I asked Bing and it spat out Wikipedia's entry: "Grapette is a grape-flavored soft drink that was first produced and marketed in 1939 by Benjamin "Tyndle" Fooks. Grapette is now produced by Grapette International, and is marketed in the United States by Walmart as part of its Sam's Choice line of soft drinks." A better and much longer answer is provided by Grapette International themselves at https://www.grapette.com/read-more: "In the late 80s, Grapette International's chairman, Brooks Rice, met Sam Walton, founder of Walmart. Without wasting words, Walton told him, "I want Grapette in my stores." Rice explained that although he couldn't provide the use of the brand names in the United States, he could offer the flavors that once made the famous brands. Rice also personally pledged that he would fulfill Walton's request to have Grapette and Orangette in his stores someday. Soon, Walmart was using some of the authentic Grapette Company flavor profiles in its Sam's Choice line of signature sodas. The flavors fit perfectly within the Sam's Choice brand, offering innovative, quality products at a better value than the leading national brands. But it always felt like something was missing - specifically, the famous Grapette and Orangette brand names. In early 2000, Grapette International was able to purchase the U.S. rights to the Grapette and Orangette trademarks, finally reuniting the flavors with their brand names. Now the third generation of founder Paul May's family has given Walmart what Sam Walton requested almost twenty years earlier. In 2005, Grapette and Orangette became available exclusively in Walmart stores nationwide." MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: SAUSAGE, BREAD AND PEPPER FRITTATA Categories: Cheese/eggs, Italian, Main dish, Vegetables, Seandennis Yield: 8 Servings 3 tb Extra-virgin olive oil 8 oz Sweet Italian sausage, --removed from casings --(about 2 links) 1 Large bunch scallions, cut --in 1/2" pieces 1/2 ts Kosher salt 1 Red bell pepper, cut in --1/2" strips 8 Large eggs 1/4 c Milk 1 1/2 c 1/2" bread cubes, from a --day-old loaf of country --bread 1/4 c Grated Grana Padano Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage, crumbling with the back of a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the scallions, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the scallions begin to wilt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell pepper, and cook, stirring until wilted but not completely limp, about 8 to 10 minutes. In a bowl, beat eggs with the milk and remaining salt. Let the bread cubes soak in the egg-milk mixture until moistened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat under skillet to medium-low, then pour in eggs and bread and let cook until the eggs begin to set around the edges of the pan, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle all over with the grated cheese. Put the skillet in the oven, and bake until frittata is set all the way through and the top is golden, about 18 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the skillet and invert onto a plate or cutting board. Serve in wedges, warm or at room temperature. Chef's notes: "Frittata is the quintessential Italian meal. You can flavor it with anything you have on hand, and one of my favorite ways is adding day-old bread with vegetables and sausages. When there is nothing else in the house except eggs, this is the meal to make. From what I recall, sausage, bread and egg frittata was a dish my grandmother in Istria made often whereas the addition of peppers was something more Italian American. It is nonetheless a delicious combination. This recipe makes a great lunch with some salad on the side."
