They just inject grape flavor into apples. It's not the intriguing Frankenstein-fruit creation that they make it sound like.

I can actually smell them from here. Not that they're a million miles away but they are, say, 8 feet away.

I can't smell the bananas which are dangling no more than 3 feet from my nostrils.

The grapples though, I can definitely smell. It is purple grape, not green grape.

I can smell it.

Muddy, did you eat one yet? What did it taste like, look like? was it extra juicy? I've seen them at Sheetz all different flavors, I haven't tried them yet...I feel like puncturing the skin to inject flavor would cause early "bruising", and that is unappealing to me. Plus I can't help wonder exactly what it is they inject...does it add more sugar and take away from the healthiness of the apple?

Banana's are a strong sent to me for some reason. Bacon always has them, and that's always the first thing I smell when I open the fridge.

Based on normal eating patterns, I will have my first grapple on Monday evening.



Bananas in the fridge? Those must be some unhappy bananas.

the fucking clown beards that the dodgers closers sport are hilarious... they almost look like fakes with a bad glue job... do they really think they are intimidating?

People in Spain engaging in human tower building which, I guess, is what they do when they aren't carousing with scared, angry bulls.

 

[Mudcat]

The important thing to Spanish people is that their well-being is endangered for no good reason.

Here's someone who got injured building a human tower.

Damn. It would never have occurred to me that was a possibility.

Don't forget the tomato fights. A well place tomato can fuck you up.

Man that Rubyn really covers a ton of ground.

Is this POV from Bread's glasses?

Having now had 3 grapples, let me just say this: I believe a person's reaction to the grapple depends a lot on how much they like apples.

I myself like a crisp, tangy apple. An apple with a bit of zing. Pink lady works. Honeycrisp (although they are typically $1100/pound). Granny Smith (although they are, without a doubt, the hardest apple to tell from the outside what's going on inside.)

I am not wild about Macintosh. Harmony gave me a Cortland apple this week that she had picked herself. It was a beautiful looking Canadian apple but frankly, like macintosh, just kinda bland and mooshy.

Point being: compared to macintosh or cortland, I prefer the grapple. It has a little something going on with it.

However I think I would rather have one of those other apples I mentioned.

We'll see. I have a grapple left so I will have that - then I have some honeycrisps. We'll see how that transition goes.

Every day on my lunch I check out the CTVnews website. It is a basic mainstream national news channel which would have basic mainstream national followers.

There is a poll every day and today's is: Should marijuana be legalized?
