trust the apple theory

*disclaimer* although this theory has been well tested and mentally documented, no real studies have been done involving control groups in a lab with humans or monkeys.

somewhere along the great path of adolescence i discovered an interesting trend among my peers.  i noticed that people who take the time out to eat an apple, im talking grab the apple, eat it right there people tend to be more honest/trustworthy.  why? well, that part has been harder to pinpoint but an early theory leads me to believe there might be a direct correlation between the time spent to eat an apple in peace with certain personality types.  what is also unclear is if people who pre-slice fall into this theory.  i have a feeling they might, but i cant confirm it, so anyone else thats studied this phenomenon, please contact me if you have conclusive evidence.  it also seems to apply itself across the board from red delicious, granny smith, pink ladies, fujis, all of apple varieties.  as for dried fruit versions like fruit jerky and sugar coated dried fruit? sorry, dont think youre honest.

how i discovered this theory is unclear, but general observation over the years started adding up and proving itself.  maybe its the whole fruit thing? does it apply to strawberries and blueberries? ill be honest(because i eat apples), im not sure.  

do yourself a favor and start observing the people around you.  that guy eating the big mac and fries....dont trust him.  the person snacking on some twinkies....id watch out too.  your friend that always eats bananas...thats debatable, but potentially shady activity.

test it out and then you too can be a believer in the trust the apple theory. 

dig.

apples are delicious

I have to admit though, I don't really eat them that often

What does it mean if I slice - BUT BECAUSE I DIP INTO THE SKIPPY JAR?

i'm a pre-slicer, am i trustworthy?

oh wait, probly not.

in my defense, i do know that the only reason i pre-slice is because i had braces for five years and there was no pretty option besides the pre-slice-- and now it's just habit.

seems like pre-slicers are making a case for themselves. lisa, you seem trust worthy and bri, well...hmmm, yeah, i trust you.
