Is there any product with less truth in advertising?

A good Vidalia is actually pretty sweet.

We have "Noonday Onions" here that are a lot less hot and don't make your eyes water when cutting them. Also have to "10-15" onions from down in the valley that are pretty sweet for a onion.

Sautéing em’ concentrates the natural sugars in em’ and they’ll eventually caramelize and turn golden brown...they’re pretty sweet then. Love em’.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

If a person could cut into them at the store to check it could take the "depends" out of it. If it's truly sweet, I pay for it; if it isn't, it stays.

Walla Walla sweets, eat them like an apple. This side of the Rockies, you can pretty well depend on a Walla Walla Sweet to be exactly as advertised. You throw about a 1/2 inch slice on a burger. But they don't store well on the kitchen counter or in the 'fridge. About 30% of US onion production comes from within a 30 mile radius of where I sit in Eastern Oregon. The growers got hold of Walla Walla Sweet onion seed. But Walla Walla Sweet is trademarked by the Walla Walla Growers Assn. So locally grown sweet onions are in the store labeled as "Oregon Super Sweets" or labeled with the grower's name as a "Sweet". Vidalia is popular for it's flattened shape as well as its flavor. It was developed for the hamburger industry so there is little waste from cutting off the top and bottom of the bulb. The sweetest of Vidalias are sourced from low sulfer soils.

12.5 % sugar! Sounds like it meets advertisement. The Vidalia onion is an ordinary yellow onion that develops an extraordinary sweetness. The Vidalia onion found at your local grocery each spring is so mild and sweet that it can be eaten like an apple. Vidalias contain an average sugar content of 12.5 percent -- that's sweeter than Coca-Cola.Jun 16, 1999 I have seen late season sugar beets processed which were bouncing around 12% sugar content.

Baked Vidalia's are sweet and delicious with a steak. Core out the middle; stuff with butter. Few dashes of Worcsestershire. Seasoning of choice. Wrap in foil and bake in oven like potato or ; better yet, on a Big Green Egg and let the bottom caramelize a bit. This and some sautéd Chitakes on my Ribeye, please. Thank me later

I've found most onions to be fine when cooked, I would like to have a slice of raw onion on a sandwich without my eyes watering and my nose running.
