Because you can patent an apple, every time someone buys one of these, a bit of the money goes to Washington State University, because they were the people who cross-bred it.

Other times Washington State University came up

  1. Wow. It might actually be mothed. That's very cool. I was looking up mouldy cheeses or soft cheeses. There's a cheese called Cougar Gold, which is made in Washington State University. This is really weird. It's canned soft cheese, but it's canned when it's still in the curd form. It develops as it ages. As in it's not, once it's gone into the can, it doesn't stay the same.

  3. It's got taglines which include the apple of big dreams and imagine the possibilities. They've hired an ex-astronaut called Leroy Chow to be a social influence of plugging the apple. Wow. Its actual name is WA38, and it was patented by Washington State University. They developed it, and so this has been launched as a thing. Sorry, this is all sounding a bit hashtag Spong. It is, and I'm just feeling sorry for the career of Lee Rochow, which has clearly taken a dip since his astronaut.
