Maybe too much wine went to their heads when they made the first artificially-flavored product?? Anyways, I agree. Tropicana Grape Juice tastes nothing like GRAPES.

Well, the thing with grapes is, unlike many other fruits, grapes are incredibly diverse when it comes to taste. "Grape-flavor" can range from a sour green grape to a black grape taste. In addition, the grape scent is much smaller than other fruits (such as orange). I can probably smell oranges from my backyard if I was out there right now, but the same doesn't go for when I visit grape vines.

The only three flavors that ever made sense to me where cherry, lemon, and orange artificial flavors. Things like grape flavor or banana flavor taste very vague and hard to define as grape of banana, respectively.

Hmm. I think it depends on what it is exactly that's flavored grape. To me, some of it actually does taste close enough to actual grapes, whereas you're right and some do not.

My tastebuds are really sensitive, so I can automatically detect almost any flavor artificial or natural. *shrugs*

It's funny because I can actually personally relate to one of SO's topics.


I know some grape is bad, but that damned Children's Dimatap (sp? -- it's a cold medicine) has actually triggered my gag reflex. Luckly, I was only full of water at the time.

Dude, grape juice is awful. It's like cough medicine in juice form. Or maybe it is cough medicine and they were too lazy to put some juice into it.

Most of it does taste like wine wich does not help XD since i'm trying to stop drinking the fact I get somthing that reminds me of wine does not help. But since britany got on my case about drinking I have quite, she wants a healthy sober boyfriend

But meh, it's a question I am bothered with a lot...

I agree.. it tastes nothing like real grapes.
But everything else tastes like it should.. odd.

I don't go near grape stuff, so I agree, but then again wouldn't know.
