What is with all the fucking Red Delicious apples being brown and rotten in the middle???? They look fantastic on the outside, perfect and oh-so-red, then to find out they’re rotten on the inside.
I’m so fucking sick of chucking out a perfectly “good” apple. I hate you Red Delicious.—Bye bye RD

Red Delicious are by far my least favourite. If they’re not rotten then they’re mealy and dry.
I always buy Macs because they are both cheap and consistently good. But my preference is a tart apple… anyway, I’m sure there is an apple out there for you, give some other varieties a try.
Braeburn never lets me down.
Viva the “buy organic” revolution!
That’s what you get: rotten apples. God I love preservatives!
who said they were buying organic?
Red Decayed you mean. Try PINK, CRISPS, or my favorite FIJI apples.
Try a Honeycrisp apple. They’re sweet like a red delicious but not mealy or dry.
^^^^ did somebody say FILTER BY IP ^^^^
I like Granny Smith!
You never know how tart it is going to be…
I also enjoy Fiji, and lately have also enjoyed Jonogold as well. I find the Macs this time of year can be pretty bruised, but it depends where you go to buy them. Most RD are a little to GM looking for my liking anyway…
WTF is wrong with that guy and why does it have to be everybody else’s problem?
I still say Filter by IP becuase it’s a pain in the ass to have to setup a new proxy every time you get spanked… Buddy, get a coping skill, get over yourself and get some help. Really! There are drugs out there designed just for your kinda problem. For example, presecription strength cyanide *wink*
(wish I didn’t have to work today… this could be fun, hehe)
Jesus loves you.
To answer the original question regarding core rot (seems red delicious are naturally susceptible):

Russets #1 forever, Macs and Spartans are old favorites too, but if you want to try something new go with Pinata, not sure if you have them out east, but they have a red/yellow delicious taste with none of bad stuff that goes with those. p.s. – Isn’t it Fuji not Fiji?.
I believe I’m with you Kay on wishing Christ’s infinite love and mercy on this little scamp. And by that I mean the kind that was dispensed so liberally at Mount Cashel, Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries, and the hilariously named Sisters of Charity orphanage that my dad was consigned to when he was 8.
I’ve been short a few things in life but NEVER short of words to say LOL
maybe just a little prozac would do but I recommend taking personal responsibility for your own happiness. Bitching/unloading/venting is supposed to help you feel better when you’ve been fucked over in life. Clearly it’s not working for you. Let’s pray and see if instead you don’t choke on genuine concern and kindness of strangers. You don’t HAVE to feel the way you do. Choose better, feel better and enjoy the sunshine today, right now…. it’s a start!
Be well you little pussy you 🙂
all right then… tell us what’s really wrong. Did your band fire you, did your girl think your porn was gross, did you get kicked out of the house, did you fail English, what is it? Really? Come on. Tell the bitches so we can help fix you up into being a better bitch 🙂
Cortlands are a nice winter apple. They’re not dense but they’re tasty, and the crop this year was nuts.
Granny Smith all the way for me. I like my apples tart.
Something tells me Sir Spams-a-lot is on multiple school compys, so an IP block might be useless. Just keep baleeting accounts and he/she/it’ll get bored.
the “venting” is ineffective because it’s not focussed on anything nor any one. What you’re doing is “bullying” (badly). Try venting THE PROBLEM. Come on, little one. You can do it. Climb onto Mommy’s lap and spew, it’s okay here. You can even feel a little sorry for yourself and someone here will stroke ya. Come on! You can do it. We know you can. Some of us have been there before. Let us help you be a better bitch.
don’t worry about me… tell us about you. Articulate the problem then share it. You’ll feel better! Promise!
It’s days like these that I miss Ginger.
I’m with ya on that one PDG. Granny Smith all the way. Red Delicious have to come all the way from Washington State 9 times out of 10, so they’ve got some 6000 kilometers to go when they come here. They’re not the best variety of apple overall anyways, they’re dry, flavourless, so on and so forth. They just look pretty. Hey, kinda like most Americans! All flash and no substance! BA-ZING!
Macalicious apples are awesome. Nova Scotia grown too. Mac and RD cross. Yum! My personal year’s supply is getting low. Hope to make it last until this year’s harvest! Russets are mighty tasty too.
As much as kay can be a pain, at least she’s entertaining. dead you’re a waste of oxygen.
how long has this crap been going on??? polluting the Coast.
can’t be too long since I’m still up on the top poster list but holy shit you rtard,
you’re worse that LS and weedhog were combined.
oh, and back to thread…
I like asian pears… it counts cause they’re shaped like apples.
i have a love/hate relationship with the apple and it’s lowly fruitmate the pear. some are good for cooking/not so good for biting…bananas and mangoes rule
#1 Fruit in North America – Banana
#1 Fruit in the World – Mango, I never would have guessed…
wow…i bewieve that they’re are over 80 varieties of mangoes in the world, they are funny things kinda like the avocado…hard/ripe/gross, mmm vegetable butter
Mangoes are the best fruit ever…no others need apply.
mmm mangoes, tho i am not fond of the papaya nor the guava
well done! Mine are the only posts that read weird in the thread now that the troll’s posts are gone. Live and learn, I guess… an apple a day keeps the trolls away, hehe
you fed em darlin…but we know what was there it’s otay
You handled him beautifully Kay. Sarcasm free congratulations. You have a nicely dry sense of humor that I never bothered to notice before. Nice to see at my age I can still learn. Thanks
I think you broke it HKM…repost it here.
No way…the apple lovers will pelt me with fruit = p
I thought we were done talking about apples.
I don’t like the 185 comment cut off. This sucks. I’m going back on my honeymoon.
Are you sure? The Religion thread went over 300.
I’m sure she’ll be impressed that she is 2nd on your list of things you like to do = )
i miss the religion thread
Yeah, that was an interesting one. I still haven’t reviewed the two-slit experiment. After watching part of it, I kept meaning to get back to it, but after many busy weeks, I’m burnt out.
Well, the large Hadron collider is up and running and no black holes or time travelling bosons yet…so maybe we’ll have time to keep figuring out the answer to that juicy riddle.
It’s a 5 minute animated video, HKM. Enjoy living with the mystery

