Grapples -- will kids eat more fruit?
Posted: March 15th, 2008 - 9:09pm by Doug Powell
Daughter Courtlynn and her friend Emma discovered a product I'd never heard of or seen while grocery shopping today.
Grapple. "Looks like an apple. Tastes like a grape." Apparently Grapples have been around for a few years. The bag of Braeburn apples I bought were $1.70/lb; the Grapples rang in about $4/lb.
Courtlynn said she liked the idea, but was underwhelmed after consuming one.
"Tastes like an apple."
