The experience of biting into the glistening skin of a beautiful apple, tasting the luscious flesh of a flavorful fruit that resembles drinking fresh cider, the refreshing crunch that is capable of turning any “unhealthy” day of gloom into one full of energy, and the feeling of content that accompanies a first-class apple is lacking in the produce sold at convenience stores across Penn State’s campus. Unfortunately, the tempting basket of “red deliciousness” that occupies the check-out counter consists of unsatisfying, sub-par apples. From the outside, these fruits are enchanting, generating expectations of a delectable experience; however, at first bite it is evident that quantity is more important that quality. The apples are often bland, mushy, and, simply, unappetizing (adjectives that should not describe a fruit with so much potential). There is hope though. There is hope for the state of these apples, for I propose a plan to rectify the “distasteful” apples sold in…

capabilities as a normal perceiver. Though apples would appear what a normal perceiver would call green, a non-normal perceiver could still discriminate a Macintosh apple from a Red Delicious apple. Non-normal perceivers are thus functionally identical to normal perceivers. Nida-Rümelin, furthermore, argues that the experiences of non-normal perceivers would significantly differ from those of normal perceivers because of their inverted color perception. Because the cones of non-normal perceivers…
demonstrates the capability of colour to portray certain messages to the general public.

Red is a great attention getter. “When someone wears red they might feel the need to stand out and be seen or heard” (Mandell).
