Huh? Real Fruit?

At Panera for lunch:

e: "So they give you a real apple?"
m2: "No, they give you a plastic one . . . what did you think they would give you?"
e: "I don't know . . . nice apple slices? I wanted nice slices, not a real apple."
m2: "So it's not a real apple, it's a plastic one . . . it will help you lose weight . . ."
e: "I just wouldn't have ordered it if I knew it was a real apple"
m2: "Just chew it. It will be fine."
