I tried eating fruit but the onboarding was confusing. I have to choose from apple, banana, orange? How is a normal user supposed to navigate this complexity

Each fruit peels in a different way, apparently you don't even have to peel an apple? It's a compatibility nightmare

I'm going to stick to that chopped fruit you get in the little plastic boxes marked "Fruit". Regular fruit needs to take some UX lessons from those guys

Getting some annoyed responses to this. Look it's up to you if you don't want to take UX seriously, but you can't expect fruit to reach a mainstream audience if you don't solve the onboarding issues

@lucifargundam @tomw @JeffGrigg Parody is dead. No matter how ludicrous the joke, it seems you'll find that it's actually happening/happened somewhere. 🙄

@lucifargundam @jcarr @tomw I think the Apple computer company lawsuit should be thrown out.For one thing, the Swiss farmers are selling real organic apples. It shouldn't be possible to deny a grower a reasonably realistic outline of their product.Also, the computer "apple"1. has a bite out of it2. has a "leaf" instead of a "stem"The Swiss apple has a stem, and the swiss "plus" on it.Hard to confuse the two.And even more important than that, the products don't compete.

@JeffGrigg @lucifargundam @jcarr @tomw I worked for a company Apple were suing. They dragged it out for years even though we weren't competing and the only similarity was that we had the word "pod" in out product name.We sometimes used it as a marketing gimmick, "as sued by Apple".

@moopet @JeffGrigg @jcarr @tomw "as sued by Apple" should make it more pronounced a brand

@lucifargundam @moopet @jcarr @tomw The Swiss farmers should advertise"Sued by the Apple computer company -- who obviously don't know a thing about real apples!"
