The Sour Bunch is an acting theater troupe of anthropomorphic purple grapes led by Grape and are the main antagonists of Princess Peach: Showtime!, where they take over the Sparkle Theater. Unlike the Theets, the Sour Bunch do not have visible noses.
Their name, alongside Grape's, plays on the phrase "sour grapes" which reference Ancient Greek theater's celebrations to honor Dionysus, the god of wine and theater.[1]
