Ironically when I hit about 16 I decided to give them a try again and loved them sugarless. I can eat grapefruit until they come out of my ears. One of my favorite juices in grapefruit juice sugarfree.

I remember the first time I came to Italy. My mother, my now BIL, hubby and I went to Monte Berico. It was a super hot day and we stopped at the (bar) cafe to get something to drink. I wanted grapefruit juice and didn't know what it was called in Italian and hubby didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I looked in the display and figured it out from the bottle. Hubby still didn't know the fruit and wanted to try it. He smelled it first and said 'It doesn't smell bad.' My mom was snickering behind him and I was encouraging him telling him it was amazing. Didn't bother to tell him it was bitter. He takes a huge mouthful and nearly passes out. His eyes about popped out of his head and he got that sour lemon face. It was too funny for all of us except hubby who was cranky for about an hour after. He decided tiramisu gelato was much more to his liking. LOL
