Why in the hell do I live in a climate zone where croissants do not grow on trees?!

Have to make sure what the tree produces isn’t poisonous, though, since local wildlife didn’t eat it. 
Around here, baked goods (and fruits on trees) left to the birbs don’t last long enough for the authorities to be called.

You raise a good point, though I’d probably risk it for croissants. I’m assuming the local bird population also assumed it was an iguana as that’s the only rational explanation I can have for something as fantastical as an uneaten croissant.

Here’s some destination planners:

!Be sure to allow for northwards shift over time in this hemisphere, due to global warming. Some of these delicacies may become pests because their natural predators no longer roam the same range. Fortunately, there are solutions if you have the right altitude.

Perhaps a French visitor tried the local bakery’s croissant, though it was terrible and tossed it?

More like Gówno than iguana

An… iguana? If I were to misidentify a croissant stuck in a tree (which is understandable, given the “wrong context” identification problem), if I thought it was natural, I’d assume it was some sort of wasp or bee nest, or some sort of growth (like a gall), not a reptile.

Come to Paris. I’m constantly having to steer my dog away from croissants under trees. Even I am almost convinced they grow on trees here.

I think those brown curly things under trees that are so attractive to your dog’s sense of smell may not, in fact be, croissants.

Oh, no, he likes the other brown curly things too. At least to smell – fortunately, he has stopped eating them.

That’s lucky. There’s no shortage of them on the streets of Paris IIRC.
