Do these fruits taste better when roasted? 🤔#miwuscience #shorts #interestingscience

Sugarcane gets a glowing verdict; strawberries collapse into something the tasters would rather not eat. Miwu Science's latest Short turns a tabletop electric grill into a testing ground for a simple question: does warming fruit actually make it better?

The experiment drew roughly 334,000 views in its first 18 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first day for Shorts. Across Miwu Science's library, daily views are also running at nearly nine times their usual level.

The presenter starts with sugarcane chunks, which earn agreement around the grill. "Didn't expect the opening to be such a banger," he says. Strawberries fare much worse: the heat leaves them mushy, sacrificing the texture that made them appealing in the first place.

Orange halves provide a happier result, becoming juicy and aromatic, although the presenter cautions that overcooking brings out bitterness. Pineapple also earns a strong verdict, while mandarin oranges divide the tasters.

The comments include viewers recalling microwaved oranges and recommending grilled apples. Others admit they initially mistook the sliced sugarcane for a different fruit.

Then comes lemon, introduced with an online recommendation promising delicious results. The presenter's sister declines a taste; the two men go ahead and discover that grilling hasn't rescued them from its sourness. "Who said it's delicious?" his fellow taster asks. That question turns out to have a rather personal answer.

At first, I thought it was apple slices due to the colour, but it’s actually sugarcane slices😂
