Grapple

Recommended Posts

He's got the description just right. Grapple. They're weird, which is why every kid wants one, generally only once -- because they're weird.

The texture when I bought them (they come in plastic-bubble 4-packs) was that of an old apple; not real appealing. But yeah, they did taste like grape juice-infused apples.

Ok so what do you all think? Grape flavored apple: Miracle of Science or ABOMINATION? Your calls, after this!



I saw these in King Soopers a couple days ago.
Is that where you saw them?:D

They've been around a long time; I think I bought them in the late 80's or early 90's, I think. I have a feeling that at any given grocery store, they last a few years, lose their customers, and then come back again a few years later, when there are all new customers.

Okay, from the web site:

This Patented Process is complex and the ingredient mix primarily includes concentrated grape flavor and pure water (USPP #7,824,723). All ingredients are USDA and FDA approved and the process has been licensed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture.



I see. They've taken something perfectly normal and healthy, and "infused" it with shit to make it taste "better" and sell it for a higher price.

/sigh

Whoever thought of this needs a punch in the nuts.

When I want an apple I eat an apple when I want grapes I eat grapes. Leave the poor fruits alone people!

BTW~ if you say grape slowly - it SOUNDS like apple! :)

Hybridization of fruits is a centuries-old practice. Yes, I know this is infusation, and not hybridization, but the point is still made.

The guy who first combined chocolate with peanut butter was a genius. Ah, but I digress.



Imagine how limited the varieties of wine would be if they didn't!

If I want something infused, I'll drink gin.

This isn't a matter of hybridization or infusion as a process, but really what other chemicals, sweeteners and crap are involved that they aren't telling you about.

And just think, they not only trust me to go into a burning building but they also trust me with people's lives. :P

Scary thought isn't it. :P



Well, if the building is already burning, you can't hurt it much can you?:D

maybe that's why they tasted so old.
