“Aliens Go Gaga for Strawberry Jam at the Biodome”
By Rachel Solera | Broadcast from Area 52

Aliens appear to have a fondness for strawberry jam.

Monty Region: The SEGI Project’s Biodome has officially become ground zero for what experts are calling “The Great Intergalactic Jam Craze.”

Following last week’s diplomatic brunch between humans and visiting extraterrestrial envoys, several aliens were observed congregating near the refreshment table where, to everyone’s surprise, they bypassed the nutrient bars and went straight for the strawberry jam.

New shipment of jam just came in...

Witnesses described the scene as “part science fair, part breakfast buffet, and part religious experience.”

“They didn’t even blink,” said one observer. “They just hovered their spoons and made this little humming sound. Like they’d found the meaning of life in a jar.”

SEGI xenobiologists suggest that the aliens’ enthusiasm for strawberry jam might stem from its biochemical similarity to the nutrient plasma used aboard their ships. Others believe it’s more emotional than scientific, a nostalgic taste of something universal.

Meanwhile, Rachel’s Biodome has announced the launch of a limited-edition “Galactic Toast Station” where visitors can share a slice with their cosmic counterparts. Proceeds will go toward SEGI’s Intercultural Culinary Research Fund.

Field reports from Rachel’s Biodome suggest that extraterrestrial visitors were observed dipping Triscuits and even meteor chips into strawberry preserves. SEGI nutritionists theorize that it’s the vibrant red color and sugar content that fascinate them:

Color theory: The aliens’ vision spectrum may interpret red as “nutrient-rich” or “energetically charged.”

They would not even sell it to me.

Texture appeal: The jam’s smooth viscosity mimics the nutrient-rich gels used in their own sustenance pods.

Emotional resonance: Some scientists speculate the flavor activates pleasure responses similar to human nostalgia, perhaps reminding them of distant planetary flora.

One alien at the Biodome was reportedly overheard (through translation nodes) declaring:

“Earth fruit. Sweet. Warm light memory.”

As one alien delegate reportedly transmitted through the comm-link:

“Peace, understanding, and preserves.

I think one of the trains is filled with strawberry jam

”So yes, aliens do like strawberry jam. Possibly even more than humans do.
