      If it was a grape, it would give a little w(h)ine. (Ha ha!)

      Just to bang on, once again, about bubbles, part of the reason that apples crunch but pears don’t is that apples contain bubbles but pears don’t.

      apples are very crunchy and crisps are crisp we do some experiments where we use microphones to record the sound food makes when people eat them. mostly the sound the food makes is determined by its structure and how it breaks when we bite it. We link the sound food makes to how us humans determine its textural properties
