. . . of flowers, of course, what did you think I meant?

Viagra (sildenafil citrate) is good not only for treating male impotence Israeli and Australian researchers have discovered that small concentrations of the drug dissolved in a vase of water can also double the shelf life of cut flowers, making them stand up straight for as long as a week beyond their natural life span.

Yep, 'cos that's certainly normal and natural!

I see they're proposing to use it for other perishables too - strawberries, broccoli - so we could potentially be eating our future five-a-day with viagra in it?

Non merci!

Beware if Mr B returns from the supermarket with a large tray of strawberries and claims they are gaspillage.
