Idk where I learned this but the reason people loved Johnny Appleseed so much is because all those apples could be turned into cider, and distilled liquor is fucking expensive when it arrives by covered wagon
you know whats weird. they really spent like 5 years of our childhoods really fucking gassing up Johnny Appleseed. would not shut the fuck up about him. like he was some legendary american colossus or something then after 4th grade he evaporated like yezhov from that stalin photo
