I just bought one recently. I remembered them from when I was a kid, and
never knew what they were called, just that we had them on occasion, and the
color was so striking. Sort of a dark magenta.

This is the one I'm talking about:

It didn't taste as good as I remembered, and avoiding the spines is no fun.
I doubt I go out of my way to buy one again.
