00:00 Hey guys, it's blueberry season.

00:01 We saw a TikTok that said,

00:03 Jersey blueberries are the best.

00:06 Please support me in the comments.

00:07 You know I'm right.

00:09 We saw a TikTok that said,

00:11 if you put blueberries in your bowl to wash them,

00:13 the ones that sink to the bottom are ripe

00:15 and the ones that stay at the top are bitter.

00:17 So they will taste a lot more sour.

00:18 So we figured we would put that to the test.

00:21 Okay, so it does look like some made it to the bottom

00:25 and some are on the top.

00:26 So it looks like maybe we've got something here.

00:29 Okay, so the blueberries have been sitting here

00:30 for a couple minutes.

00:32 And as you saw, some sunk to the bottom,

00:35 some are still on the top.

00:36 I'm gonna try one from the top and one from the bottom

00:38 and see if this is true.

00:40 Okay, one from the top.

00:41 Delicious but sour.

00:45 And one from the bottom.

00:46 Oh my God.

00:51 I feel like I just had a revelation.

00:54 It's totally true.

00:56 Let me try one more from the bottom

00:57 to make sure it's a little more ripe.

00:59 I did not wanna believe that this was true.

01:05 Put them in separate bowls

01:07 so it gives the others more time to ripen

01:09 and you can enjoy them more.
