Useless packaging is not exactly good for the environment.

A negative example of sensible packaging is currently being shared as an image: 12 grapes that were individually packaged in a plastic case.

The image is not manipulated, in fact the fruits can be bought in exactly that packaging. However, not everywhere and also rather seasonally, because there is a special connection with the 12 grapes.

Where can I buy the grapes?

You can see in reverse on the bottom right of the packaging that the fruits come from the company “uvasdoce”. The company actually presents these exact grapes on their website .

The text below is Spanish and reads in German:

New . Our mini grape bell contains 12 smaller grapes to make it easier to eat the 12 when the bell rings. It is a thermo-welded tray with foil printed with New Year's motifs, very convenient to take with you to the place where you are going to celebrate the beginning of the year.

The New Year's Eve tradition in Spain

A custom in Spain is to eat grapes on New Year's Eve. But not just like that, but in a special way:
everyone has 12 grapes in their hand before midnight. At 12 sharp, a grape must be eaten for every chime of the bell. If you manage to eat all 12 grapes on time, prosperity and luck .

This tradition is extremely popular in Spain, and the chimes are also broadcast on TV if you don't live near a church. Many people also gather in front of bell towers and eat the fruit together in a convivial atmosphere as the bells ring.

Conclusion

The packaging with the 12 grapes is real. It is offered in Spain on New Year's Eve in order to "conveniently take the fruit with you to the place where New Year's Eve is being spent".

In principle, it's a marketing gimmick by the company that tends to backfire: Not only does such packaging look funny, but it produces an unnecessary amount of waste, it would also be rather difficult to get the grapes out of the packaging in a timely manner.

Ultimately, it is still up to the buyer to decide whether to buy such a pack to make friends and acquaintances smile or whether they would rather pack the fruit in a more practical way.
