Out of the PLU
Ever wonder what those little numbers on your fruits and vegetables mean?
Well, those are PLUs or "Price Lookups" a universal numerical system that helps aid customers and companies to discern between different produce products.
There are over 1400 assigned PLU codes in use today and figured that's more than enough to create some nifty puzzles!
Alas, it would be a little difficult to solve this if you had to find all the codes in person, so, here's a website to help narrow down your search.
