story. One user joked that the Luninets newspaper in the box was not proof at all, but a source of useful information:

“Well, he subscribes to the Luninets newspaper to read strawberry care recipes.”

One woman recalled an instance when she encountered the opposite situation — when a seller from the Mogilev region in Minsk insisted on proving that his goods were from Luninets. But he failed the simplest test:

“I am from the Luninets district. A couple of years ago in Minsk, we asked a seller where the strawberries were from?

He: “From LunintsA (stress on 'a'),” my husband and I said aloud:

“It's clear that the seller is not from LUninets (stress on 'u')”

It turned out we were right, the car had Mogilev license plates.”
