I'm sure it wasn't an heirloom. They had those too, but they were
significantly more expensive, and I rarely buy them unless I'm
expecting company. If they ever have them on sale for $1.79, I'll buy
everything they have (g). This tomato was just a cheap untreated
tomato. It was very spherical, and the looms usually are "wrinkled".

I'm just happy because I was able to know when it was ripe and eat it
at the right time. I've also been buying black plums and waiting until
they start to get a bit soft. What a difference an extra two or three
days can make.
