I'm still trying to figure out if this is worse than when they were marketing prunes as "dried plums" to avoid the prunes' stigma as a home remedy for constipation.
Anyhow, these were in the produce section of Costco, right down from the "fresh raisins."

OK, so according to the Wikipedia, there may be a distinction between certain fruits (specifically the freestone and clingstone varieties) where one is a "prune" and the other is a "plum." Thus, it is possible to have "fresh prunes." I am not buying it though. I suspect that Stellar Distributing merely changed the Wikipedia entry on prunes to suit their marketing goof...
