Creamy Fruit Salad

This is not too disgusting in of itself. I actually like fruit salad. But somewhere an interior designer is looking at this card and using it as a starting point for a room design. Maybe I've been watching too much Trading Spaces. I like to eat fruit salad but I would not want to live in fruit salad.
This cheap ass recipe calls for 5 maraschino cherries, halved. 10 lousy halves of cherries to serve 4 to 6. In the photo above I counted 12 cherry halves. Betty Crocker is cheating.
