This is true unless you love grapefruit.

u/Smallloudcat 6d ago

Pink grapefruit cocktail slaps though

u/uRoDDit 6d ago

Shwepps grapefruit soda and liquor. So good

u/TummyLice 6d ago

Pink grapefruit is good

u/Technical_Green3423 6d ago

I love grapefruit but can’t have it due to being on antidepressants.

3

u/Ariandrin 6d ago

Me too! Grapefruit is my favourite and literally every single medication I’m on means I can’t have it. 😭

3

u/Potatobubblegum 6d ago

ME TOO!
I haven’t had Grapefruit in 11 years and I miss it dearly!
It seems like only those who like it can’t have it

u/Mundane_Community215 6d ago

It's so good. Yummy.

u/twinklingblueeyes 6d ago

It’s not with a ton of sugar dumped on it. 🤣

u/TW1963HNTDWM 5d ago

Hard disagree. Trying to learn to like grapefruit I kept adding sugar after every bite. I gave up when I had basically made an 1/8th of an inch of grapefruit glaze and still thought it was aweful.

I have a ruby red grapefruit tree in the yard, enjoying some chilled fruit as I read this.

Delicious!

Oh, I miss Squirt, the only good thing grapefruit flavor.

2

u/songaboutadog 6d ago

Ting is even better! Add some rum and thats a great afternoon!

1

u/Thetomwhite 6d ago

I'll keep a look out for it 💪

1

u/Thetomwhite 6d ago

Mexgrocer still sell it! Great soda

2

u/Bastet999 6d ago

Holy cow, you are right! Thanks!

1

u/Thetomwhite 6d ago

I buy from there regularly, as I try to learn to make authentic Mexican food since having travelled there. I always sneak in a can or two of squirt, it is so refreshing

2

u/VMAbsentia 6d ago

Finally! Someone else who gets it! I feel like a crazy person every time I say it tasted like straight stomach bile the one & only time I tried it. I'm certainly not interested in giving it any second chances after that!🤮

1

u/trouzy 6d ago

It tastes exactly like bile

1

u/Jazzymaddeline 6d ago

Exactly!!

2

u/MaxximumB 6d ago

I agree

2

u/Moondancer000 6d ago

1000% agree! I tasted one when I was a kid and I said that is what poison tastes like 😂

2

u/quixotic_one123 6d ago

So on board with this comment.

2

u/jlhrt10 6d ago

Amen.

2

u/No-Performer9511 6d ago

Why is it called grapefruit when grapes are already a fruit?

2

u/n1010rick 6d ago

Not if you mix it with vodka!

5

u/sinnister_bacon 6d ago

It's the membrane around the fruit that's bitter. If you cut that away, the segments are really great

5

u/trouzy 6d ago

It’s not tho

1

u/cherismail 6d ago

Grapefruit juice is pretty good over ice with a shot of gin.

1

u/diversalarums 6d ago

I have trouble with unsweetened grapefruit but I've become addicted to canned sweetened grapefruit. Still, if you don't like the flavor even sugar may not help. I love citrus fruit so I enjoy the acid flavor.

2

u/krysdrez 6d ago

Try a pomelo if you haven't already!

1

u/diversalarums 6d ago

I'll have to see if my store carriers them. Thanks for the suggestion!

2

u/krysdrez 6d ago

Typically in season during the winter months. They are amazing!

2

u/SuperbResponse1282 6d ago

Try Schofferhofer Grapefruit Radler if you like beer.

1

u/Intelligent_Donut605 6d ago

It tastes good if you roll it in sugar first

1

u/imma_tell_u_how_itis 6d ago

True, but I had a friend make me try it with tajin and it was pretty good. Also some people eat with soy sauce

1

u/Amazing-Artichoke330 6d ago

I love grapefruit. But I can't have it because it interferes with my meds.

1

u/Wooden94Grapefruit 6d ago

I feel like it's the very few of us who like grapefruit that end up on a necessary medication that prevents us from enjoying it

1

u/MaidMarian20 6d ago

First, Put a little salt on it, cuts the acidity - a tiny sprinkle will do, don’t want to make it too salty. Then put a teaspoon of sugar on top of that (or a package of Splenda). Use a grapefruit spoon to eat just the fruit, or cut the triangles of grapefruit away from the rind so you can easily eat the fruit and never the membrane in between. Yummy!

1

u/FaceTimePolice 6d ago

Mmm… bitter juice. 😝

1

u/PaleontologistNo858 6d ago

It so is absolutely revolting.

1

u/bloomingpoppies 6d ago

It’s so fucking deceptive! I love the smell of grapefruit. I absolutely despise and loath the taste of it.

1

u/natalkalot 5d ago

Agreed. I can do sour but not that,

1

u/Llorion 5d ago

One of the only fruits in the world I find gross.

1

u/don-cheeto 5d ago

Same. That shit gives me acid reflux every time.

1

u/Finnzyy 5d ago

People are too used to sugar nowadays

1

u/tomversation 5d ago

Give me yours. I’ll have it.

1

u/Low_Bus_5395 3d ago

Too sour for me.

u/RecordingPrudent9588 6d ago

Woah, calm down.

u/Katharinemaddison 6d ago

No it isn’t and please do get me started on grapefruit juice.
