    Someone explain to me why Red Delicious is still a thing in a world of Cosmic Crisp?

      Is it still a thing? I thought they moved most of the existing red delicious rootstock over to cosmic crisp branches. And I also think the transition takes time, so there might still be stragglers. Cosmic crisp is less than a decade old.

        Beats me but all these old dry bags of sawdust are still being offered in all the groceries I’ve been to.

        You’re right! I just finished beating them now. Wait, I don’t have any kids, whose kids are these?
