Last week, the F2R delivery vehicle was summoned to deliver a fabulous Fruitful Trophy edible fruit bouquet arrangement to American Idol contestant, David Archuleta. It was the final contest day and the press and paparazzi were swarming the Nokia Theatre at the Staples Center as I pulled up to a crowd of people who were watching former Idol has-been (Justin Guarini) taping an interview for later re-broadcast. There were throngs of people everywhere; I suspected it might be a challenge to find the designated area to deliver the prize-winning gift to David Archuleta... Eventually, a woman approached me looking quite official with her walkie-talkie and multiple ID badges. She offered to take the bouquet herself to David Archuleta's trailer. "Wow, this thing is heavy!" she said. I watched her saunter off behind security gates as the Fruitful Trophy was admired by other officials. Later that evening, I watched American Idol to see if the Fruitful Trophy fruit bouquet arrangement received by David Archuleta might be featured in the background of an impromptu interview inside his makeup trailer, but the fruit sculpture trophy was nowhere to be seen...sigh
