Cotton Candy flavored grapes...?

Has anyone ever heard of these, or tried them? My local Central Market carries these. They are actual grapes but they taste like cotton candy. I have NOT tried them, but it sounds tempting. They are cross pollinated with something that gives them a cotton candy flavor. Any thoughts?

I've always found grapes to be pretty sweet....I don't know that I've ever had a grape and said, "Gee, I wish this was sweeter."0

I do believe this is the brand...

The website says 50 calories per 1/2 cup. Apparently Ryan Seacrest tried them on his show and liked them. I just can't imagine a grape tasting sweeter than it should.0 -
I think it's artificial flavoring, isn't it? I've seen them in our store and I believe I read the ingredients and passed since it was added flavor.0

Sounds really good! I always like to rinse off my grapes and add a pack of sugar free jello (my favorite is black cherry) to coat them. So good!0

I want some!0

I'm eating them as I type! They're amazing.. Expensive, but worth it if i can get hubby to eat them!! Nothing artificial about them, just selective crossbreeding similar to how nectarines are made.. Hard to find nutritional info on them tho.. Just reading 50cal per half cup.. But I prefer to weigh my food than measure.. Any idea how many grams is a half cup of grapes??0

Hmm.... I really like grape-flavored grapes. Why mess with perfection?0

No, check the link she posted. They are a hybrid, not artificial.0 -
A co-worker had some last week and I tried a few. They were good, but not enough to make me run out and buy then, I'll stick w/regular grapes.0

Maybe Monsanto put cotton candy DNA in them.0

I'd definitely try them. I do love cotton candy or should i say, used to.0

You should all check out the grapery website. They are the ones that grow the product on a farm in Bakersfield. There are no additives to the flavor. So I don't know what are talking about in regards to what you read... Not to mention no ingrediants are on the packaging.. They are on the website. I love them since they first came out three years ago.0

I'm quite please with the current taste of grapes. Can't say I would want my grapes to start tasting like cotton candy.
I'm gonna pass on this one.
ETA: Wait, is there wine made out of these grapes yet? I'd never pass up a chance to try wine.0 -

Really? Now people needs to eat fruit that tastes like candy, not candy that 'tastes' like fruit?0
