I almost don't think grocery store tomatoes have a taste anymore. It's like a generic, pulpy piece of fruit.
There's no yellow mottling where there'd be concentrations of sugar, however now they're bred to be just red (since consumers think a perfectly red tomato is a better tomato), and to be harder. The benefit is you can get a ripe tomato that can survive transit from Chile, but it's not exactly a great-tasting tomato.
They've done the same thing with peaches. White peaches are like a reboot of the peach. I mean, peach is a color, as your box of crayons would indicate. Now we just have a peach that's less sweet and easier to ship. I mean, imagine if you ordered a peach shirt, it showed up white, and you called to complain. They'd probably go, "Well, it's a white peach".
Granted, maybe those shirts are easier to ship.
