Anyone else think Bulmers are overdoing it a bit with the 17 apple varieties?

  1. I never drank this or thought about it.

    But I agree, saying made from select apples seems better. (but worded by the marketing time). The finest 4 apple varieties

    Unless it’s being marketed as a Blur of different apple flavours for maximum apple, the melting pot. This is the future liberals want.

  2. It reads like “we put whatever apples we could find into her” or “we couldn’t decide so we put them all in” or “we’re not fussy”. Which is to say, maybe not the best thing to put on the front of your product.

  3. Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady. That’s all I can think of. My nanny’s cooking apples. Crab apple. Pine apple. Yeah, they’re overdoing it.

  4. They state it as a positive, but it probably means they’ll take any auld shite from whatever apple producers.

    Apples are wonderfully weird though. If you plant the seed of a Pink Lady, you don’t get a Pink Lady tree. You get a completely different apple. All the Pink Lady orchards are created with grafts.

    Time was, families would have their own apple variety, and efforts are now being made to preserve them. There are some really out there varieties that pop up randomly.

  5. There’s always ‘Cac an Gé’ – (Goose Shit) apple variety

    They grow the trees locally in the ‘Cluain Meala’ – Clonmel
