I am beginning this discussion in response to this comic.

xkcd: Fuck Grapefruit

Now, this poll is simply to find out who else here loves grapefruit. I think it's freaking delicious. My girlfriend does not. Clearly, there is a range of opinions on this subject.

Please choose the best answer.

Thanks.

Bye.

P.S. Yes, I seriously did just do this.

Also, I add the condition to my response that I prefer red to white grapefruit, but do enjoy both.

I'm not a fan. I remember one time when I was 6 or so my family went out for breakfast and I ordered grapefruit juice thinking I was getting grape juice. I was unpleasantly surprised.

Grapefruit juice is usually much less delicious than actual grapefruit, I will grant you that.

Uh oh... another controversial topic on our hands. When did the SportsHoopla Hockey Boards turn into Hannity & Colmes.

I'm glad we're having this discussion. I think we're handling a very controversial topic with a great deal of maturity and grace here.

I once ate grapefruit with my bicep. There is photographic evidence. It was pretty epic.

How about an option of "IPW can lift 100 pounds over his head" for those of us poor souls who have not had grapefruit yet?

there's a funny bit that aziz ansari did about 50 cent ordering grapefruit juice at a diner. i would post a link if i could find one, but alas, WORK FIREWALL HAS THWARTED ME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so instead, i will just quote a review of his standup from the onion.

"One joke in particular explored an alleged occasion in which Ansari dined at the same restaurant as 50 Cent one evening and overheard the rapper order a glass of grapefruit juice and ask his waiter why it wasn’t purple. “At this point I realized that 50 Cent has no idea what a grapefruit is!” Ansari shouted with astonishment. “The waiter is explaining it to him! I get to be there for that moment in 50 Cent’s life—when he finds out what a grapefruit is!”"

Can eat it both ways but if you don't want it bitter try cutting it in half directly between the two dots on either end run a knife through the prices to free them up then pour some grenadine and sugar on it completely alters the taste
