I'm old enough to remember when Red Delicious were the bomb. They really fucked them up by heavily breeding them for a tough skin for travel. They were so popular in the 80's they bred them to shit.

They didn't deserve this future.

I miss my Red Delicious.

Oh, holy crow! I wasn't just wearing rose tinted glasses, they actually do suck now?! I can remember Red Delicious apples in the 90's that'd make you wanna slap your grandma.

Not crazy. I live in Apple country (Ontario, Canada) and Red Delicious were my favourite apple until my 20's.

A Red Delicious used to have a snap to the skin when you bit and a crisp crunch with a semi-sweet flavour. As time went on they bred more and more for the thick skin because it was so popular. In breeding that thick skin a lot of times what you get is an apple that's mealy inside like a MacIntosh (fuck those abominations).

As opposed to the current version, which makes you wanna slap your grandma.

The "best for" entry for Red Delicious on the site is "compost."

It's about right.
