My top 5 apples: opal, pink lady, kanzi, lemonade, granny smith

I think that I've had opal, but what do lemonade and kanzi taste like?

Lemonade are about as tart as granny smith but still sweet. Kanzi are very light and crisp, they’re usually smaller so it’s good for a quick snack.

I wonder if I've seen these in store around here. I don't ever recall lemonade being an option

Sweet tango, smitten, kanzi, ... All the corporate sponsored apples are pretty damn good. After they fucked up the red delicious and collapsed the apple industry not only did the government bail them out, but all these new delicious apple strains were developed in partnership with corporations

And gala and fuji and some of the older varieties are still good.

I’m a sucker for mutant stone fruit. Cherry plums, plum-apricot things, weird apples, I kept buying grāples one year and have never seen them again.

Me too! Although grapples are sadly just regular apples soaked in grape juice and not some freakishly delicious hybrid.

Yeah wtf I just looked it up too hahaha I’m such a tard! What did I think it was?

Yuck, I bought those one time and thought they were disgusting.

I ain't never heard of an opal apple (try saying that five times fast), but I'll try to remember this list for later.

I remember I tried it because it was the first time I saw a yellow apple that wasn’t golden delicious, which I didn’t care for.
