Super Grape appears to be red, and Ascended Extra has no info on it. Renamed Tropes has this on it.

  • Ascended Extra was formerly known as Super Grape. Renamed mostly because Super Grape barely made sense even when explained.

What is Super Grape?

Grapes come in a bunch, and a Super Grape is a member of the bunch that stands out against the others. When it was brought up, no one really understood how that name could ever have been thought of as good. Often, renames result in the original being a redirect, but the name was just so bad it was cutlisted.

[up][up]Oh my gosh that is an even more awful name now that you explain it.

[up]Man looking into this sites past is interesting. Now I can read the I Am Not Making This Up examples.

On this page, titled I Am Not Making This Up, we still have people who apparently think that their astounding tales might not be taken seriously, and who therefore add I Am Not Making This Up to the text of their examples.

And people wonder why we got rid of it.

And there are still posters on the Discussion page who lament the loss of such a neat, clever name!

My God, it really does take all kinds, doesn't it?
