i taste grapes before i buy them to make sure that they're sweet. 95% of the time, the bag i take a grape from is the bag i end up buying, but if it tastes sour, i might get another grape. got played last week tho because i got a grape and it was super sweet and when i got home and cut off a little bunch to eat, it was a mix of sweet, bland and sour and i was mad
