Description

The expression "sour grapes" originated in Aesop’s fable "The Fox and the Grapes." In it, the fox really wants to eat some grapes hanging from a tree, but after numerous attempts, he realizes he will not be able to reach them. He finally gives up and wanders away, remarking, "Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes," as he leaves. Thus, "sour grapes" is a phrase that refers to the act of pretending not to care for something that one wants, but does not or cannot have.

Well, when it comes to acquiring sour grape candy, you no longer need to have sour grapes about it -- these purple hard candies should do the trick!
