It seems to have inspired an even better review, of the Golden Delicious:
> [...] with our collective distaste for the Red Delicious fully realized, this ill-fated adopted brother may as well be called the “Golden Bin Laden.”
I have a golden delicious tree in my yard, and the apple are amazingly good. I wonder if there isn't a bias against apples like red delicious, yellow delicious and Granny Smith that store very well and may be getting stale at the time of purchase. For example, mealiness is usually an indication that an apple is getting stale.
Weirdly, this isn’t the first bias I’ve seen against the golden delicious — which is still one of my favorites — and excessive fawning over the honeycrisp.
I suppose I don’t disagree with a lot of elements in the general order ranking, but listing the honeycrisp as a 90-point apple and the GD at 33 seems…extreme.
(And I fully realize the absurdity in calling an online ranking of apples “extreme”)
