Is this the most erroneously named fruit of all time? Yes.

They used to taste much better, enough to actually justify the name. They didn't look like that either. Farmers specifically bred the ones that produced the brighter red color at the tradeoff of taste and texture. The end result is what we have now: a nice looking red apple that tastes like wood and sadness

tl;dr consumer whores ruined a perfectly good fruit to make it look better

i ordered a dozen pink ladies and they just sent me a box of apples?

I've had black small apples in the winter. What are they called? I've never found them anywhere else.

The Red Delicious is a utility fruit best used in cooking. Turkey stuffing and chicken Normandy come to mind.

Maybe you developed an allergy to apples. Something similar happened to me and watermelon. Ate them fine for 16 years of my life. Got an allergy test after it happened and yep I'm allergic.

Granny master race

>>8180929
He means the red delicious variety

>>8180939
Never had a gala? They're pretty good when they aren't ripping your gums asunder

>>8180962
I was just joking

I wouldn't know myself since I'm allergic to apples ;_;

>>8180851
Probably, but it's weird because it only happens with raw apples, so I never thought to get a test

>>8180994
When apples are processed their proteins change and don't cause allergic reactions.

Most erroneously named? Probably not. One half of the name is correct, but the apple isn't red.

>>8180218
Fat fuck.

Who the fuck gets allergic to apples? Fucking nerd.

It was always shit compared to other apples. It gained popularity because they last forever. Most of the red delicious apples you find at the grocery store were picked atleast 6 months prior to getting to the store. Since they're built like bricks stores can keep them a long time too
