    yeah i'm gonna have to call bullshit here. cultivars can certainly change over time because they're living things, but like if i go pick a honeycrips or sweetango from the grocery store it's gonna taste really good and it's just entirely different from a gala, the difference between cultivars is extremely obvious even if they're not as consistent as a processed product like cheetos. that website even talks about consistency and locality, assuming that the reason fuji apples are popular in japan is that they actually do taste better over there.

      depends on the cultivar, some are pretty consistent (fuji) others not (pink lady, lady alice)

      I'm not talking about slight changes like the fuji has gone through, I'm talking totally different tasting apples under the same cultivar name, from the same literal farm with a year of each other
