Mexican Chayote
Looks like an oversized spikey kiwi; however it's a Mexican Chayote that I found at near south side grocery store... I'm gonna have to figure out how to cook this thing.
Objectified
The guys who designed the poster, Build, are playing a similar game of "identify the iconic design" over on their blog, and they've provided a great high-res JPG of the poster to help make the game more fun. They also point out, as many of you have, that the word "Objectified" is hidden in the sixth row, and everything in the last row was used to make the film itself. Awesome.
