Ahem, Pinko...

It's shaping up to be a crazed week, but I did manage secure a box of these. If you haven't found any yet, and if I find a moment to actually taste them and put down some thoughts, I'll let you know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE:

Perhaps I can add a DoD for this disgusting product. Whoops! I already gave away my verdict!!! Here I thought science had created something magical and wondrous... a new kind of Asian pear (they've always had a Concord grape note in their flavor). I thought it was some kind of gene/plant splicing! WRONG! It's ARTIFICIAL! It's like they slathered the apple in grape Chapstick. :-P 

I am saddened.

Pinko- I'll eat some of the O's and will try to get something together asap. As I said, the week's pretty crazed. Thursday might be the soonest.

Oh gawd! YUMMO!
I don't think that these are in Canada yet, thank goodness. I bet they are awesome.

I dunno if we have enough of the population this laser-focused marketing department is targeting.

[Pinko Punko]

We have them. We got them this weekend!!!!
Send me in e-mail- we will tag team them, how about that?

Goob likes them. I will not spoil my punchline.

A bowl of little goatses! Lotsa scope for Substance!

According to Wackyracespedia Dulce de leche is sweetened milk what gets flavour from caramelised milk. Which a lot of foreigners like.
We won't be having it here in New Zild!

oh my god

Exactly. Perhaps there will be a Maple variety. :)

Bimler- do not encourage!

Pinko- please give me until Thursday. I actually have real life I need to focus on until then. It pains me to say that.

AK- Perhaps they'll add kiwi to their fruity-O's.

K- aren't you supposed to be training??

Oh, sure. you guys just go ahead, Delish-or-Disgust-posting, tra-la-la-la, no zombie comments, it is total party fun time for the breathers.

Sure. I get it.

Grapple's are soooooooo 2007. I thought they were awesome like lemon thyme or something, and then it turned out they were evil and fake. Though, thinking about it, is a fake flavored actual apple worse than grape skittles?

[Jennifer]

Has there ever been a DoD on brains?

Pinko- I'm glad I missed Grapple's in 2007, and wish I had missed them in 2012. I like some fake. I like fake grape bubblegum. I like Crunchberries... I like Whip 'n Chill! ALL FAKE!!! I did not like teh fake with the apple.

[Karla]

What I hated about the fake grape is that the scent last in my fridge for MONTHS after the wretched fruits had been banished. Yes, Jen, I was all mesmerized, too, thinking, that yes, this might be something like lemon thyme or lemon basil, or even like those fruits that look like white strawberries and taste like pineapple. I had steam coming out of my ears when I found out it was apples drenched in grape smell. Who does that and who actually thinks it is BETTER than a regular apple? (I do like the surprise of the Pink Pearl apples and don't mind that their taste and scent are just okay...)

I didn't realize that leeches were supposed to be sweet.

Could be a fine time to make use of that "15 minute" notebook!

Seriously, how long does it take to open a cereal box and snarf a handful? And if you have an extra two seconds you can get the doggles' opinions.

[Jennifer]

Could be a fine time to make use of that "15 minute" notebook!

LOL and DUH! :)

I haven't had much time for the 15 minute notebook this week. I'm behind on everything.

I have snarfed a handful, but I must pontificate!! There is nuance to be discovered!

He'll get my verdict tomorrow.

[Jennifer]

I'm a Biologist, not a miracle worker, Jim!

Slacker.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

I predict the doggles will enthusiastically approve of the Cheerios.

Just a little hunch, back at the office.

[herr doktor bimler]

What hunch??

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

DAMN YOUR EYES!

[Jennifer]

Fronkensteen!

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

I think we should arrange so all the blogs in teh 3Bulls sidebar are titled "ahem, Pinko"

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

...and then I will do a 3Bulls Ombudspost with the same title....

[Jennifer]

I think we should arrange so all the blogs in teh 3Bulls sidebar are titled "ahem, Pinko"

:)

FYI- I sent off my DoD this morning so Pinko should have a post up in 2 or 3 months. :)

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

...That I will be unable to comment on.

[Jennifer]

Surely when they do a brain post, you'll be the only one who can comment.

[Big Bad Bald Bastard]

"Grapple" is an unfortunate name, conjuring up such terms as "crap" and "scrapple". It's the kind of awful name that would be thought up by someone who thought an artifical-grape-flavored apple would be a good idea.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Don't call me Shirley.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

It. Has. Begun.

[Pinko Punko]

HA!!!!!!!

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Spoilsport.

My Ahemorrhage may have to wait until tomorrow, I'm beat.

They are clearly still in business, so someone, somewhere, is buying Grapples. It still sounds too healthy for this to be blamed on Paula Deen.

[Jennifer]

Mandos- somehow I missed the Grapple train the first time around, but judging from the quality of these apples, they could have been many years old.

[Mandos]

I've been googling around about Grapple and apparently (I don't know how far this is true, comes from a blog comment) the flavour is likely derived from a pesticide, not actual grape juice or even artificial grape "drink". "FDA approved", of course.

Also, there are a disturbingly large number of people who like it.

[Jennifer]

Mandos- the best I can describe the smell is "grape" bubblegum. It's totally fake. I can only imagine it comes from some heinous place.

We bought 4, but only sampled parts of 3. The apples themselves were pretty mealy.

While I love a good fake-grape flavor on a snowcone or in bubble gum, do not soak my beloved apples in it!!!!

[Mandos]

I actually like the real apple flavour myself, but am not so much fan of the apples themselves unless they are baked, dried, or chipified. My jaws hurt just thinking about apples. The apple "mouthfeel" to me is like the way some people feel about scratching a chalkboard.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Also, there are a disturbingly large number of people who like it.

Also applies to NASCAR, Ayn Rand, and Republicans.

my experience with Grapples:

Shawn: Boone, relax. We don’t care what Herb was up to. Put our differences aside and work together on this. Okay? Between the four of us, we’ve got what? Over three hundred years of crime fighting under our belts. What do you say? We’re the apples. You’re the oranges.

Peters: We got to be the same fruit.

Shawn: Oh, that feels reasonable. So much that it’s fair, actually. How about grapples?

Boone: I do love a good grapple, Don.

Peters: Okay, it’s a deal. We’re the grapples.
