7's 9's and 11's, all depending on the size.

You think that's strange? Try bell peppers. Weight? Nah they figure they're smart and go by volume, get this: Peppers are sold by the case of ONE AND ONE NINTH CUBIC BUSHELS!!!!! Tomatoes, on the other hand are sold in 25 lb cases.....

If it werent't so pathetic it'd be funny, or is it the other way around?
