You cut one onion for ½ avocado?

@SaulMeyersz :| . . . oh Ok I missed that part U.U

[SaulMeyersz]

@oishiininja he said he "tested his theory" so hes claiming it as his own idea

[oishiininja]

@rrrrrrrrreee he said He "found out"

not " I invented or discover"

@sharpey3000 I'm guessing a white or brown onion would work but white and brown onions are so strong they will flavor your avocado where as the weaker red onion will not taint the avocado anywhere near as much

[sharpey3000]

it has to be Red onion?? why the white ones doesn't work??
