I saw Cocktail Grapefruit at my grocery store too, Debbie! I think they were Melissa's brand. Melissa's does a lot of organic and special produce for grocery stores. I considered buying one, but they were all banged-up looking. I will check them out again next time I go. Amy, you crack me up.

It had a sticker on it that said Cocktail Grapefruit, and that they are ripe when they're green. I bought one just to see what it tastes like and it's delicious. It looks like a grapefruit but it's sweet, or at least the one I bought was. I think that's the same thing I bought at the Towers Kroger a few weeks ago.

Thank goodness it wasn't a Pummelo tree. My kids could've been killed or maimed picking citrus for breakfast. Seriously though, I can't believe I haven't heard of this gargantuan grapefruit.
