I went to the supermarket the other day and saw a big bin in the "seasonal produce" section prominently labeled "McIntosh Apples". It was full of nice, unusually large mac-like apples. Clearly this season's fruit. "Gee", I thought, "I didn't realize the macs were in, yet." Then I looked more closely. Every apple bore a little sticker stating "Paula Red".

I bought a few. They were very good, and did taste a lot like macs.
