> Personally, I can't even wrap my head around the concept of the galaxy being a grapefruit and the next nearest grapefruit is on Mars.

This is exactly what Mia was talking about. Imagine what it's like being in lectures, being told that your entire world is based on the interactions of breakfast foods. It would boggle the mind. And growl the stomach. The exams would be made easier, though, because they'd just be menus.

> There are grapefruit on Mars?

Of course there are. Where else do you think we get them?

> And if this galaxy is a grapefruit, is Mars *inside* that grapefruit when we say the other grapefruit is on Mars? And what if you think of it from the perspective of the grapefruit on Mars, if it was a sentient grapefruit? Where would the galaxy be then? How many grapefruit are we talking about here, in an infinite cosmos, or are they ALL THE SAME GRAPEFRUIT infinitely reflecting itself within itself?

They're philosophical grapefruit. You know, those pink ones. So they can be everywhere and nowhere all at once. Philosophical grapefruit can exist within each other and stretch on to infinity without problem, which makes them all the more appealing when you're really hungry.

> Would the universe be easier to cope with if it was less bitter and citrus-flavoured, like for example a Cadbury Creme Egg on Mars?

I couldn't imagine a Brunnen-G in a Cadbury Creme Egg universe. Unless that's what Sosiqui is.