I’m pretty excited about Hogan’s Noise days too… http://www.sciencenews.org/view/feature/id…
The one I have bookmarked is an 8 part series. It’s a quirk I have when exploring new ideas–sometimes I find it better to seek an alternative to the material suggested by people who are arguing a specific point. Not that they are wrong…only that I feel viewing a different source may add additional information to the debate.
Looks interesting. Although, the idea of the universe being a hologram/illusion is not new.
you’re right the idea is not new. The relatively cheap and easy experiment to help substantiate the theory is what’s new.
It won’t change anything for me though–I have no set beliefs on the nature of reality.
Actually, we hit on this during the Religion discussion when we spoke of the book, “Illusions”.
That’s like saying… even if Columbus does prove the New World exists I don’t care… that is, it would make no difference that the earth is actually round and not flat.
I suppose ignorance is bliss but I couldn’t know that for sure
No, I mean it won’t change anything for me in the context of how it will impact my beliefs as far as spirituality goes–I have already allowed for it as a possibility.
The number one fruit in NA is actually the tomato.
And Pluto IS a planet, and Copernicum is NOT an element…
Most of these comments are so annoying! Nobody gives a shit what apple is you recommend. This person obviously loves red delicious but is disappointed with the quality. I feel for you because I love them too but lately I have noticed the same thing and I agree, its such a let down!
The last few mangoes I bought were returned because of rotting brown spots on the inside without ever ripening. The mangoes are sometimes picked too immature and never get the chance to ripen before they start to rot. Sad really, when juicy ripe mangoes are soooooo scrumptious.
You are right baD mR fRosTy. Pluto is a planet, always has been a planet and, by Gesu, always will be planet. If you ever wish to campaign for public office on that platform I will be only too happy to ring doorbells for you. If the Vatican can apologize to Galileo then surely some “scientists” can admit they were wrong.
