12 Grapes of Good Luck TVE

In Spain, we celebrate New Year's Eve by eating 12 grapes (the "12 grapes of good luck") at each chime of the clock as it strikes midnight.

That Pacman/Mastercard combo was good marketing. Subtle and promoted both Mastercard and Pacman.

[@TheHerbert4321]

the trick is to eat tiny grapes

[@rosaorenes4849]

The tradition is to eat 12 grapes (one every time a chime of the clock rings) to welcome the new year from Madrid's Puerta del Sol at Spain
Instructions:
1. At 28 seconds before the new year, the ball of the clock will lower down for 8 seconds while a fast ringing of bells sounds
2. The 4 quarters sound (one quarter each double chime) for 20 seconds and warns you that you still can't eat the grapes
3. We can hear 12 chimes and each of them we eat a grape (Each chime is 3 seconds) and with a total duration of 36 seconds

@@jtinftbl The 12-chimes start AT midnight, one grape per second. It's NOT EASY!!!

[@kittyboi1448]

When the bells are over. New year rings. Note: each bell sound repersents a grape.

When it start? 23:59 or 00:00?

[@lisa8683]

The comments say start at 00:00. Play the video at 1:47 and each grape is for each chime so you should be done at 00:00:12. Hope that helps!
