and what they did to it. World's best selling, and at the time, best-tasting apple that was in much demand. Altered it genetically to make it last longer, look redder, ship better....until now, where it's basically a pretty, red, tasteless piece of ****.
And now you see all the other varieties coming back. Galas, jonathans, honey-crisps, etc.
