Next question: In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?

I'd guess its the same as the egg trick. Pear is soaked until its somewhat squishy, pear is placed on top of bottle, sealing the hole. bottle is then heated, and the pear gets sucked in. I don't know the process of brandy bottling, but if the liquor goes in hot, the process would be even more simple for the manufacturer. If thats not it, I'd guess they grow them in there.

Grow them in there. I saw a show on discovery where bottles were put over small budding pears and later harvested when ripe.

YEA Point to Ohg & Bodi

(The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems. )
