Grapple
Yesterday I was saw something in the market (not my normal market mind you, I was in the infamous Rock and Roll Ralphs, market of choice for underfed wanna-be musicians and the Osbourne family alike) that made me stop and gasp. Packages of four ($5.00) seemingly innocent Fuji Apples, oddly, labeled “Grapples.” Upon further inspection I saw there was a list of ingredients, “Fuji Apples and artificial Grape Flavoring.” Yup, that’s right kids, in case you don’t like the taste of apples, or the juiciness of a grape, you can just bite into one of these frankenfoods instead! Whoo-eee. Amazingly, I resisted buying some because nothing could compel me to support the makers of this atrocity. Next up, Bluenanas!

You know I saw these in Safeway yesterday and was wondering what they were. I thought they were some kind of hybrid. Artificial flavoring in FRUIT?! What is this world coming to?!
a friend told me to try them and i actually wasn't sure about spending that much for fruit at a regular grocery store...but i bought them and thought they TASTED okay - i thought, "gee, how did they cross a grape and apple." then i found later it was flavor-injected/soaked. EW.
