Yes, those are all real fruits.

And yes, the price modifier thing is a fairly major part of the Forward economy - it's the reason why Caleb wouldn't be able to give Lee more than a few bottles as a gift - trying to funnel commercial purchases through a non-family-member's discount is... shall we say... frowned upon. The modifiers only apply to purchases made with creds, too - if Caleb were to buy a crate of juice bottles with the intention of reselling them, that purchase would be made in dollars.

By the way, have I mentioned that Lee is 1.85 meters (about 6 feet) tall?
