If Honeycrisps are ever to be accepted by the masses, they need to get real about the price.
I don't know. I suspect that it's part of their marketing plan to make them seem really special, compared to other apples. In my grocery story, they make a big deal out of the Honeycrisp - setting them in a separate location, waxed and polished, with a big sign and lots of room.
In my neighborhood, as well, they're too pricey to sell many, so I imagine this works best in wealthier parts of town. But even here, I imagine that people splurge occasionally by buying this really 'special' apple, rather than the cheaper apples available. You get what you pay for, right? :-)
