These fuckers rate pink lady a 90 but give granny smith a 57 and lemonade apples a 63? Lost their fucking minds; pink lady are just decent and are only saved by their price point. No way in fuck are they the third-best apple variety.
Yeah, no shit lemonade apples don’t taste like you’re drinking lemonade. That’s a problem for like the first one you eat if you’re really susceptible to marketing claims, after which you can just enjoy them for what they are: a solidly above-average apple with a unique background lemony flavor that are fun to mix in with other apples.
The granny smith, meanwhile, is a fantastic pie apple and a great sour apple, and most of the review is whining endlessly about slightly thick flesh (literally good for you, arguably one of an apple’s few advantages health-wise over other fruits).
I fucking love granny smith. Best apple ever.
Juicy, slightly sour, a touch tart, perfectly refreshing on a hot summer day.
I've always found pink lady to be weird. It's just so flavourless, the flesh consistency is like wet, gravelly sand, and it gets mushy so fast...
How would a pomaceous connoisseur such as yourself explain the difference between sour and tart to an uncouth swine such as myself?
I too, am a fan of the granny
And Fuji were “Horse Food” and are now “Barely worth it”! Totally do not agree with their palate, love their dedication and sharpness!
I’d steal a fuji apple. I would use other apples as a throwing weapon
I was gonna say, Fuji are incredible, homie has a weird palette for sure. Best I’ve had out of the 20 or so I’ve tried
What the fuck kind of pink ladies have you been eating (ooh err matron etc.)? They should be fairly tart, not the tartest apple in the world but 3.5/5 seems fair to me.

Ones that are very slightly tart, and given the tight licensure, I’m not willing to grant shitty quality control like I do for honeycrisp for why they don’t live up to this alleged true potential.
Tech. What’s really bothering you isn’t the opinion content, is it? It’s the editorial sloppiness of the place. The applerankings world needs you.

I love your dedication to Granny Smith, and I support you in your rant.
