25 Differences: Blueberries


The first time I did this assignment I used a carton of blueberries that proceeded to be eaten the following night. After learning that I actually needed those guys to create a composition, I bought another. Unfortunately, that poor carton was fated to grow moldy with neglect -- but in my defense, what kind of ethical supermarket sells berries that go bad in three days? Anyway. Here I am. Take three. Better late than never, eh?

Shape:
1. Spherical
vs.
2. Disc-shaped, flatter
3. Symmetry of form: "star" on top aligned with "bellybutton" on bottom
4. Round
vs.
5. Oblong

Size:
6. Disc-shaped berries tend to be larger, wider
vs.
7. Rounder berries tend to be smaller
8. Varying heights of raised edges of "star"
9. Size of "bellybutton" not always proportional to size of berry

Color:
10. Blue skins all over
vs.
11. Red skins on bottom surrounding "bellybutton" of the berry
12. Darker, saturated skin shades
vs.
13. Lighter, desaturated skin shades
14. Yellow stains when squished
vs.
15. Purple stains
16. Yellow flesh inside
vs.
17. Green flesh inside

Texture:
18. Wrinkles of the skin
vs.
19. Smoothness of the skin
20. Speckles in the skin
vs.
21. Uniformity of color and shade throughout single berry
22. Dents in the berry
23. Squishiness
vs.
24. Firmness
25. Juiciness when squished
