how the fuck did this top 5 even happen? are people such sheep that they'll eat literal garbage if they're told it's good?

red delicious used to be good.
they fucked with the fruit too much and turned it into a cavendish.
these days just wait for good varieties to be on sale, picked up some honeycrips for a buck a pound this week.

>honeycrisp

Why is it so expensive, bros? I don't want to pay $3 a lb for fucking apples, but honeycrisps are so good.

Who the fuck is eating Gala apples in a world where Honeycrips exists?

Why was it ever the most popular? The most plentiful, maybe, but popular? I've never met anybody who likes them.

The skin is super thin and fragile so the pickers have to cut the stems very short. Pickers get paid more for the same amount of apples, meaning each apple costs a bit more. Yea the price sucks, but I feel it's worth it.

Delicious, cheap and nutritious?

>>11143222
Too soft and sweet, what have people got against crispins?

>>11143500
The thing is that red delicious aren't bad when they're fresh, but they are usually eaten like 8 months after they've been picked and the texture's gone all mealy. The problem is that the sturdy skins they have keep them looking fresh after a year in cold storage, so people sell them anyhow.
