If you pause @1:30 on the left side it says to use “26.4% of methyl solution of antranilate, as manufactured by Bird-X”. So the Bird Stop or some other form bird repellent solution is literally what was used to create the Grapple. The 26.4% was no coincidence, as it is the solution that was used to create the product. Grapple was most likely founded by a farmer using bird repellent for its intended purpose on his/her crops of apples. Edit: Bird Stop is made by Bird-X, so it is the exact solution used to make it.

[@Mis7erSeven]

I really believe that the bird stop is where the grape apple originally came from. Probably someone had a farm with apple trees, used some bird stop to keep the birds away and maybe used a little too much. Then they noticed that the apples got a very slight hint of a grape smell in them and so they came up with the idea to use a diluted version of the bird stop directly onto the apples to create the grape apples. But for the patent they had to cover this as 26.4% methyl anthranilate solution, because you can't actually write in a science paper that you mix apples with bird stop.

[@LiliumOrientalis]

The patent explicitly mentions Bird-X bird stop, the exact kind used in the video 👍

[@allywalker7233]

This is the exact wording on the patent he was looking at For the below listed examples, the preferred admixture included an “off-the-shelf 26.4% solution of methyl anthra nilate, as manufactured by Bird-X, Inc. of Chicago, Ill., U.S.A., and marketed under the names of “Bird ShieldTM Bird Repellent” and “Fruit Shield Repellent.” This standard, con centrated form of methyl anthranilate includes a small amount of alcohol, which apparently acts as a surfactant and emulsifier. For the following examples, the solution concen trations refer to and include percentages that approximate the actual concentration of methyl anthranilate active ingredient in the admixture. Alternatively, a pure methyl anthranilate could be employed for the purposes of the present invention, diluted to the required concentration and most preferably with Small quantities of an emulsifier, as typically employed to those skilled in the art of solution preparation

[@CarbonKevin]

The method described in the patent isn't exactly how they were made. When you looked closely at grapples, you could see tiny perforations in the skin with even spacing over the entire apple - there was clearly some additional injection or just perforation to better absorb the flavor compound. And yes, they tasted like grape-y apples. I liked them.

[@SianaGearz]

According to some sleuths it might be another very similar product, called Bird Shield. But by all reason they might be equivalent. I think 26.4% might well be due to fundamental properties of this grape flavour chemical, such as its solubility in... Bird-X Bird Stop doesn't specify, Bird Shield specifies as "inert ingredients". Inert. So it's not alcohol. Water, should be water? It is water soluble. The MSDS of these two products disagree on the safety of the product. Bird Stop claims to be a Category 5 Acute Toxin, while Bird Shield says it's "generally recognised as safe" but irritating to skin and eyes. Table salt is Category 5 Acute Toxin, so make of that what you will, with estimated lethal toxicity several times higher. Just in case, i'm not convinced i would want to use Bird Stop, but i think they're likely doing the same exact thing as Bird Shield, they're just being overly cautious, or just uncertain of the purity of their raw ingredients. Maybe their water is an Acute Toxin. Hold your Wee for a Wii.

Bird Stop is safe to use around children, plants, and food crops, and is USDA-assisted. It can be used on a variety of outdoor surfaces, including:" They also say: "No harmful chemicals" which is quite amusing when you read the warning label. I guess it's because in high concentrations the flavour is incredibly bitter and may make you vomit. They also have some testimonials, one states, "I used 12 oz. to the gallon and applied with a garden sprayer. I am anxious to see how long it lasts.

Likely, Grapple Fruits was a subsidiary brand of the business, but haven't been able to confirm. In September/August of 2023, the Nursery's owner shut the nursery down, and Grapple production ceased with the nursery closing. The Inventor listed in the patent, Gary A.

I am in total agreement except for the fact that it doesn't actually say that. It instead says: "For the below listed examples, the preferred admixture included an "off-the-shelf" 26.4% solution of methyl anthranilate as manufactured by Bird-X, Inc. of Chicago, Ill., U.S.A., and marketed under the names of 'Bird Shield™Bird Repellent' and 'Fruit Shield Repellent.'"

I had an Econ professor give an entire hour lecture on analyzing the cost-effectiveness of bird repellents, which ended with the conclusion that the most cost-effective bird repellent was “grape soda” aka “artificial grape flavor”.

[@bibasik7]

I wonder if you could make grapples with grape soda instead of bird stop

[@Faunarr]

@@bibasik7 the soda may have a lower concentration of it than diluted grape stop would. Potentially meaning that it doesn't have a high enough of a concentration to make a difference. As well as the fact that if that is the case then if it diffuses into the apple it will only have a part of the percentage of concentration as the soda hence possibly making zero difference. It may also be that such a low concentration would struggle to penetrate the skin causing this to either not work or take a much longer time to work than simply dipping it in diluted grapestop

The US is known for having ridiculously lax regulations on stuff. It's not great.

