I haven't tried microwaving them, I'll give that a go, thank you.

I don't have a banana or come to that a brown paper bag

Pop them in your bra and chat softly to them.

Makes some things soften and others harden

Worth a try

Somewhere In The Ether…

Top tip: Until they do eventually ripen (about ten years from now…) why not use them in a fascinating and rewarding arts and craft project in the meantime?

Simple take eight pipe cleaners and stick them, four either side, into your kiwi fruit and voila! A scarily realistic tarantula that will simultaneously serve to both impress and repulse all friends and family

Oh dear - are they in season?

I find they are either watery +tasteless or like bullets on the rare occasion i buy them

Would putting them with a banana in a brown paper bag help?

It might if I had a banana or a bag .

I will give them a couple more days and it'll be the microwave, smoothie or compost route

Threaten them with any of those and they might ripen quicker

Haven't eaten one since I was a child. I once helped myself to a kiwi from the shopping as we were waiting on my mum to pay....

Big mistake

One firey mouth later in reaction to whatever pesticides were on the skin ..... and I ended up walking home with a melting icecream smooshed in my mouth to ease the burning
