I'm going to the grocery store...
 
...to buy some apples.
This guy makes it look too easy!

As in the video isn't working?

stevej37 10-12-2021 09:30 AM

I checked it on both my laptop and phone...both show the video working.

I can't see it but the screen flashes something from "subieweenie" to someone, then goes to half a black embed.

^^^ I don't know.
I use Chrome..maybe that has something to do with it.

This is nothing new. Apples have been opened up this way since the beginning of time. :rolleyes:

Adam did it that way? :D

I have seen and tried it many times...but I've never seen someone do it that easily.

Interesting, I've never seen that before.

I'm going to guess that you should wash the apple first in case it's got wax that kills your grip.

masraum 10-12-2021 10:47 AM

Washed my apple, and yes, really easy.

^^^ Nice job!

My trial will have to wait...no apples in the house!

masraum 10-12-2021 11:12 AM

Most of the year, I try to keep apples around. I usually go through 2 a day most days. The only time I'm not chowing on the apples is when it's Sumo Orange season.

I'll try it again later today.

I thought for sure from the title, you were going to discuss the ridiculous thought of "militant incompetence".

Enjoy your apple

URY914 10-12-2021 11:53 AM

An apple a day...

stevej37 10-12-2021 11:57 AM

^^^ PG

Nope. But I do often think of this song. :)

I haven't experimented, but I suspect some of it may have to do with the orientation of the apple. Ie, the internal structure, especially around the seed area, may, kind of like a diamond, have cleavage where it's easier to split. Hard to see from the top, but easier to see from the bottom, maybe? I'm going to experiment, but I don't want to sit here and eat 5 apples, so it'll be over the course of a couple of days.

I tried once this morning and got nothing, then washed the apple and the second time, paid attention to the shape of the top of the apple, and it was easy.

The guy in the video used a Gala apple. I think an apple like a 'Red Delicious' would be tougher to do. The split or cleavage is much less on a RD.
Yours, in the pic above, look like red delicious?

KFC911 10-12-2021 12:52 PM

Yeah... let me pick the apple next time!

Pineapple :D

But that's cool!

stevej37 10-12-2021 01:08 PM

My next door neighbor has a few crab apple trees.
Those would be impossible to open that way.
