Last weekend, I was in the organic produce section of the local market, and I saw a sealed plastic package with four apples in it. Plastic is a strange sight to see in the organic section, but more strange was the title on the package: Grapple! Pronounced like Grape + Apple!
At first I thought, 'wow cool, they've genetically crossed grapes and apples! Neato, I've got to try this!'
Then I sniffed the package.
It stank like the Barbie aisle at Toys 'R Us.
A Grapple isn't a cool result of bio-engineering. A Grapple is an apple dunked and soaked in artificial grape bubblegum flavoring. Eww.
