Candy? Or fruit?

Ambrosia.jpg

Has anyone tried the Grapple, the apple infused with as much artificial grape flavor as a pack of BubbleYum? It creeps me out. But so does this Ambrosia apple, which I bought yesterday at Madison Market, having never tasted one before.

I mean, it's organic. The label says so. And the Internet says the fruit is an all-natural genetic variation discovered on a farm in British Columbia. But to me, this crisp, practically acid-free apple tastes like bubble gum ice cream. I couldn't eat another bite. Ergo: Kids should love it.

Bonus question: Ever eaten a Rambo apple? It should sue Stallone for copyright infringement.
