    Mind you there was an even colder storage next to us where they would keep other fruit not yet ready for transport, and all the people who worked there had their faces wrapped in scarves to keep their faces from being frostbitten.

    The other thing I remember is every once in a while we would get a dead tarantula in the boxes of oranges whenever we had shipments from South America

        It doesn't stay there for very long, if you've ever eaten a Cutie orange its come from the facility Im talking about.

        The ones in the colder freezer would come in unripened and sprayed with ethylene gas to ripen them from what I was told.
