Talk:Fresh pear

Stealing Produce Quickly in the Rivet City Science Lab
I'd never noticed these before, however this play-through I was sneaking around searching for items to thieve and noticed all of the fresh produce. Since I am now playing a low-karma character, I decided to haul these off to a corner and steal them (not too far away from the tables; with a sneak of 100 nobody noticed me). However, after I had hauled over all of the Fresh Apples and one Fresh Carrot, Janice Kaplinski walked past while pacing, and actually stopped to start picking them up and eating them. She would stop where the food was, and they would disappear one by one, and the munching sound could be heard (they were not on her when I attempted to pickpocket them back). Frustrated, and intent on "owning" all of the fresh produce for display in my suite, I reloaded my autosave from when I entered the Labs (XBOX 360) and tried again. Every single time she would either walk over and start eating them, or (while I tried hauling them to a different corner) start eating the ones on the table. I finally remedied this by using a one of the stealth boys I'd planned on selling. Stealing the fresh produce right off the tables before she could snarf them all seemed to be the only way to get all of it.

So heads-up: if you want to take these (and don't mind the negative karma) then be quick, because Janice Kaplinski eats all of them if you wait too long. - Fembot G.g3 05:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

How Many?
The other Fresh ____ articles mention how many of each are in the lab. I found four, but I don't know if that's all of them. PositronicSpleen 15:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Locations in New Vegas?
This article really needs to have some locations listed for New Vegas. Especially since the Fresh Pear is now used in crafting Trail Mix, one of the most effective Starvation decreasing items, that can be crafted with a Survival as low as 25. If I find any locations where players or more likely or guaranteed to find this item, I'll try to add them. The same could go for Fresh Apples (although, they seem significantly easier to find that Fresh Pears). Science-Doer 20:05, November 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * After reading this topic I checked the area behind the bar at The Wrangler, and found nine fresh pears in an open crate. The area is a veritable treasure trove of food items (including Fresh Apples and Sugar Bombs). The pears (nine) were consistent across three different builds (two separate Xbox profiles). As per the Gamespot/ GameFaqs topic, jump the bar and wait to be told to leave, then you can sneek back in thru the door and raid the place after everyone leaves the area.
