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.

You use apples because they didn't have bananas back then
And gooseberries are just too small to be convenient.
The Hello Kitty unit of measurement is recognized by all.
She also weighs three apples, and is a human -not a cat.
Me And my wife argued about this all the time. It took forever for her to realize she was arguing weight instead of height. 😂
the smurfs are three apples tall, she may have mixed them up
That is an interesting factoid. I always figured the top be 1 apple at least.
So, like, half a Smurf?
Precisely
