Maybe a\nsatire on Pringles (or potato chips in general) in that they start with a\npotato and end up with something not very much like a potato?  I can't\nfind it now, but I seem to remember that Weer connects in his mind the big\norange logo of his company with the orange Mr. T uses in Mr. Smart's story\nto consider how easy/hard it would be to poison fruit.  So maybe it's just\na \"you never know what's really in there\" sort of theme.\n\n-Rostrum"
