A lot of Washington produce gets shipped across the Pacific ocean, like to Japan and that general area. So you're probably not going to see it in places that have their own apples. If perhaps you have Tree Top brand apple juice or apple sauce, or something made with Washington apples in it, then you might see the logo down in the production credits.

Stargazer88 The reporter stresses and focuses that the flavoring used can be doubled up as a bird repellent as if it is some sort of arsenic poison. You know what else can be doubled up as a sterilizer that kills bacteria and insect? Salt.
@Stargazer889 жыл бұрын
Edwin Liew no, they tried to investigate how they might have invented the grapple, the use of grape flavouring as a pesticide is a credible way. I'm not being sarcastic here. I think they gave a decently evenhanded and objective report. There is no part of this where they scream out "OMG poison!" or alike. They give us information and ask us to make up our own minds. They never spoke of it merely as "a chemical" but tried to inform us on what it actually is, a FDA approved artificial flavouring that also happens to be used as a bird deterrent. Isn't that what it is?

It does put important questions out there. We so often puff out our chest in righteous indignation without thinking about the human element. Just the simple act of survival. If we really want to split hairs, the first ingredient in almost all insecticides is water. Both nicotine and caffeine are used as insecticides; it's why plants developed them in the first place. Although, I do think further research should be put into find out what a lethal dose would be.

I have lived in Washington most of my life. The Wenatchee area has changed drastically in the last 20 years around the large corporations. Many small farmers have had no choice but to conform to high pesticide orchards and small variety or lose the farm. The few small farms that are left have amazing produce that does not need a gimmick. And I don't know anyone who likes the Red Delishious. I would love to see a continuation on this topic and the impressions of more small organic farmers on the fruit industry.

Fruit as junk food. From the ocean-killing plastic wrap, to the industrialized agriculture, to the corporate marketing, ugh, ugh, ugh. And as for Washington as the apple capital, it depends how you define it. When I lived out west, fall wasn't properly fall because the apples were all west coast apples and they tasted like NOTHING. Give me a northeastern apple from Connecticut or New York any day and make it an heirloom variety. If I want grape taste, we got grapes for that.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest have a pretty bad track record apropos pushing for new food related policies. One of the three dangerous GRAS food stuffs, partially hydrogenated oil, was forced onto the fast food industry by CSPI, who were using tenuous and scarce evidence to promote the idea that it was healthier than lard, which was originally used by both large corporate chains such as McDonald's, and the average roadside diner. When it turned out that partially hydrogenated oil was, in fact, far worse than lard, CSPI wasted no time in lobbying to have fast food restaurants switch to something else (not even sure what they use now). But, the key point would be that CSPI had been repeatedly informed from various reputable scientific sources that the initial judgement of the healthiness of partially hydrogenated oil was incorrect, or at least highly suspect, with no basis in properly researched science. Essentially, CSPI make their money through fear mongering, capitalizing on a combination of paranoia and lawyers. Is that to say that there are no unhealthy and even potentially dangerous practices in the food industry? No, certainly not. But, we should keep in sight the facts of the matter, and not allow reactionary institutions like CSPI make things worse in their hasty ignorance.

OK, give me the super crisp WA-38 apple. I hate mushy, soft apples. I want my apples as hard as a rock and to crunch like madness. Also, I think the line about "preserving the repellant effect for consumer enjoyment" is actually WAY funnier than they make it out to be in the video. It sounds to ME that Grapples boast as one of their features that benefit consumers that Grapples themselves will repel birds. Because consumers hate eating an apple and getting attacked by birds at the same time!

I recently bought a 4 pack of Grapples out of curiosity. They were terrible. A soft, stringy, wilted apple that lacks the natural juiciness of the fruit, and has a light artificial grape flavor. I was going to avoid these at all costs anyway, but after watching this report, I'm warning everyone against it. A fruit company should have no reason to be shady.
@Shaggy22869 жыл бұрын
IIG You sound like you got one that was really old. I just ate one and it was crisp and juicy. I don't even know how an apple becomes stringy? That sounds kid of gross. Srsly, look at them before you buy them. They got wrinkles (wilted) and are not shiny, then they are old. ( fyi you didn't miss much, you get the grape-ish flavor in the first bite, but then it just tastes like a fuji apple )
