The sweet ones are sweeter than any I've ever purchased besides real Vidalia onions.  We use a lot of onions....ease of not having to buy them.....habit....lol.  I had so many awesome onions last year.  I bagged them and kept them in the garage fridge.  I JUST last week had to purchase onions from the store.

Got it.  I always thought that an onion was an onion (of comparable types).  For me, if I run out, I can run to the supermarket that's about 200 feet away and grab more.  I wish I had more space so I could grown SE Asian shallots - they ahve a different water content than European style shallots and nowadays they're at least $8 per pound!!!!! And they're hard to find - I basically can only get them in Chinatown. Even the standard European ones are like $6 per pound now!
