I was still new to LLL at the time and I remember being extraordinarily confused when I soaked them and they all passed pink urates. Thought I must have done something horribly wrong! Nope, just lots of radishes.

That is really funny. Most humans don't like them, I can't imagine a tort liking them so much. Got to ask. Did you fess up about the pink urates, or did you keep quiet in fear of losing your job

Are you going to try some of the pretty mixed colored ones or just the normal red ones or white ones?
