Just like dating apps, after choosing a fruit they are interested in, users will be launched into a scripted chat with their chosen fruit where the fruit’s true character will show. The narrative of the more “perfect” fruits will reveal a more narcissistic personality, contrasted to the bruised more down-to-earth fruits who show themselves to be even better choices than the photogenic fruits.
