👦🏫 Who: Bronwen S. from Gastonia, NC

💬 The experience: A while ago, I was sitting at the kitchen table talking to my brother (11), who was eating grapes. After a few minutes he put several grapes in his mouth at once... and then suddenly runs over to the trash can and spits them all out. I asked him what was wrong, and he claimed that the outsides were sticky and that the grapes tasted abnormally sweet. 

Of course, being 15, I asked him quite seriously if he thought he was being poisoned. His eyes widened. Then, cautiously, he took another grape and slowly put it into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed. "Wait a minute," he said suddenly, "there's donut glaze on these grapes!" Now I was really skeptical, so I took a grape myself. I don't know how or why, but those frozen grapes were definitely covered in donut glaze. 

Ever since, I've been licking every grape I get before I eat it. Who knows what else could be on there...
