Have you tried a Grapple, yet?

In My Humble Opinion
1

A Grapple is an apple that tastes like a grape. I saw one for the first time last night. Samples were offered, and I tried it.

I was confused. Crunchy like an apple, but grapey like purple grape juice. It wasn’t bad, but not worth $3 for 4 apples.

2

Figured it would turn out to be a new Google function for Mac users.

Man, those things are weird. I didn’t really like it. I’d rather just have a nice crisp apple, or some juicey grapes.

2 questions:

  1. Why would I want an apple that tasted like a grape?
  2. Who thinks up these names? Grapples and Pluots just don’t sound like things I want to eat.

I was imagining some sort of Redd Foxxian combination of Grapes and Ripple…

Mmmmmmmmm… frankenfood.

Seriously, who was asking for this? Has anyone ever awakened one day and thought “Wow, what a lovely day. The sun is shining, birds are singing, I’m healthy and happy and, wait, you know, I really would like an apple that tastes like grapes. My life shan’t be complete without one!” Somehow I don’t think so.

So this is what grapple grommets were invented for!

Grapple Grommets. For decades, a solution without a problem.

I saw the OP title and thought, “Snapple now comes with grappa? Cool!”

9

Ah, mad scientists. “And now! A monkey with four asses!”

10

“Grapple?” Why didn’t they call it an “Ape?”

11

I tried them. They were ok. The grape flavor could have been a little stronger, but the smell was really strong. It tasted and smelled like grape candy. Too pricey, but I might buy them every once in a while.

I don’t think it’s Frankenfood…it’s a processed apple. From the site linked above:

And the ingredient list?

Count me a big :dubious:

13

Artificial Flavor??

Sounds to me like they ruined a perfectly good apple.

I’d rather have a Grape Juice and Ripple.

Can you imagine sitting down on your couch to watch a ballgame, and biting into a big juicy ape?

Now you have your answer.

Yet another thread that could have used the unique talents of The Grapist…

I’m impressed by the phrase “strict Grapple standards.”

I imagine a “substandard” apple on a threapists couch, bemoaning the fact that he is destined for an apple cart, an cobbler, or even a pie. The one thing that this apple was born to do, what he spent his life training to do (become a grape), and he can’t do it. That must cause some serious self esteem issues.

Poor apple, wineing because his dreams died on the vine.

And a Fuji at that.

Bastards.
