THIS APPLE WOULD KILL YOU - 1 YEAR underwater

This is the video thousands of you have been waiting for. After the success of my previous apple-in-water time lapse (What if you left an apple in water for 202 days?), I've listened to your feedback and taken the experiment to the next level. This time, the apple is fully submerged for an entire year using a gooseneck from a pop filter to keep it down.

Fun fact:
Apples are made up of 25% air, which is why they float in water.

1st UPDATE: The last version of this video received 400K likes.
If this one gets 450K likes, I'll begin a 5-year time lapse of an apple in water. Let's make this happen! It would be longer than the "Whole watermelon" one :D

2nd UPDATE: A lot of you asked for microscope video of the apple. It's already up on my channel!

Read the following if you don't know what this video is about, and you need some context:
Following the feedback on my last apple-in-water time lapse, (Title: What if you left an apple in water for 202 days?- 16M views, 400k likes, 17K comments) from nearly 2 years ago, many of you wanted the apple to be submerged for the entire experiment. In that video, the stubborn apple resurfaced after a 38 days. I didn't want to interfere with the time lapse, so I continued filming it like that.

I pinned a comment under it to gauge interest in a new experiment, and the response was amazing! With 76, 000 likes on that comment, it was clear that you wanted to see this happen. Thanks to your input, I've now kept the apple underwater for a full year using a gooseneck from a pop filter. Even with this setup the apple wanted to escape once, but I put it back into the water. :)
Enjoy my new attempt at the apple-in-water time lapse, and I appreciate your continued support! If you shared this video with someone that would be a huge boost, thank you!

If water did that to an apple, imagine what it’s doing to your insides. We clearly need to stop drinking water.

To think I had lost half my friends, got my heart broken, re-met some of my closest friends I haven’t seen in years, cried over nothing, and this apple was just… underwater

The dedication of recording a 4k time lapse for a YEAR to make a 7 minute video is insane

So for anyone wondering, the two layers on the top are the pectin from apple (to really oversimplify it, it's a sugar acid that lines the walls of terrestrial fruits and this is what becomes the jam part of fruit jam) and the layer on top of it is a thick colony of algae, which are just tiny cells that form these green colonies, basically. If you have a freshwater aquarium you have to clean them out, like, all the time.

This is also the reason why it didn't smell bad or rotten, nothing here was rotting - the algae were probably feeding off pectin and with a film THAT thick, no air and no bacteria were making it to pectin, so the only smell you get is the smell of algae, and they smell of, well, pond.

Finally, someone who washes their apples properly.

I followed your applesauce recipe and it turned out delicious! My kids and I love it! Thank you so much for sharing!

[BappySqubbers]

Thank you so much! I finally know how our schools prepare their “pears”.

Imagine you're waiting 1 year for this, this would take top tier dedication and patience.

Finally someone who captured the essence of apple products.

As the days keep increasing, all I could think about was the life he was living behind the camera, the number of good news, bad news and everything in between he had to deal with and then come back to squeeze a rotten apple 🍎

[apersunthathasaridiculousl]

I wonder if bro just has a warehouse full of rotting things in front of cameras, and each day he just checks them all 🗿

[hanajak]

I'm amazed it still retained its shape. The last few days of it just hanging in the water surrounded by murk were haunting in a way

[xeltanni]

Oh man, this is going to be good! I can't wait for days 58 thru 68, especially; I've always heard those were the most interesting!

[wizzleriocrt]

Its amazing how many significant moments theres been in life this year all while this apple was just floating in water..

Interesting that the water actually kept a part of the apple from completely decaying. Or at least slowed it down significantly. Would love to see the 5 year time lapse.

1. What was the temperature of the water? Were there any fluctuations throughout the year?

2. Which water did you use? Was it tap or bottled or any other kind.

3. Did you wash and dry the apple? Or did you use it right from purchase.

[vidyagaems]

I didn't expect it to be so much less rotten. Judging by the gunk on top, the sugars probably fermented into vinegar and that slowed down further rot. That, plus the gunk preventing oxygen from reaching the apple.
Now I really want to see an apple in CO2 or pure nitrogen. Or at least an airtight container.

I am SO interested in seeing what some of these things look like under a microscope after the whole process. I'm sure the water is absolutely teeming with microbes, and I wonder what the sludge on the surface is mostly composed of (a bacterial mat, possibly?). I bet the cellular structure of the apple would also be visibly broken down. If you see this comment, I'd love if you took the microscope idea into consideration!

The apple at the end is every time I think I buy a crisp apple from Wal-Mart.
