Crappy clementines this season?

Is it just me, or have this season's clementines been a big disappointment? I've bought 3 boxes of the Moroccan ones, and they've been variously rotten, dry, or flavourless.

Where are the sweet little juicy gems of other years? Easy to peel, easier to eat...Just wondering if I'm having bad luck this year, or have others experienced clementine crappiness too?

    We bought a 3 lb. sack at Costco in Woodbridge on Saturday and they are tiny and absolutely delicious. We served them on Saturday night at a party at our home and I've taken a bunch to work the last few days and everyone loves them. They are from Morocco and I haven't seen a seed yet. Not so easy to peel, but delicious!

      They're colourless, odorless and tasteless. Have checked all 'round Mississauga and they suck. Hopefully there's another orchard somewhere in N. Africa with nicer fruit that we'll be seeing soon.

        Same here. I was hoping it was just bad luck. I have only tried one box so far this year.
