        Me And my wife argued about this all the time. It took forever for her to realize she was arguing weight instead of height. 😂

            That is an interesting factoid. I always figured the top be 1 apple at least.

    Are apples a standardized measurement? How many centimetres is an apple? How do you measure the apple? Is this person using this measurement jokingly or are they serious? So many questions.
