Imagine if the apple you were eating for breakfast had 291 ingredients, or if the car you drove to work had 291 parts.

I got curious and I noticed that depending on how you count, an apple can have way more ingredients than what I’d guess you think. This site,for example, gave me ~53 http://www.englishapplesandpears.co.uk/apples_nutritional_composition.php An you find similar examples googling “how many ingredients are there in a apple”

An a car with only 291 parts seems to be something unthinkable nowadays. Toyota estimates about 30000 parts in a car. http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/kids/faq/d/01/04/ (for kids 😛 I know)

Anyways, I liked the analogy and the examples, but after some googling them I guess they were not the best.
