I eat a Ruby Red grapefruit every day, in the way that people will peel an orange and eat, and not out of masochism. I will occasionally cheat by sprinkling sugar on it. I eat only red grapefruit- Ruby Red or others.
I do not like grapefruit in juice form, however. As canned grapefruit juice is usually not Ruby Red, that might explain it.
A German student visiting the States told me how much he liked grapefruit here. Chalk that up to Ruby Red.

She should try it with vodka on a summer evening. In about 20 years…

Foxmarks, my thoughts exactly. A little vodka and cranberry juice do wonders for grapefruit juice (aka The Seabreeze).
She may change her mind in a couple of decades

Try sprinkling a little salt on the grapefruit instead of sugar. The operative word in that last sentence is LITTLE.

This past summer, I mixed up some frozen lemonade for my son and nephews. The 6-year old couldn’t wait. He kept saying, “I LOVE lemonade!” I served it, although it looked a little cloudy, which I thought was caused by air bubbles in the water. One taste and he made a horrible face and said, “I HATE lemonade!” It was grapefruit juice. He’s now a little leery of anything I serve him.
I too like to eat plain grapefruit, but the juice is nasty.

Canned grapefruit juice has a nasty metallic bitterness, as though the acid in the juice has eaten into the walls of the can. Ugh, yuck, an excellent reason to fall over. As an adult I love fresh grapefruit, but as a child, I needed sugar on it (my grandmother of the Villager outfits used to place a welcome maraschino cherry in the center.) Kids’ taste buds react more powerfully to the bitterness than our more jaded adult mouths.
