Day 2 of The Great Apple Experiment

[waspsoul95]

i tell you what you better not be burning my pot pie. you can talk but don't burn the pot pie,or no cooking ware for xmas for you women!!!!!

[SatanMostPowerful]

Nope. No improvement. You're still ugly.

[unibrowist]

bitch is making my dick soft.

[majo271010]

i laugh so much with this video xD

[gilberto201]

how dare you make something like this if you don't even know anatomy of apples?

[edblacksoul]

"I'm not sure how sensitive apple's ears are" xD

[mzcyberbat]

I wonder if you tried the same thing on bananas/pears. Maybe they will be more sensitive :)

[bananasusyd]

I have a girl crush on Rebecca.

[WCMTesting]

I consider this bullshit. How can talking make something look better such as an apple. It's like talking to a wall.

[TheSensuousAtheist]

It's my mirror that just keeps getting fairer and fairer... the more I kompliment and kiss it, the more lovely she grows

[Pewpewharhar]

haha yes indeed. make up your mind about who's hate and who's not

[spoofmania21222]

to the hate apple and switches them up

[spoofmania21222]

she says good things

[spoofmania21222]

she switched up the apples!!!!!! watch the 1st vid look at what she says to the hate apple....

[igniukas10]

Omfg.. stop talkin.. JUST SHOW THE FREAKIN APPLES!!!!!!

[rkwatson]

@igniukas10 Aw, sweetie, you only just found YouTube and don't know how it works? Okay: there are buttons below each video. You can play, pause, fastforward, rewind...anything you want! And you don't even have to leave a comment. That's just for people who want to show that they care. Like you do!

[igniukas10]

@rkwatson well.. theres no such thing as fastfoward button...... And trust meh i use youtube long enough..

[rkwatson]

@igniukas10 Aw, you really are brand new aren't you? Ha! Okay, you see the little bar under the video? You can move it right or left to fast forward or rewind. IT'S LIKE MAGIC but on the INTERWEBZ! You can have that little tip for free.

[ChelleyCredible]

@rkwatson  I like how you kept your cool. I hate people who are impatient.

[QIKings]

@rkwatson i think this preety much sums up how i react to people on a daily basis when they are like this thank you you made my day :D

[SatanMostPowerful]

@igniukas10

She's in love with her own voice.

[NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

I think that you sould maybe try harder to put all the scepticism behind you. I mean, I don't believe in this "hate-apple-decays-more" thing, I think it sounds ridiculous. Still, while you're carrying out the experiment, you should try to put more soul into the things you say to the apples. And another thing: are you shure you shouldn't open the jars and speek directly to the apples, instead of speaking to them through the jar?

Hope this helps in you search of "pure science"! xD

[SimplyInsanity7]

your teeth are jank

[VeryEvilPettingZoo]

Since you put the apples in the jars before adding the mustaches, and since the jars aren't clear, there's really no way for the apples to see the mustaches. Perhaps when they were first applied, the apples might have peeked through the jar window. Next time, maybe just apply the mustaches in the dark, or while covering the jar window. More important, however, is that the Hate Apple can't peek through its jar window to see the Love Apple's happy mustache all day.

[paisleythehpfan]

Maybe you should adjust your tone of voice. Yell at the hate apple and coo at the love apple.

[thostrup16]

@paisleythehpfan Ooh, no... That would be varying too many factors. Only one factor, what you are saying to the apples, should be varied. The others should be kept constant.

[microwizard]

You shouldn't have picked up the containers with the apples, as bruising will speed up the rotting process.

[eatmcdonalds]

how do i join the facebook page? where is it? :P

[thostrup16]

This is awesome! "Meh"

[randompplzdoinrandom]

meh

[LaBellanator]

aha... get a life

too much free time??

[liverpool12397]

its was vere gud

[VeryEvilPettingZoo]

Call the additional control quarter apple The Apple of Neglect

[XECuteAble]

@VeryEvilPettingZoo I LOL'D so hard when I spotted your comment - "The Apple of Neglect" LMAO

[szombiemek]

Prettier in this video :D. Not funnier. Boring for sure.

[froggynichole]

aha its a mario mustash not a vilion aha

[Eventallermidgett]

hey and stuff

[dalemillssydney]

As each apple has facial hair, their might be some gender issues. Perhaps there is an inappropriate eroticisation of the woman-apple relationship. Perhaps the hate apple likes being verbally abused, in some sort of sexual fetish way. And you call yourself a scientist.

[billythefifer]

If they are french apples should the labels be in french. *chuckles*

[alankelly83]

pretend the hate apple is Sylvia Brown!

[BrotherAlpha]

Peer review... or Pear review?

Ha ha ha, fruit pun!

[pdjamesc]

Hmmmm, I'm really not sure about the way you spoke to the 'love' apple. If it wasn't into you that might just make it feel uncomfortable.

Maybe next time you could have one platonic apple, and pursue a more intimate relationship with another.

[kmaglion]

Two possible missing controls: 1) You talk to all of the apples for rather different lengths of time, which could be important if vibration, agitation, or even change of ambient heat or light were issues. 2) You talk to them all in the same tone of voice which, though amusing (and I'd really not have you change it), would be a big issue if vibration were the mechanism responsible.

[halleyscomet]

You know, I think you may be getting prettier in subsequent videos...

That or you just have better lighting than in the first Apple video.

[ligurmatic]

I'd say that's a Poirot moustache, so perhaps you may want to try insulting it in Flemish.

[NegativeNick]

you have too much time on your hands

[qaddodi]

does science lead the sane to become INSANE o.O!! i quit skol guys!!

[darxx69]

Time to speek whit apples not the same.

