Candy? Or fruit?

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.

Never met an apple I didn't like Jon, so I'll make it a point to try something new, however call me old fashioned because I'm just a "Gala" kind of guy!

I like this time a year because the majority of apples I find in the store are just not very good. When the Honeycrisps arrive though - look out! Yum!
I would have to draw the line at bubble gum ice cream flavor — that really sounds nasty.
Have you heard about a new apple called the sweet Sweet Sixteen? Supposedly it tastes like a cherry Lifesaver.
