Grapple, anyone?

My, my, my. Would you look at this? Someone figured it out! This is what we were missing all along. Apples that taste like grapes.

Get Fit is marketing Grapples as a way to prevent childhood obesity because, apparently, once kids get a load of the awesomeness of Concord grape-flavored apples, they'll trade in their sugary snacks for healthy Grapples and lose all sorts of weight.

Or something like that.

Unlike other hybrid fruits, though, like say tangelos (the marriage of a mandarin orange and a grapefruit), the Grapple isn't really a fruit hybrid. It's more like a fruit bath. The apple is bathed in grape juice, merely masking the taste of the apple in favor of the grape.

No longer do I have to think to myself, "Boy, grapes sure are good. I wish everything could taste like grapes!" Provided I do my fruit shopping in Washington, I can get my wish.
