Bad Apples ???

Can anyone tell me how to "see" if an apple is bad ? Without being able to touch it now, so no picking it up & feeling it. Do they have an odd smell, look different, etc. ? And how long does it take for apples to turn bad ? Can't apples could be kept for a long time if kept cool & not dropped etc ? After an apple turns, can anything be done with it other than throwing it out ? Like putting it out for birds, squirrels, etc. I really needs some help with this, because I just may have some bad apples & I don't want to open the bag & touch them if they are bad. I'll be sick to my belly & running through the house gagging !!! Tammy

You know, "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch" so I say just ditch the bag and run!!!!!!! Apples (much like mushrooms) need to be stored in a cool, dark place to slow the aging process, but you know we don't know how old that apple was when we acquired it and it may have lived a goodly long time in a cool, dark place before it moved into your house with your family....I dunno.... Smoochies at ya! Arlies

They are in the trash !!! YUCKY YUCKY YUCKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you giving me the look because of some "floweredy purple panties" that someone who will remain nameless was wearing ? Tammy

Well you know purple IS a Queenly color!! And that's all I am sayin' Smoochies Arlies

Tammy girl what the heck are you talking about? Maybe I'm wrong but i since there's an insides joke that this ole girl is missing out on!! Or maybe I'm not the only spactic person on here and your nuts too!Just throw them apples away if there bad an go buy some more. Do you need me to bring you some sunday, I've got some good ones! DAWN

No Joke !!! I do ( did ) have a bag of bad apples !!! They are in the trash !!! Girl, I love apples !!! BRING THEM !!! Tammy

I've usually always been a good judge when it comes to the sourness of apples. But lately they have gotten smart and try to trick me. I have been bitten by a few batches of bad apples and have decided to just revert back to my oranges. They are much sweeter anyway.

YA'll ARE WIERD !!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I LIKE WIERD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAWN

OH !!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE ORANGES !!!!!!!!! But, I can't have them. They break me out I been having problems with apples also I guess. I thought they would last longer in the original bag & in the frig for several weeks. I guess not though. They must have been old by the time they got to my house. Maybe I should go to grapes or naners. With those, you can easily tell if they are bad. Oh well, for now...... I'm fruitless !!!! Tammy

Bad Apples? Hmm.. Nothing worse than that!! That's about as bad as "sour grapes". I say just throw the bad ones out and keep the good ones. Can't wait until tomorrow!! Rhonda
