Red Delicious and probably Golden Delicious, which have been around forever but have generally declined in popularity, are likely sweeter than any of Gala/Fuji/etc. varieties.

As another comment notes, Granny Smiths tend to be cooking apples for which they're very good.

Red Delicious are my least favorite. The skin is chewy and the fruit is mushy/mealy. I've never liked them.

Some older people like them as it’s easier to chew. It’s really great we have various types available in bite hardness and flavor (sweet to sour).

There’s a ton of types of corn, potatoes, chile but you mostly just see 1 type of corn and just 3 or 5 of the others in the US.

Yeah, supermarkets have a disproportionate number of apple varieties compared to pretty much everything else. Might be a couple varieties of local corn but more likely at a farm stand than the supermarket. 3 major categories of potatoes plus small ones. Yeah, maybe 5 kinds of chilis. My farm stand does have more varieties of things like eggplant and squash.
