Granny Smith is severely underrated here. This site is like hipster-tier ratings of vinyl with a bunch of obscure stuff nobody ever heard of to try and appear more sophisticated.

#162Disappointed to see my favourite Apple ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_de_Boskoop ) missing...
Also Elstar is missing, that would be my everyday goto apple https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elstar
One reason many European varieties may be missing is because the apple market is pretty regionalized (95% of apples sold in the US are grown in the US), unlike the bananas market, which is hyper-globalized.

You don't understand Nevermind wasn't actually all that good Bandwagonesque BY Teenage Fanclub was actually better and more instrumental into turning the early 90s into an audio experience.

Re: Apple Rankings
#166Per other commenters, Granny Smith gets downranked for being a mediocre apple for eating plain in-hand, but it's great for using in salads. We have a Granny Smith apple tree and we dry all the apples in a dehydrator and it makes the best apple chips.

#167> the most overhyped apple of all time
Good to see they've got Cosmic Crisp properly described.
Re: Apple Rankings
#168The best apple I ever had was a Fuji apple… in Japan. It's never that crisp in the US. I don't know why they rank Cosmic Crisp so low. I rank it neck and neck with SweeTango.
Organic Fuji apples in US can be pretty good, I certainly wouldn't categorize them as "Horse Food" as the site does. I like them better than Honeycrisp (and similar) which are almost sickeningly sweet to me.
I also like Gala which this site ranks as "mediocre". It seems like the author just likes super sweet, crisp apples.

#170Absolutely appalled there are apples below Red Delicious on this list.
