It is a kind of apple originating from the bonneappolé region of France which is full of calcium btw,i t is hard like a bone anf it tastes weird on its own but goes great as a tea. It was so popular among the proletariats that they would drink it before every meal but the bourgeois in France liked it too albeit secretly but they didn't wanted to with associated with it so eventually one certain travelling noble burghers that went by the name of Jean Désosser Pommes noticed this and decided to start a business selling them and investing in it until he owned all the stocks for the trees and controlled the price which he would now sell at exorbitant prices which was naturally a god sent for the bourgeois who could now drink it before they had their caviar as it became socially acceptable among their class. Jean Pommes had started to become increasingly influential and rich but his greed was unending so he shorted the stocks of his trees to create a scarcity but unfortunately for everyone, they faced great floods, war and calamity until not a single tree was left hanging. The people fondly missed the beverage and would instead just say boneappletea and make a gesture as if they were drinking it in remembrance. This has become a habbit of the people living there and only few remember why they say it. very-smart
