This week in disturbing food products

Now I've seem some truly stupid and/or disgusting consumer food
products in my time, but this one might just take the top prize.
Whatever meglomaniacal food conglomorate that is behind this crime
against nature has termed it a "Grape-l", but what it appears to be is
an apple soaked in artificial grape flavor for such sufficient time
that it ceases to taste like an apple, nut rather tastes like fake-
grape. Apparently, some MBA marketing exec ran a survey that concluded
that children like apples, but would like them even more if they
tasted like, well, grapes. Sigh. And I thought we'd hit rock-bottom
with the Jimmy Dean chocolate-chip-pancake-wrapped sausage link on a
stick ("With real maple flavor!").
