Overpromised, underdelivered

food fruit grapple

This package of Grapples (pronounced grape-el) caught my eye at the grocery store.

I was a little anxious before my first bite. I didn't know if the inside would be like an apple or a grape -- and I didn't know what to expect it would taste like.

As it turns out, the Grapple has the consistency and texture of a Granny Smith. The taste? Exactly like an apple -- but not a particularly flavorful one -- with a faint aftertaste of artificial grape, like a popsicle.

I'm unimpressed, and will buy regular apples in the future.

The only use I can forsee is a mild prank. It would be amusing to see someone's reaction if they thought they were eating regular apples.
