The Largest Single Cell Organism

Valonia ventricosa, otherwise known as bubble algae, is the largest single-celled organism. Just imagine the mitochondria on this thing - remember what those are from ninth-grade science? Although it is something that lives in the ocean, it still looks like a giant grape that would taste amazing.

Does anyone else have a strong urge to pop it? That would kill it, but it is so tempting because of its bubble-like structure. It's like a squishy eyeball that you are technically allowed to squeeze. Can we at least poke it?
