Apple (fruit)

The apple (Malus domestica) is a fruit that has been known to make people grateful for gravity – why else would they be constantly falling from trees? Despite their tendency to make a big splat when they plummet from their perches, apples remain a beloved fruit.

Apples come in many different varieties, each with a unique name that no one can pronounce correctly. From the tart Granny Smith to the sweet Honeycrisp, apples offer something for everyone. Well, except for people who genuinely hate fruit – it’s pretty clear apples aren’t for them.

Fun fact: apples are not only great for snacking on, but also make an excellent projectile. In fact, the act of throwing apples at people was once so popular that it became a sport. It was called “apple chucking,” and while it may have lost some of its popularity today, it still holds a special place in the hearts of anyone who has ever wanted to hurl fruit in the general direction of their enemies.

One popular myth about apples is that they will keep the doctor away. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true – there are plenty of other things that can make you sick besides a lack of apples. Still, it never hurts to eat some fruit and give your immune system a little boost. Plus, chewing on an apple can prevent you from yelling at your coworkers or loved ones, giving you a daily dose of both nutrition and self-control.

In conclusion, apples are a scrumptious fruit that have the power to bring people together – whether it’s through friendly tossing or sharing a freshly baked apple pie. Just be sure to watch your head if you’re walking through an orchard during harvest season. Those little guys can really pack a wallop.
