The peach window

The peach window is the time interval where the peaches you bought are in an edible state. That is, the time between rock hard causing gum bleeding and moldy,
covered with fruit flies.

While the time before the window takes up to a week (and after as long a you can stand the flies), the peach window seems to be sized 12 hours in average.

Unfortunately, here they come packed at least by eight, and worse I seem always to get them in a synchronized set. So once a week, it's peach diet. Lucky me.
