If you plan on keeping them for some time, don’t forget to put them in the fridge. This will preserve them longer. If you leave them tied up in a plastic bag in the pantry you’re liable to forget about them until well after decomposition has set in.

Women are like human beings.
Men are like human beings.
Analogies are like feathers on a snake.

Gather up the ones, on the ground, fallen from the tree, and make yourselves a lovely wine.
Smeghead:
I prefer oranges.
It’s really not fair to compare the two.
They’re more fun to eat when they’ve been thoroughly soaked in rum or brandy.

Girls are like apples on trees. Plentiful access at affordable rates makes Michigan a common tourist destination for day trips in the fall.

OK. Read below first. And if you disagree, say why you disagree. And, disprove the lines below.
“Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren’t as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when inreality, they’re amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who’s brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.”
I disagree because girls aren’t passive apples waiting for some guy to expend effort to come get them off the tree. I play by rules in which neither girls nor boys are apples and we all climb in the tree. Neither sex a universal commodity, nor a universal consumer.
The OP is about sour grapes, not apples.
Since this has ripened into more fun, less opinion, I’m going to put it in a bushel basket and haul it over to MPSIMS.

Either one; she drupes to conquer.
I take my apples like I take my women.
Sauced.
To quote from the noted spiritualist, Meher Baba .
Just as the apple possesses a variety of unarguable properties, all of which belong to the same object, so other objects and organisms often give evidence of numerous aspects of reality. The same fact in life looks different therefore to different people, its appearance being determined by the particular window of the spiritual nature from which the individual looks.
So go climb on THAT for awhile!

Ulfreida:
If you want your girl to last, put her in an environment controlled for temperature and humidity, and possibly controlled atmosphere. Optimal temperatures for long term storage are 30 to 32 degrees F. Keep in mind that girls respire and soften twice as fast at 40 degrees F than at 32 degrees F. You may need to use supplemental humidification, such as fog spray nozzles.
Addition or removal of gases resulting in atmospheric composition different from normal air is being used in controlled atmosphere (CA) or hypobaric (low-pressure) storage to extend the shelf life of girls. It is an adjunct to low temperature storage, not a substitute. . . .
I had to look up controlled atmosphere (bolding above added) to be sure I was remembering correctly. I was. In CA you add enough nitrogen gas to drive the oxygen level down to one or two percent.
Ouch. Two minutes in the bad joke box.

Oh, yes indeed. They’re pink and firm and juicy and delicious to eat and…
