The cheerful image references an agricultural term for this variety-“zipper fruit”-so named because of the ease of removing the peel. Cuties come in a crate-shaped cardboard box or a mesh bag with a label that features a smiling mandarin emerging from its peel through a zipper. Their brand name- Cuties-has practically replaced their horticultural name-mandarins-in the way that Kleenex once replaced “tissue.” Grown in California, Cuties are now the leading brand of mandarin, a citrus category that is on pace to unseat the common lemon from its slot at #2 on the Golden State’s production roster. Today we present the first installment of a long and winding story in which a tiny, seedless fruit becomes the iPhone of the produce aisle. For each topic we tackle, we’ll be developing a multi-part series of interlocking posts, which will combine, we hope, to offer a new lens for viewing the familiar. As you might guess from the name, this blog aims to unlock the ways design factors into the world around us, particularly its role in the everyday-seemingly undesigned-environment. (I used clear fishing line for this! You could also use ribbon.) Tie a small bow with ribbon, and attach a leaf tag to one side with scotch tape.Welcome to Design Decoded, the newest member of Smithsonian’s digital family. Put one clementine or mandarin orange into a mini treat bag and tie the top. Mini Treat Bags – I like this 4×6 size best for this! My two-year old does not need to be running around like a crazy person each time there is a holiday! haha, so I am hoping that the parents of her classmates will appreciate this too.ĬLICK HERE to print the Cutie Valentine Leaf Tags Materials Needed:
I love the idea of giving Cuties (clementines or mandarin oranges) for Valentine’s day because they are healthy but still something that most kids love! Valentine’s Day is coming up on quick! My daughter goes to a little play school a few times a week and I wanted to come up with a fun Valentine for her to take to her friends that wouldn’t include candy and wasn’t expensive! I think I came up with the perfect solution. This ‘You’re a Cutie’ Valentine printable goes perfectly with a clementine or mandarin orange for a healthy non-candy Valentine idea!
