We've been getting Flavor Bombs, Sugar Bombs and Honey Bombs from our local Stop & Shop and Whole Foods in small packages for $5.99 (which makes me laugh when I think of how many tomatoes I give away each year). Flavor and Sugar being the most often available in stores, and Honey Bombs less so. They are the best supermarket tomatoes I've had. After googling and finding no information, other than that same link to sunset, I assumed they must be hybrid. I even checked tomatoville earlier this year, but no threads at that time. Now you got me wondering if I should try to grow some. It's not too late for me to start seeds for this year. It's encouraging that Kurt's plants grew true.

@kurt what was your DTM?

Danbury? I'm in Brookfield and go to the Danbury Whole Foods for them and Sumo mandarins all the time! Funny, I've only seen the Honey Bombs the last few trips. I don't recall seeing Flavor but I've picked up a few Sugar Bombs in the past. They're pretty good but I don't think I'm letting them ripen enough so I'm not too crazy about them. A lot of people seem to like the Flavor Bombs the best but I haven't had them yet. I like the Honey Bombs probably slightly underripe so there's a little bit of a zing to them but you still get the sweetness. Plus they're crunchier which I enjoy for a cherry tomato.
