Grapple With This!

I tried a new product called Grapples last night. They are regular apples, infused with grape flavour. No added sugar or calories. Just added grapeyness. I first saw the product on a TV show called "Unwrapped" on the Food Network. When I saw them in the store I decided to try them. Alex, Finn and I all agreed that the apples are quite tasty.

The problem is that they come packaged in more plastic than an electric razor. What is the point of a nice natural grapey apple, if it is surrounded by plastic that will never leave the environment. So... I sent an email to Grapple. I said " I like your grapey apples... but I won't buy them again unless I can buy them without all that plastic"... or something like that. I got a reply almost immediately. Apparently, Grapple agrees that the apples come with too much plastic and are considering alternatives.

I also took the time to fill in their customer survey. They asked what other flavours they should consider for Grapples. I think they should try Cranberry. (But I suppose then they'd have to call them Crapples.)

Anyhow... give Grapples a try if you see em.

BTW: It isn't lost on me that today is Remembrance Day. I'm grateful that there are people in this world who will put their own life on the line for the sake of improving the lives of others. I'm also hopeful that my kids will never have to.
