Watson and CrickCardo

December 15, 2023 By Paul

In the studious groves of Guacford University, two bright-minded avocados made a discovery that would forever change the landscape of botanical genetics. Meet WatCardo and CrickCardo, the scientific duo whose relentless research into the perfect guacamole recipe accidentally led them to unravel the mysteries of the Avocado DNA—otherwise known as the ‘Avocadome’.

It all started in the quest for the Holy Guac—a guacamole so divine, so perfectly balanced, that it would render all other dips obsolete. They mashed and mixed, seasoned and tasted, blending varieties from the Hass to the Fuerte, but the secret eluded them. It was during a particularly vigorous bout of mashing that the breakthrough came. WatCardo, in his enthusiasm, slipped on a cilantro leaf and sent his papers flying into CrickCardo’s mixture.

As they picked pulp from the pages, they noticed something peculiar. The seeds had split, and there, in the mess of avocado and scattered research, lay the structure of the Avocadome, twisting and turning like a double helix, but with a twist—it was a double guac helix! Each DNA strand was a chain of creamy green, dotted with the occasional tomato and onion sequences.

The discovery was revolutionary. WatCardo and CrickCardo quickly mapped the Avo Genome, charting out traits like butteriness, peelability, and pit-pop-out-ability. They found the gene responsible for the ‘solo-dolo’, the solo pit that makes solo guacamole a breeze, and the ‘never-brown’, the elusive trait that keeps avocados green forever.

Their work was heralded as a stroke of genius—though some whispered it was more of a stroke of luck. Nonetheless, the pair went down in history, not just for their contributions to science, but for the laughs they provided along the way. Their accidental discovery didn’t just advance avocado science; it provided the world with the perfect guacamole recipe, though they kept that a closely guarded secret, encoded within the Avocadome itself.

And so, the legend of WatCardo and CrickCardo lives on, a tale of tenacity, a slip on a leaf, and the serendipitous science that gave us the double guac helix and the best-dressed chips in history
