I remember the first time I bought one of those several decades ago, the cashier wasn't really watching. He was just grabbing stuff off the belt and ringing it up. Not looking, he grabbed the fruit and just jumped, quickly looking to see what he had just grabbed. Apparently the feel of the thing rather started him.

"The pampered pig from Green Acres, Arnold Ziffel, was a favorite for many fans. With so much star power packed into a pig, he proved he was great at stealing the show.

Arnold the pig was actually played by four different pigs during the show's run from 1965 to 1971. The first Arnold the pig was a male, and the next three were female.

Arnold's former contract called for a stand-in special, star billing, a light work schedule and deluxe accommodations - by animal standards, of course. The pig got the star treatment both on and off set.

Arnold Ziffel wasn't a normal pig by any means. He was even trained to switch the TV on and off as he desired while he watched his favorite Western movies on TV. In 1965, Arnold's salary rose to $250 a day, a respectable amount even by human standards.

At one point, Green Acres producer Jay Sommers and CBS Studios wanted Arnold to have his own spin-off show. It wasn't uncommon for stars of classic shows to have their own spin-off shows, but it was unheard of for a pig to get one.

The spin-off would have been called Arnold. The show would have followed Arnold's journey after he inherits $80 million in trust."
