maraschino cherries : a metaphor

[diffuse]

"The familiar 'maraschino' cherry originated several centuries ago in northeastern Italy and the neighboring Balkans, where the local marasca cherry was preserved in its own liqueur for winter eating. in the modern industrial version, light-fleshed varieties are bleached with sulfur dioxide and stored in brine until needed, then infused with sugar

i never have any good reasons for doing something as trivial as changing a livejournal icon. and i got it from somewhere random on the internet.
