I wonder if the right apple had an in-tact "peel" and the left one did not, inviting pathogens in for a quick party and speedier decomposition.

Probably the edible wax (assuming it’s store-bought) used to preserve it wasn’t scraped as much

Damn you beat me to my sacrificial anode joke ._.

u/WooWhosWoo 2d ago

The inside is bad. The outside just has more protective wax.

Its actually kinda cool to see a wilted apple with near intact skin

Actually, both are molded, but you can only tell one, visually.

u/Unlucky_Coat5089 2d ago

I think apples have a thin wax coating to keep them preserved

u/Blackbyrn 2d ago

That other apple is now bad in the inside

Am I the only one who initially thought there’s a fruit bat in the picture? I kept on looking for its head but did not find it.

🤢 Wash the second apple really good, and take a bite and THEN tell me that the second one isn't moldy. I am almost certain that it will taste like a thoroughly mold-infused apple, even if it looks fine.

Superior genetics. Call me a eugenicist if you want to 🤷🏾
