It was lettuce, an iceberg lettuce, the fastest wilting lettuce money can buy.


Isn't iceberg lettuce so common in part because it's one of the most stable lettuces? Still absolutely hilarious that Truss was outlasted by a head of lettuce, but I want to make sure that we're being accurate.


You have got me, I was making shit up on the fly.

Iceberg lettuce is a cultivar known for its longer shelf life and higher water content. Romaine lettuce is another lettuce cultivar famous for its crunchy texture and higher vitamin content.

I am switching to Romaine for the vitamins now I know (have read a single headline on the internet) better.
