GRAPPLE fruit - what a sham !!!!!!

[KevinPage]

So I was finally able to try this new "Grapple", a combination of a Fuji apple and concord grapes. I've read about it recently and people said it was pretty good, so I had my Publix supermarket order it.

Wife brings it home yesterday, tried it, tasted like a nice combo of a grape and apple, very heavy smell to it though (of grapes).

When I read the ingredients, it was: Fuji apple and articial flavor

WHAT?!?!?! Not a cross pollination of the fruits?

So I go on their website and here's the real kicker. All they do is put a Fuji apple into some water and grape flavoring, let it soak for 2 days, then put it in cold storage. TA-DA, your new product called a "Grapple" (pronounced Grape-L)

While it tasted good enough, at $1 per apple not worth it since all it's 'cache' went right out the window when I found out it was "artificial flavor"

Yeah, I saw them in the supermarket too, and thought that they are getting creative with crossbreading, until someone told me the same thing you just posted. Nothing is better than an apple with artificial grape flavoring added to it, and then charging an arm and a leg for it.

DARN THEM... I wanted a cross breed... (goes into secret lab crated a real apple-grape....) ok.. i give up... Bring in the FBI.. They are lying!

I fell for the same thing!

One dollar a grapple... and it tastes like crap. :lol:

That's it. I'm sticking to my loranges.

amateurs... don't they know the only way to crossbreed 2 different species is to get them drunk and have chef sing to them?

I've seen these at Publix and had thought about trying them. Glad I didn't.
