In case you've ever wondered what the inside of an orange or grapefruit looks like

They do this all the time there. (Probably because the other half was rotten …)
Purple is a fruit.

Pre-Sliced!
Wow. Now pre-sliced oranges and grapefruit are available for all your holiday entertaining needs!
Greater than sliced bread?

Um, there's a reason for this
I think they're trying to show the difference between pink grapefruit & "ordinary" grapefruit, so shoppers can pick the one they want...
Um they didn't have to waste
Um they didn't have to waste food when a picture would have sufficed.
Waste food?
Why is this wasting food?
These are wrapped up - the employees will cut more and then have a nutritious snack.
Waste is bad. But if you saw
Waste is bad. But if you saw how much produce ends up in a supermarket dumpster every day...
Actually, Adam...
I think those might be two grapefruit. Maybe telling folks the smaller variety is white, the larger ruby?

I was thinking it looked like a Cara Cara orange and a lemon but I can't tell the scale...
How about them apples?
Apple Records
Reminds me of the labels on Apple Records, the Beatles' record label in the 60s & early half of the 70s. Side 1 was a whole green apple, side 2 was the apple cut in half. Some albums had specialty apples. The "Let It Be" album had a red apple. George Harrison's "All Things Must pass" had an orange apple. John Lennon's first solo album had a white apple and his "Imagine" album had his face in the apple. Ah, the days! I spent hours and hours listening to those albums and studying the artwork.

If it's something new or exotic...
If it's a new or exotic fruit or vegetable, that would make sense. I remember Star Market doing it the first time they ever got blood oranges in many years ago, and I've seen some places do it with dragon fruit, star fruit, pepino melons and horned melons.
I'm not sure what the rationale behind slicing open something common like grapefruit or an orange is, though...
