Isn't that the truth! I quit buying apples because they're not as good as
they were when I was a kid! I remember being able to bite off a huge chunk
of a red delicious. Now, they're all grainy and mushy and leave kind of a
sour taste on your tongue. I'll bet Bob's correct in saying it's the
apples.
