Sam’s Club Is Selling Grapes That Taste Just Like Grape Soda
Updated: Aug. 11, 2020
Remember the Cotton Candy grapes? This is even better.
It rocked our worlds when Cotton Candy grapes hit the market. It turns out people love fruit that’s good for you and tastes like a spun-sugar treat from the circus. No surprise, this designer grape is just as delicious. Look out for Grape Soda grapes at Sam’s Club, because they’re officially back at Sam’s Club this summer!
Do the grapes actually taste like soda?
Yep! It’s not hard to imagine since grape soda is already, well, grape-flavored. But we’ve heard each grape tastes just like candy. Fortunately, there’s no added sugar, so grapes are still a healthy snack with plenty of anti-aging benefits. You’ll have to try the Grape Soda grapes for yourself to decide whether or not the fruit tastes like sipping on your favorite soda.
How is this even possible? It’s possible to cross-breed standard grapes to create all kinds of unusual grapes. (You may have seem some of ’em at the grocery store, like Gum Drops and Moon Drops.) The grapes are perfect for snacking, of course, but we think they’d be particularly good frozen or in a grape slushie. You might even use the Grape Soda grapes to make this popular fruit salad!
