Baseballs do present a challenge to this theory, but I’m convinced we just haven’t found the right seasoning.

    By the logic of this graph the Earth is slightly more tasty than the moon, yet the moon is made of cheese. Explain that, XKCD.

    “Hyperbolic” this, “logarithmic” that, I’m here to propose a radical new theory: all spheres are tasty, your mouth just isn’t big enough to have the right tastebuds for the larger ones

    Ice bergs. They are kinda round (less so with larger ones) and they are freshwater so entirely edible. According to the graph the object would taste “ok” which is a perfectly adequate description of drinking water.

    I bet you could find 800-meter comet made out of ice. I would argue that the water tastes “ok”.

    We don’t know if the earth isn’t actually tasty, maybe the sum of all the tasty parts outweighs the taste of molten rock and dirt

    Peppercorns?

    Whole and spherical, not particularly tasty. Changing their shape via grinding, however, unlocks fought-wars-over-the-stuff levels of tastiness.

    Please explain.

      They just have too much taste condensed into a tiny sphere, like mass in a white dwarf star. Grinding them down actually extends their surface area and if you were to toss the ground pepper in the air you’d create a haze of taste that may or may not cause a burning sensation in your eyes and respiratory system
