You can just say Grapple

Yeah i was gunna say, i remember having grapples as a kid. This isnt that new of a thing.

Although if this video is showing the process, that's pretty cool. I have no idea how it's done. I'm in public right now so i cant watch the video

The very first thing they talk about is grapples and how they're no longer sold. Then they recreating it by looking at the instructions in the patent for it from the company once making grapples

Yes but I ALREADY KNOW WHAT GRAPPLE IS

[–] mwproductions 3 points 3 months ago

It does, more or less. In true NileBlue fashion, things don't go quite as initially planned.

But that word already exists and it's a verb.

I had one. It came in a 4 pack. It did taste like grapes and still had a slight apple taste but I still felt disappointed. Didn't see it around long.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why were you disappointed?

[–] Labtec6 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In not totally sure. I thought maybe something more than just something that has grape flavour added. Maybe a slightly different texture or something. It tasted good and was crunchy but at $6 a pack, I wouldn't buy another one.

$1.50 for a grape-flavored apple is a lot

[–] simplejack 2 points 3 months ago

In my neck of the woods, 1.50 is the going price for a decent Apple. A shitty red delicious is 1.25.

I didn't watch this one because I can't help but feel he's just going to make it the same way they make a grapple which is just soaking/injecting the apple with grape juice.

Now, I'll go watch it if he, in fact, chemically made an apple that tastes like a grape from just bare elements, like a god and his usual videos.

That's not the way they made grapples at all. They soaked apples in the chemical that's used for "grape flavor", which is kinda what he does in the video, there's more to it though. All you did by writing that comment is show everyone you think you know something and spread that false information without even trying to look it up.
