      I recall seeing them selling a variety where they select some fruit from the bunch, pruning out to thin. Then perhaps using PGRs to boost size of the fruit?

      Its all a distraction. Getting us focused on the size of grapes between safeway and Coles means we dont look at the prices /s

      Sarcasm probably but also i have enjoyed feeling like thumbalina

      They had them down in Adelaide markets a few weeks ago. So it must be something local to the Adelaide/Victoria part of the world.

      I got a bunch of those the other day, almost as big as apples and they tasted incredible.

      It’s probably something to do with CGT or removing negative gearing.

      Trust me, I’m a 40+ year old that watches ch 7/9 news and reads the Australian.

      Its an interesting fact that the original wild watermelons were only as big as tennis balls but were bred to reach their current impressive size. Maybe grapes are on the same train.

      I don’t know but I like what is happening. I want my apple sized grapes. Better be crisp too

      Yeah NGL it’s weird AF. One day normal grapes, next day some gamma ray hulk style shit or something. 🤷

      Likely Autumn Crisp grapes from Romeo’s Best vineyards in QLD & VIC.

      Probably the extra large Autumn Crisp variety, they’ve been on special at Harris Farm the past month or so and really worth the premium cost when they’re super fresh.

      Well that are an awful lot of grape varieties available, it’s not surprising that they are different colours, sizes and shapes

      With current inflation, that single grape is going to have to be cut up into meal-prep portions for the week