[fly44d]

Rebecca, you are not nearly mean enough. You need to visualize a burka or Ray Comfort while speaking to the hate apple. :-)

[Mayanstudios]

You're glasses are fucking awesome :D

[farvision]

Invite Christians and Muslims to pray for some bananas. See if they can prevent them from turning black.

[freedomtruthfreedom]

unleash fury on the hate apple! It'll only work if u tear the hate apple a new one. Maybe get a guy in there to do some yelling. double team style?

[callumCGLP]

Great video - awesome experiment. Keep up the great work :)

[lyvvie]

Surely the Hate apple should have the ginger mustache. You could call it names and make it insecure about its gingerness.

I'll have to give this a try. Thanks for the fun, Rebecca!

[0platypus0venom0]

It warms my heart to see so many people concerned with the scientific veracity of this experiment. Even if it is in jest, it shows that there are people concerned enough about truth, logic, and understanding to make sure even a joke experiment is valid.

[Evolutionist1859]

"I would totally hit that."

LOL!

[AtheistKharm]

and did you clean those jars before you put them in! What about rubber gloves when you cut the apple!

[554466551]

Shouldn't the control apple be left entirely alone to decompose as an apple naturally would? It might be affected one way or the other by having the slightest bit of attention paid to it.

[chewingwax]

First of all I think in the interest of humanely treating your fruit, you should at least put the apple to sleep by maybe putting it in the freezer for a few minutes before you get all psycho with a butchers knife on the poor thing. Also, since the second half to be sliced into quarters had to witness the first half being bisected, perhaps it suffered more of a psychological trauma and therefore the butchering of each half should be done out of sight of the other.

[ScepticalAgnostic]

I would argue that the hate apple needs more belittling and rage behind it. After all, it might misunderstand your passive-aggressive attitude and shrug it off, accounting it to a misguided attempt on your account to help it survive.

(:

[opcn18]

Two thoughts, first the n is way too low! but you already knew that. Secondly, How long are you holding them in your hands, and how tightly. Body heat = faster decomposition.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

I just realized that your voice is kinda like daria :D

[bhank21]

didnt' the mythbusters do this same thing with plants?

[lehman]

@bhank21 Yes,

they also did a test with apples and pyramid power and they had the problem with the knife being dirty on one side .

[ChilapaOfTheAmazons]

Sorry about going off topic in the middle of a scientific experiment, but still: LOVE your glasses!!!

[rhyfelur]

I saw this exact same experiment, only they actually had sex with one of the apples and not the other. They just made the control apple watch. After a week...well, you can imagine.

[BionicDance]

One of your apples should also be dressed up as a robot.

[arkne]

I can't help but see a face on the jars. The window is the mouth, and the plastic ring at the top looks like a Cylon eye.

[FluffMachine]

mmmm.... peanut butter.

[GoblinXXX]

"Conclusion- Apple with moustache is deaf"

[Cainula]

Bitchin frames Becca

[BGenerous]

Hilarious!

(and thanks for the footnote!)

[Mastikator]

That compliment you gave to the apple was great.

[theinquisitor]

Seems like the hate and love are increasing. Will you be doing violence to the hate apple tin and kissing the love apple tin by the end of the experiment?

[Aerosteon]

Thanks for taking my advice on sterilising the knife. Washing your hands before handling and doing everything else possible to avoid contamination is what researchers do when conducting serious experiments similar to this.

I have an alternative hypothesis: Bacteria grow faster when you insult them. Bacteria are slightly closer on the phylogenetic tree to Humans than apples, so I'm going to try to make myself prettier by insulting myself.

[Keippernicus]

As long as we're being rigorous here (facepalm into finger pyramid of evil contemplation) shouldn't this be conducted with multiple types of apples? Maybe Fiji apples are more/less resilient to love and hate than granny smith or golden delicious...

[jlamoree]

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but it would be useful to blind the apples. Perhaps instead of mustaches, use a random number to indicate which apple is getting the love/hate/meh. Doing this would prevent the apples from looking out their windows to see what their cohorts are receiving. Unless the recipient apple is supposed to comprehend the message each day. But that would just be crazy.

[awesome220]

Please talk down to me.

[651478]

Are you sure that these apples understand english? Where are these apples from?

[GoblinXXX]

@651478 Good point. If they're FUJI apples, you may have to speak Japanese to them.

[AtheistKharm]

good point, I think you should try some conveying emotion in other languages as well. haha

[thirdclass2006]

Interesting glasses. Never seen that style...

I never gave though to microbes. That may have been what allowed others to get away with their results.

[samten54]

What are you doing to protect the fruit from free floating prayers?

[lazyperfectionist1]

Nice little bit of alliteration.

[amandarandom89]

pear-review? I thought this was about apples :p

[tanderullum]

@amandarandom89 *applauds*

[luckystrke]

You should yell at the Hate apple! Raising your voice will probably make a huge difference :P

[personalsinr]

that poor, poor hate apple. You're going to give it a complex.

[BGenerous]

@personalsinr Surely Rebecca got approval from a medical ethics review board and informed consent from the apple before starting the experiment. :)

[Katalyzt]

★★★★★

[alien8ted]

Potatoes may have eyes, but apples don't have ears! RK FTW!

[CousinoMacul]

@alien8ted You're getting to the core of the problem.

[lazyperfectionist1]

Bad pun!

[GoblinXXX]

@CousinoMacul DOH! I aPEEL to your sense of decency, no more puns!

[mbutchin]

@alien8ted Well, maybe there should be another experiment using EARS of corn...?

[lazyperfectionist1]

Of couse. Ear review.

[Unbeginner]

Just check the first video.
