Ha! It’s been a while since I’ve seen that type of peeler. Makes sense that it was popular in the 50/60s my grandparents had one. I recently bought a peeler that I don’t like and I’ll try the Jonas one.

  Why peel apples? I do cut it in half and take out the core, but that is mostly to be sure there is no Griswald.

    If you are cooking with apples as an ingredient, the skin will often be a textural problem. If you're eating a fresh apple, it generally isn't an issue.

      Touching apple skin with my teeth gives me the same sensation as fingernails on a chalkboard. I don't have this issue with other fruits, just apples for some reason.

    I have young kids under 3 who will point out the smallest speck of peels and reject the Apple slice.

    I'm allergic to the skin.

My favorite is the lathe type apple parer (peeler corer slicer). Probably an overkill for eating an apple, but perfect for cooking a few. Invented by David Goodall in 1864! Not because Americans are bad at peeling but because people made all sorts of things with apples and because of “yankee ingenuity”. The first apple parer patent was granted in 1803! https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com//items/apple-peeler-corer-and-slicer https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com//items/apple-peeler-corer-...
