In case anyone was wondering...yes the frunk can hold a bushel of apples.

How many pecks of pickled peppers?

Well, since you mention it………..apparently, a peck is an imperial and United States customary unit of dry volume, equivalent to 2 dry gallons or 8 dry quarts or 16 dry pints. An imperial peck is equivalent to 9.09 litres and a US customary peck is equivalent to 8.81 litres. Two pecks used to make a kenning but that’s now obsolete, and four pecks make a bushel.

Don't hide your light under a bushel or in your frunk.

Thanks! So how many pecks? On second thought I can calculate it myself!

he though we were putting the apples in our engine.

Banana in the tailpipe, apples in the engine. All lead to the same result: Immobile ICE vehicle. ??

To answer your question then, @AKgrampy : the frunk holds a touch over 15 pecks of pickled peppers, assuming you are measuring them in the US

What candela inhibit rating is that bushel??‍

 

[Engelbert]

A chaldron to a windle,
A beatment from a boll.
A basket rent to kindle
Damps a busheler's burning soul!

Candela inhibit rating should be clearly marked on the underside of the bushel next to the maker's hot-branded mark upon manufacture. This regulated procedure is followed worldwide, assuming you aren't looking at one of the black market knockoffs the criminal orchard underground was flooding the space with a few years back. Ruining things for the majority of growers and bushelers who play by the rules, as usual.

A word to the wise: be careful with units of measure. Bushels are like pennies in that occasionally you receive a specimen of unusual age that has somehow persisted in circulation for decades, largely intact if a bit worse for the wear. Should you happen to have an older (pre-1940s) German article, of which a small number remain in the wild due to their robust construction, you will need to convert the stamped inhibit rating value from units of Hefnerkerze to candela. Bushel stamps customarily omit units of measure, e.g. "HK" vs "cd" (or "NC" if you are sufficiently fortunate to experience the thrill of discovering a 1942-47 German unit in circulation!), meaning the required conversion to candelas is extremely easy to miss before use. This is a common error made by novice and experienced bushelers alike due to the relative scarcity of pre-war German specimens outside of museums and private collections. Don't let this mistake happen to you!

It may seem abstract and distant, but more than one respected industrialist has been hard pressed (for a time, before the requisite revelation and embarrassment) to explain why his bushel was roughly 11% more opaque to luminous intensity then its composition and construction could possibly allow! Markets pivot quickly on reputation in this business, and no respected busheler wants to go out on a Hefnerkerze error. With the industrialist at legitimate risk of committing this oversight from time to time, you can well imagine the threat it poses to the wider hobbyist crowd with more limited resources as individual enthusiasts. I will add to this the observation that the last thing we all need is yet another wave of overseas knockoffs taking advantage of these preventable mistakes to bolster their bogus claims of genetically modified lignin fibers, "super-opaque" barrels, overinflated rating stamps, and other such nonsense.

We went to visit family today and my uncle has a couple of apple trees that were ready to harvest. He said I could take as many as I want so I loaded the frunk up with around a bushel(42-48 pounds or 20 kilograms). These won't all be for fresh eating. I have a fruit press and most of them will be used to make cider.

Anyway, in case anyone was wondering this is what a bushel of apples looks like in the frunk of a Mach-E.

A sight we love to see! Thank you for sharing.

And here I thought that it only fit my chillin’ gear and me. ??

Oh my god, this will be the best thing I read all week. Thank you.

Be sure to keep the ac off, you may end up with some toasty crisps on one side if you’ve got a long way home!

Naah, we're way more fun. Especially when we're playing jokes on you two-leggers. ??

That, my friends, is what we in the UK call a froot salad!