[@TheClayKnight]

Bird Stop's product page on their website claims it has _"No harmful chemicals"_ and is _"Safe for use around children, plants, and food crops"_ and that it works because _"methylanthranilate (bitter, smelly derivative of concord grapes) has a taste and smell that birds avoid - irritates their trigeminal systems"_ What this tells me is that *drinking Bird Stop* is going to be a painful, but probably non-lethal experience. However *methyl anthranilate* is safe to consume. Not only did Nile use it to make his grape soda previously, it's used in grape Kool-Aid, sodas, and candy.

[@gmhs2]

Yeah this is what I thought too, just make a sort of flavor agent birds don't like and they'll learn not to come around real fast, same goes for most animals honestly, some are just harder to find the right flavor for.

[@falxonPSN]

But again, the problem is we have no idea what else is in there to dilute the active ingredient. Safe for use around children still does not mean good to eat in larger quantities.

[@szaty2]

"It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling" - makes a video useing it as flavoiring on the heath side, it says its fine to spray it on fruits after dilution, and handle them after drying, but sais 1% dilution and "5-8 days or when no odor" to eat... so the recipe was 1 minute in 10% to make it an overkill, so if you eat it 1-2weeks later its still grapy... he just ate it fresh...

It was as you described, a mild grape flavor, but it faded the deeper you ate into the apple until it tasted like a regular fuji apple. The next time I was in the produce section at the grocery store, I looked for these things and about fell over when I saw the price, it was $6-7 for just three of these apples, and that was in 2011 dollars. You could buy a whole bag of like 10-12 fuji apples for that price. I never heard about any recalls for health effects of those apples, they just didn't sell well and faded from existence. I've seen several weird fruit hybrids or "designer" fruits pop up in the produce section over the decades, and they never stay around for long because they're either too expensive or aren't appealing for one fruit to taste like another.

it also said "give the person a glass of water" so that warning label is probably just there for liability reasons, ive made the same answer a couple of times: the fact that its bird STOP rather then bird POISON makes me think its safe, a solution that smells and tastes fruity but with a potent burning sensation will deterr birds and over a couple of generations the birds will avoid those trees instinctively, if it was actual poison you wouldnt want it to taste/smell like anything except fruit and it wouldnt solve the problem, if you kill the birds that eat your fruit birds wont give a shit and keep eating the fruit because no bird survives to "tell" about the experience, if you make something harmless but very painfull it will give that information to the next generation

[@rdizzy1]

Tons of non toxic products have this on the label. It isn't to warn anyone, it is to avoid lawsuits.

[@Sotanaht01]

Dosage makes the poison. Could be toxic if you drank directly from the jug, but spraying some on an apple and cleaning it off later leaves less than 1% of that kind of dose.

[@Kaytie-d6e]

@@Sotanaht01 "Dosage makes the poison" Yep, loads of things that we consume daily that is "poison" (if enough is consumed). :p Water poisoning is a thing for example, too much water in a short time span can lead to very severe issues, including death~

[@smoochie1594]

​@justkats9371 the term water poisoning is a misnomer. It's more like over saturation. The deadly part is that it over saturates your electrolytes and causes stuff to shut down. It's not like the fluid itself is doing damage, it's the amount of the fluid that is doing the damage. Unlike Alcohol poisoning, where the fluid is actually doing damage.

[@RubyNemesis]

According to the 2019 SDS for Bird-Stop, the other ingredients are glycerol and a castor oil ethoxylate emulsifier and water. They were enough of a non-concern to be left of previous SDSs. I think he'll be fine, however he should look this stuff up and show the audience so we don't worry about it.

Grocery store apples come with a very thin wax layer on them to help preserve them. Taking the layer of wax off may let the apple absorb the Birdstop better.

We used to have an old apple tree that only have a few apples, but they tasted like gooseberries. It was kind of weird but really delicious. I miss that tree and those apples.

[@AaronC.]

That could have been a new apple variety. I imagine you can't get a branch or two from that tree now?

[@fellow8085]

apples express extreme heterozygosity, they have more than twice the number of genes as a person. This means that every seed of an apple produces a tree, that will produce fruit nothing like its parent. The three points are the sugars, the tannins, and the acids. mostly sugar is an eating apple, mostly acid is a baking apple, mostly tannins is a cider apple. Every individual tree is a new apple variety. When you see orchards of macintosh trees, theyre all grafted clones of the one original macintosh tree grown from seed, which died in 1910.
