The Evolutionary Journey of the Grape

Okay, so the professor has a stumper today.

Once I tell you what it is, you will be as shocked as I was when I first learned about it.

It’s the sort of thing that messes with your brain once you have thinks on it.

So, here’s a grape:

Here’s a grapefruit:

So, now, this professors asks you: Do these two fruits share anything in common but a name? Is there any reason why the fruit of the grape is larger, pinker, oranger, and more attractive than the grape itself? Why does it have an outer shell?

Now, I must needs present a theory: The Evolutionary Journey of the Grape.

First, there was a grape.

His name was Larry, but that’s not important.

Then, one day, Larry blushed and became this:

Larry then had a family.

However, here’s the thing, at this point, Larry was quite defenseless, see. Even the worm could kill him.

So, he grew bigger.

Larry, in his prime.

But even this didn’t save him from the worms.

Beaten and bruised.

So, Larry grew a tough outer, pink/orange coat. The lowly grape, Larry, had had it’s fruit.

Larry.

Now, this professor thinks this is a rather good theory. But we must keep in mind that all grapes did not take this evolutionary path.

For instance, Giselle, just decided to evolve legs and run from the worms.

Giselle, without make-up.

Yo. Fetched.
