Today's Special Value

[CJC]

Not the greatest gift for us older folks who are trying to take care of whatever teeth we have left!

Quite a big difference in price if you order only 5 instead of 10 apples. Feel foolish not to get 10 but I only want 5. I would think cost to ship 10 would be more than 5 but I guess not. I know shipping things that need to be shipped cold is expensive.

Sugar, sugar, and more sugar,  Oh, and how about some more sugar, carrageenan, GMO maltodextrin (aka sugar), hydrogenated palm oils, and sunflower oil?

@Chiefsuperfan - Did you see the nutrition label, that a serving is only 1/4 of an apple?  And in that 1/4 of an apple there are 23 grams of added sugar over what naturally occurs in the actual fruit?  
23 grams is close to 6 tsp. of sugar.  

(eta - correction of added sugar in teaspoons)

Ordered years ago. Apples were bitter! We cut into each one. Threw them out.

[sunshine45]

everyone asks if we are getting "the apples" this year.

LOL, i cannot NOT order them.

all age ranges LOVE them......toddlers to my 85 year old mom.....and everyone in between.

I always like the idea of these to give as side gifts however, I only have on fridge and around the holiday its full as it is, can't imagine storing all these apples until I give them as a gift.

Ha - yes I don't imagine Laurie Shore herself eats many of them.  She just gives them to other people.

Once I saw the ingredient deck I was totally turned off. 

Take a plain GS apple and cut in small pieces, eat one choc chip with each piece, I do this all the time and am very satisfied, a lot less junk and excess calories and sugar.

@Shelbelle I like your idea.

I prefer their Pink Lady caramel apples which aren't offered until December. They taste better.
