That $15 bag of organic apples that rotted in 3 days
I specifically bought a bag of Honeycrisp apples from the Fresh Market on Elm Street last Tuesday because they looked perfect, but by Friday half of them were mushy and gross. I mean, for $15 you'd think they'd last more than a few days. Has anyone else noticed the produce at that specific store going bad way faster than it should?

Man, that's rough. I've gotten to the point where I check my apples so carefully I feel like I'm doing a police inspection, and they STILL go bad on me.

Three weeks is actually really solid for store bought apples if you think about it. Most of them have been sitting in warehouses and on trucks for who knows how long before you even see them. You're probably checking them too late, the damage is already done by the time you get home from the grocery store... I buy mine from a local orchard, pick them myself usually around late September, and they'll last until January in a cool basement. No joke. The trick is getting them straight off the tree when they're actually ripe, not the waxed stuff they ship across the country.
