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

By this logic, beachballs are okay-tasting.

I argue that the real equation would be some form of y= 1/x

Based on volume, a baseball would still be in between a grape and a melon, so y=1/x doesn't work either.

I'd go for a density based equation rather than volume.

You'll never want to taste anything else, that's for sure

Assuming taste is also logarithmic, it actually is y=1/x
