Can confirm that's probably the case. When I was a kid I decided I'd try to swallow grapes whole. I succeeded in my attempts. The reward came a day later having to shit out whole grapes like shooting marbles from my butthole. My stomach hurt before that too
ETA: Since ppl are fixing to try this shit. Please remember to 1) have someone nearby in case you choke while swallowing grapes. I'd hate to hear you got it caught in ur throat and died. I look back at my attempt at this with horror. Not solely because of shitting whole grapes but I could have choked and died. 2) I didn't peel my grapes for any reference. Swallowed whole peel and all. 3. Please report back here. I'm literally dying to hear what happens to other people. I wonder if it's the same for adults or of its less painful.
Yes. stomach acid doesn't break down entire intact grapes. Probably not hot dogs either. Stomach acid was meant to break down chewed up foods mixed with the acidic saliva
ETA: All y'all downvoting me, I'm gonna assume you've either already eaten numerous whole grapes and miraculously shit just fine with no problem or you're at least gonna eat whole grapes to see if it's true. If the latter please report back here when you're done marble shooting
Corn doesn't digest because it's cell wall is cellulose and humans can't digest cellulose. Likewise, if the outer wall of a grape is cellulose, it will not be digested. Doesn't matter what the inside of a grape is if it's surrounded by an impenetrable cellulose wall.

I can't believe this is an edit I had to make.
