A live D3.js visualization renders a bowl of fruit as five apples, which are then dynamically eaten or swapped for lemons over three seconds. The SVG scene uses `d3.scaleOrdinal` to map fruit types to specific radii and colors, with a red apple and yellow lemon. The `fruitBowl` function manages enter, update, and exit selections to add and remove circles and text labels for each piece of fruit, driven by a timer that mutates the data array and re-renders.
