I’ve given up diet pop, and switched to sugar free sodium free seltzer water. I am currently drinking pamplemousse flavored.

Pomelo and pamplemuse are the same thing, right?Or is it Pomelo? Actually, I think a grapefruit is Grapefruit in German ...and a grapefruit is a cross between an orange and a pampelmuse ... or something like that.
Help me, tifosi77
All I know is the annoying French aristocrat mead drinkers in the latest Dilly Dilly ads are called Lord and Lady Pamplemousse, so that's funny.

Pomelo
The pomelo, Citrus maxima or Citrus grandis, is the largest citrus fruit from the Rutaceae family. It is a natural (non-hybrid) citrus fruit, similar in appearance to a large grapefruit, native to South and Southeast Asia. The pomelo is one of the original citrus species from which the rest of cultivated citrus hybridized. The popular fruit is used in many Chinese festive celebrations throughout Southeast Asia.
The one I had was not good.

Part of eating a pomelo is avoiding any of the bitter pith. You only want to eat the little juice filled granules. I like pomelos, but I also eat a lot of pamplemousse.

I learned that in high school. I took German for a year and someone brought that in on a day when we were supposed to all bring in German products.There's a bear in the Toblerone logo
Someone else brought in Nutella. American education at its finest.
