The answer is that grape-flavored things DO taste like grapes, but not the kind of grapes found in most supermarkets. Thompson seedless, flame, champagne, and other kinds of grapes are more closely related to grapes for making wine. The quintessential grape flavor of grape candy, popsicles, and even Grape Juice concentrate is derived from Concord grapes. These do not travel or store well and so are rarely found in supermarkets or even farmers markets. Concord grapes are a real treat with an amazingly intense purple grape flavor and taste even better than grape-flavored items. Cherry has a similar issue: cherry-flavored items do not taste like commercially available sweet cherries (Bing, Rainier, etc.) The quintessential cherry flavor of cherry soda or even cherry pie comes from sour cherries, such as Montmorency. These are not widely available because they do not store or travel well. Sour cherries, like Concord grapes, have an incredibly intense flavor, but most people think they are too tart for eating straight so they end up in juice or pie or flavoring for other items.
