Well, grapes do cause choking in young kids. Just the right size to wedge in the airway. But yeah I'm sure many warnings are overdone.

- matt_morgan 9y agoI don't doubt it! I just can't imagine that half a grape is safer than a whole grape for small kids.
- emmelaich 9y agoA half is much safer because the skin is split. The whole reason that grapes are dangerous for small kids is that the throat can't break the skin. Of course, better to tell them to bite first. I cringe a bit when I see people do the throwing the grape in the air and catch it in their mouths.
