SPIRITUAL CRISIS: What’s the best pomelo you’ve ever had?
sc4001992:
Cocktail grapefruit, Valentine pomelo, Thong Dee pomelo, Golden pomelo, and my best seedling pomelos.
I hear this others are good as well, Bien Hoa pomelo, Buoi Da Xanh , Bưởi Tam Hồng, Tien Vua-Red Pomelo, Thai Royal Red Skin, Honey pomelo, Halawa.

Ha ha! You need to be a writer!
Here's the best I've grown, and it's a pomelo, just like you asked:
Besides the sugar, it still had a slight sourness, so the taste was excellent!
Xenon:
Chandler is one of the worst pummelos imo. Low acid low sugar bitter aftertaste with mediocre pith to flesh ratio. Why was it ever popularized???
The trademarked Starburst pummelos from FL are very good overall. Maybe out of a dozen fruit, 2 or 3 will be exceptional to life changing good. Pink flesh Hirado Buntan from Florida is pretty good as well. I also had a white flesh one many years back that was mind blowing, I'm not sure what it was. The zippy sugar to acid ratio was perfect and it was intensely fragrant. It completely blew the Oroblancos I'd been eating at the time out of the water.

I found 3 seedling pomelo trees from other people's yard that are excellent tasting, these are my top 3 best tasting so far. Much better than any of the ones from UCR/CCPP or nursery varieties.

I can't help you with the pomelo crisis, but I admired the poetic doom-mongering of your post.
