Default Ripe Apples DON'T Smell Bad

Thats because apples are not true fruits.

Mangoes, peaches, guava, bananas, the SE Asian durian fruit, papayas,
and nectarines are true fruits. That is why they stink badly when ripe.
Their stinks is increased exponentially if they are canned. It probably
has something to do with the sugar in the canned variety. Often canned
fruits are bathed in sugary syrup. Perhaps the sugar reacts with the
certain ripe chemicals of the fruits [including but not limited to
esters, aldehydes, and terpenes] and thus produce a stink.

I can't stand it.

Sour, unripe red and green fruits are so fresh, sour, energizing,
clean, rejuvenating, lively, and effervescent. The perfume of heaven is
the scent given off by these fruits

Ripe yellow fruits, OTOH, are stinky, stale, tickly, annoying,
irritating, frightening, and putrid. They make my skin crawl. Eww. Its
the smell of hell.
