      I laughed a bit nervously at the cartoon but your comment makes me want to shut off the puter and start cleaning

    We found a rock that looks just like a potato (sometimes we’ll put it in a fresh bag just to prank each other) and it lived in the kitchen counter fruit bowl for a while. Then my cat decided it was her best friend for a month and would cuddle it every day. Best Rock.

    My issue is the fruit goes bad faster than I can eat it all.

    I’ll buy a 3 kilo bag of apples, eat an apple every day, and still be left with 5 rotten apples.

      I keep apples in my fridge and they generally stay good way, way, way longer than expected, it’s nuts. I’m talking 6 weeks or more.

      Yeah, the comic takes place in an hour.

      The guy just can will a beard into existence.

      Why else do you think they wear the same clothes in every panel?

        Damn. I wish I had his beard power. I can’t even grow a proper beard after two years of no shaving.

      Next time you buy 3kg of apples, you could give away the 5 apples or make apple juice or a dish out of them before they go bad.

    I buy 4 individual fruits a week. Eat one every morning right after I wake up. Granny Smith before my commute really kicks you on the balls (in a good way)

    Cutting my fruits really helps me eating more.

    One whole apple? Nah, that’s too much.

    Three apples cut into slices? Count me in!

      Listen up… cut up your oranges into slices. It’s so much more fun to eat.
      Yes, i know they grow pre-sliced. Forget that and give it a go.

    I have a rule for my kids is that I never say no to fruits and I try to always have fruits in the fruit basket (as long as they eat the whole thing and leave a half eaten fruit somewhere in the house).

    My two year old is really enjoying that and can eat two whole apples and some grapes in a row. Sure he will not eat anything at dinner after that but I can’t be mad at him for eating fruits.

      Unearthing a half eaten apple somewhere in the house is the worst. Or orange peels! I keep telling my daughter, we live in the country, you’ve lived here your whole life, you know that’s just an invite (with a giant flashing welcome sign) for mice and bugs. Still find them.

    I have a rule now that if I see fruit sitting on the table and I think about it for a second I have to eat it.

      I have a similar one, if I’m hungry enough to walk into the kitchen, I’m hungry enough to eat some fruit. About 1/2 of the time I even do it. If I know there aren’t pastries in a cupboard.

      Dude. You’re missing out.

      You can buy grapes, fresh from the store, and then…ya know. Totally pig out on delicious grapes.

      I know it sounds like I’m starting off explaining some complex life hack that I never got to…but I’m not.

      My way, you get to eat delicious grapes. Your way, you don’t. That’s the life hack. Eat grapes.

      And not JUST grapes! Apples. Oranges. Strawberries. Watermelon. Pomegranate. Pears. Kiki. Mango. Raspberrys. Cherries. Grapefruit.

      Most people don’t think of Lemons as a fruit, but they TOTALLY are. Actually tomatoes are a fruit too! Doesn’t seem like it, but they are!

      Lots of tasty snacks! DUDE! YOU EVER HAVE A PLUM???

      Just, not bananas. You can’t eat my hands, and MY HANDS ARE BANANAS!!!

        This is the deepest cut I’ve seen in a long time. Pre-history YouTube. I’m pretty sure this was the first video I ever saw on the platform.

        And I’ll add on an actual life hack - you don’t even have to wash the fruit before eating it. Sure, giving it a rinse is probably a good thing to do, but eating unwashed fruit n veg is better than anything else you’d eat instead
