I saw someone peel an orange like this once, it was amazing. Of course I embellished it as I have done with the muscat trick (still pretty neat).

The whole thing with cutting grapes was another idea, I've never seen this done (it would be impossible).

You cannot compare it to the slosh they sell at the regular markets.
