How do you react to the news that not every fig contains a dead fig wasp?

Fig wasps and certain fig varieties have a close pollination relationship: the insect enters the fruit to pollinate the hidden flowers, and may die there. But that doesn't mean every fig you eat contains a dead wasp.

  • Relieved, it used to bother me
  • I suspected it was just a myth
  • Don't care, I'd eat figs either way
  • Now I'll eye every fig suspiciously
