Pretty scary thing, actually. Sharp eyed child. But then it wasn't a
bunch of grapes, it was a *container* of grapes packed and shipped from
who knows where. Obviously whatever farm/vineyard they came from didn't
bother to *rinse* them well before packing them in lovely plastic
containers to send to Costco. That alone would give me pause.
