So, which method wins? It depends on your vibe. Are you a chaotic, low-equipment hero? Paperclip. A zen minimalist? Chopstick. A practical human who values time? Buy the tool.
Here’s the real takeaway: you don’t have to suffer for cherry pie. The joy is in the eating, not the pitting. Treat pitting like a tiny, satisfying victory lap.
Now go. Buy some cherries. Pick your weapon. And show those pits who’s boss. Your future self—the one eating a flawless, pit-free slice of pie—will be so proud.
