Chapter 173: Training

Abby ignored all of the political talk and focused on making sure Adam was eating his carrots. He really didn't like them.

"If you finish all of them I'll give you some fruit snacks after," she whispered conspiratorially. Adam ate his carrots with gusto after that.

Fruit snacks were one of the things she and Sia had worked on creating together. They weren't as sugary as the ones back home since they were made with real pureed fruits and vegetables but they were a novelty here, kind of like marshmallows because of the gelatin.

One day Abby had desperately wanted a fruit-by-the-foot but they didn't exist here. They created a type of fruit leather that wasn't terribly similar to the highly processed taste she loved but it got her wondering what else they could make. Thus fruit snacks shaped like tiny circles were born.
