Fun fact: in my native language the word for a pit (as in a hard central fruit seed) is directly translated as "little bone" so depending on who you ask, avocados indeed do have bones :3

    I guess if they can make boneless grapes then they can also make boneless avocados

    So then my bones are boneless bones because they don't have bones in them.

    I bet that'd feel better than a grapefruit.

    The bones are the meme, but I want to know which branch of which tree in which orchard grew that seedless avocado. Because grafts.

    I see fruit labeled all the time as gluten free at grocery stores.

    Fyi for those who don't know. Gluten is created from wheat.

    It’s a valid statement, stupidly enough.

    A family friend once had a gluten reaction from fruit. Turns out, the caterer presented it with a spray over them that makes them shinier - and that has gluten in it.

    The spray also helps to maintain freshness longer, so it’s not just a “pretty fruit sells better” tactic. Though it should be stickered if it’s coated and that coating is wheat derived (not all are).

    As somebody who has bitten in to a bone in a boneless chicken sandwich at KFC - on two different occasions, months apart - I for one appreciate boneless food no matter what form it's in. Boneless chicken? Perfect. Boneless avocado? Sure. Boneless raspberries? Absolutely. Boneless applesauce? I sure as hell hope so.
