They said the avocados were at all stages of ripeness. They got something like 300-400,000 of them. I can't imagine they looked at all of them. All of the pics I saw looked like good avocados. Not trying to be a dick, just saying maybe don't write off the free avocados entirely.

I may have just been there for a bad patch of them. Figured I’d warn those hiking down to South Philly before they waste their day.

I've heard from multiple people that they were given ones that aren't even ripe yet

Got mine yesterday and they're hard as a rock, which hopefully means I'll have time to come up with enough recipes to use them in

I got some as well and they were all very fresh and hard to eat. A little fuzziness on the stems but I wash them all off and they are good to go. Definitely have heard some bad ones around. Definitely hit or miss and I'd say people shouldn't be afraid to say these ones are bad.
