    --Hey prettyladyserenity, not only do grapes explode, they will ight in fire if you cut one in half, place the halves side by side with the cut part down. Make sure the halves are touching. After 5 seconds, a lovely flame erupts. Why do I know this? Because I have two very curious little brothers, ha ha!
