I asked specifically if anyone else is having trouble finding this size of
canned pears. Apparently, nobody here buys them at all. It wouldn't matter
what I had said. Someone would have made something of it. I well know that
I can buy pears in all sorts of can sizes. I am not stupid. That is the
size that I wanted so that's what I asked about.

Apparently I can't ask anything here, even if it is food related. People
are going to make a big to do and tell of other things that I could be
doing, as though I am stupid and can't figure things out.
