These fuckers rate pink lady a 90 but give granny smith a 57 and lemonade apples a 63? Lost their fucking minds; pink lady are just decent and are only saved by their price point. Can’t even compete with modern hit-or-miss honeycrisp. No way in fuck are they the third-best apple variety.
Yeah, no shit lemonade apples don’t taste like you’re drinking lemonade. That’s a problem for like the first one you eat if you’re really susceptible to marketing, after which you can just enjoy them for what they are: a solidly above-average apple with a unique background lemony flavor that are fun to mix in with other apples.
The granny smith, meanwhile, is a fantastic pie apple and a great sour apple, and most of the review is spent whining endlessly about slightly thick skin (literally good for you, arguably one of an apple’s few advantages health-wise over other fruits) and dense flesh. This rating in particular is deranged.
Edit: Holy shit, they rated pink lady a 3.5/5 on tartness. In what universe?? In. What. Fucking. Universe. It’s got practically zero tartness.
Also, complete double standards. Granny smith gets basically its entire review dedicated to denigrating dense flesh and thick skin, but pink lady with its thick skin and dense flesh is called “dense enough to hammer a nail” by its review, and yet these two factors are only treated as mediocre on the bar graph whereas granny smith got a fat fucking 0 for both. What a hypocritical load of shit.
Granny Smith is an absolute disgrace ! As flaky as my [insert vulgarity here] and no bloody taste at all. Are y’all tastebuds used to eating raw corndog or what ? On the other hand Pink Lady is an absolute banger, sweet, juicy, firm and heavenly.
What the fuck kind of pink ladies have you been eating (ooh err matron etc.)? They should be pretty tart, not the tartest apple in the world but 3.5/5 seems fair to me.
What the fuck kind of pink ladies have you been eating
Ones that are very slightly tart, and given the tight licensure, I’m not willing to grant loose quality control like I do for honeycrisp for why they don’t live up to this alleged true potential.

I respect your rant, but Pink Lady fucking slaps.
I love your dedication to Granny Smith, and I support you in your rant.
This is the kind of Opinionated Internet Discourse I want to see more of in the world.
I fucking love granny smith. Best apple ever. Juicy, slightly sour, a touch tart, perfectly refreshing on a hot summer day.
I’ve always found pink lady to be weird. It’s just so flavourless, the flesh consistency is like wet, gravelly sand, and it gets mushy so fast…
How would a pomaceous connoisseur such as yourself explain the difference between sour and tart to an uncouth swine such as myself?
It’s like the difference between having an air of mystery and a sense of je ne sais quoi.
Tartness is just on the tip of the tongue, sourness is everywhere in the mouth.
Tart = good palate cleanser, gets you ready for the next thing
Sour = everything you eat after tastes sour, too
I too, am a fan of the granny
I like granny smiths but you and I must be getting different pink ladies. For me they’re crisp and bright, sweet and just a touch tart.
Tech. What’s really bothering you isn’t the opinion content, is it? It’s the editorial sloppiness of the place. The applerankings world needs you.

And Fuji were “Horse Food” and are now “Barely worth it”! Totally do not agree with their palate, love their dedication and sharpness!
I’d steal a fuji apple. I would use other apples as a throwing weapon
I was gonna say, Fuji are incredible, homie has a weird palette for sure. Best I’ve had out of the 20 or so I’ve tried
Pink lady is my favorite. Pretty darn tart, I would say.
