The Newtown Pippin Apple
(hexbear.net)
Hmmm i like red apples, yellow ones too
Where's my beloved Ginger Gold?
Hot take: all apples suck, shittiest fruit good only for turning into something that makes you drunk, be that cider or mixer.
EDIT: I will happily die on this hill as long as you don't plant an apple tree on it
I will fight you over this, apples are top tier fruit. Too many other fruits rely on a subtle colour change to tell you the 5 minute window when they're ripe (I'm looking at you bananas and pears)
Apples meanwhile are easy, you look at it and you know it's terrible to eat
Bah, I've lost count of the fruit I've wasted because colourblindess makes it almost impossible to pick good fruit. Apples are consistent, delicious, and by far the best choice in my situation.
Also fruits are bourgeois decadence anyway, real proletarians live off root vegetables and local forage

Lmao Pippins are for cooking, not eating. At least Orange Pippins are.
Apple rankings are fake
Apple breeds and cultivars are fake
Apple's taste depends way more on the health of the particular tree and soil than the "cultivar". I've had so many apples from the "same cultivar", even bought from the physically same grocery store only 1 year apart, that taste completely different.
The only breed I've had that maintained any sort of consistency is the Fuji apple (and also the standard Red/Golden Delicious and Granny Smith, but these suck for eating raw). And even then the Fuji has deteriorated a lot over the last 2 decades--I first noticed this in 2011 and it was confirmed via a study in 2013.
Stuff like Pink Lady, Lady Alice, Honeycrisp, has never had any real consistency over the years
Granny Smith, but these suck for eating raw
Wrong
