Yeah, the gf brought a couple of those home once to try.

It wasn't that spectacular.

It tasted like an apple with a hint of grape as an aftertaste. The grape flavor is fleeting and barely noticeable. If I thought it was just a regular apple and wasn't TRYING to taste the grape I probably wouldn't have noticed at all.

It was probably expensive and not worth it's cost.

You'd get a better effect biting into a regular apple and then taking a swig of grape juice.

Aw that's disappointing.

So they say, but who knows. It sounds really legit to me and there's a lot to it. Different verses, parts that weren't in the previews, etc. Could be an unfinished version that somebody leaked or maybe it's the real radio edit and Columbia/DP are just denying it until they do the official reveal.

Yeah Grapples are kinda cool as a novelty thing but not as spectacular as you'd expect.

How about Miracle Berries, anybody tried those? Supposedly they're supposed to turn sour foods sweet after you eat them. We have some of these tablets but still haven't tried them, lol...

It's just a regular apple they soak in grape juice concentrate. Probably not GMO, but then it's hard to know what is and what isn't these days...

Ahhh, thats not too bad then.

It's bad enough they spray all the fruit with chemicals anyways.

She's up all night to the sun,

I'm up all night to get some,

She's up all night for good fun,

I'm up all night to get lucky.

I freakin' love this retro 70s/80s thing they're doing this time around. It's like Discovery but even better!

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

Most plants and fruits are natural hybrids any way. Bees and insects have done cross pollination before the time of dinosaurs.

Yeah, they just didn't have anyone literally tinkering with their genetic code.
