It had it coming!!
Btw, the last time I made the mistake of attempting to consume a Red Delicious, I was disgusted by how sweet it was. It’s bizarre to discover that the RD is not appreciably sweeter than other popular apples.
RD, Fuji, Granny Smith: they all have about the same 14g of carbs in a 100g portion. I don’t know what to make of these data: Link to USDA Nutrition Data, Apples
Could it be that RD has nothing else going on in the palate range but its sweetness?
