Answer 1

so they dry out and keep them fresh and less bugs too!

Answer 2

it makes them shine under light... check for freshness all the same. nate that water will make salads weight a bit more... and therefore cost you a few cents more.

Answer 3

Keeps them fresh & healthy looking.

Answer 4

it keeps them fresh and green so that they don't wilt and look disgusting

Answer 5

cold water makes the vegetable crisper and therefore prevents them from wilting or looking old. It's all about the sale.

Answer 6

I'm guessing that it helps keep them fresh, and also when things are wet, the colors look better, so it would be more appealing to shoppers.  What I love is the thunder sounds that accompany the water spray.
