At the risk of starting the most boring rave ever, how the hell did I live 34 years without ever trying honeycrisp apples? These things are incredible. I only bought two- and they were expensive- but I'm already plotting my next trip to the grocery store to buy more.

I've gone through two bags this year...my favorite part of autumn.

Someone was telling me how great they were, and they're actually cheap here so I picked up a bag. No thanks, I'll stick with golden delicious.

I'm good with golden delicious, too. Just about any apple is great as far as I'm concerned.

But these things are so incredibly sweet. It's like a fruit consisting of ground up puppies and kitties and two year olds and double rainbows.

Maybe after the newness wears off, I won't like them as much.

Honeycrisps are good, but Granny Smiths are the best.

I used to eat those all the time when I worked in a grocery store. Also ate tons of raspberries cuz [expletive] paying the exorbitant prices for a box of those.

Apple snobs!

/Fujis rule.

Granny Smiths are probably my least favorite because of how tart they are... but I really do love all apples.

Normally, my favorites are golden delicious and fuji.

Braeburns and Johnnagolds are where it's at.

Honeycrisp is a fairly new variety, I won't pay the extra price for them.

FYI-granny smith's are for baking, or eaten raw-giving you the squirts.

Notice how when you go to the apple dept of the store - it's something like this:

2 Honeycrisps $3.00
Braeburns $1.89 per lb.
Fujis 3 for $2
Johnathons golds 2lbs for $4.99
Golden delicious $5 per bag

Give's me a headache. Congress needs to pass the "Fairness in Apple Pricing Act"
