Got a pack of C. Crisps from Costco two weeks ago, and they were awful. Little flavor, mealy texture. They looked beautiful, but that had zero crunch, and really bland flavor.
Figured it was a bad batch and bought another dozen from Fred Meyer. Same thing.
Is something going on in the world of apples? I get they’re not in season, but this seems extreme.
I used to absolutely love pink ladies, but a few years ago I noticed that every time I got them, they were really hard and lacking in flavor. I kept buying them for a while until I realized I couldn’t remember the last time I enjoyed one. It’s possible I’ve been extremely unlucky, or that I’ve only bought them out of season, but I’ve stopped buying them altogether.
