Peaches, peaches, peaches and cherries!

Why haven't other businesses at Pike Place Market adopted some sort of product-tossing routine? It gets the fishmongers a lot of attention. How about tossing some nectarines around?
For 37 years at the market --18 at this stand--, Mike Osborn has done fine without throwing anything. Instead, he just lets people try out the fruit. I get a cherry and it's delicious. "Quite possibly one of the best pieces of fruit you'll have all year," he tells people passing by.
