There are hundreds of these old varieties. The companies grew them in test plots, and they did, in fact, find some that weren't as bitter.

Quote from The Sentinel: A Jack Reacher Novel by Lee Child, Andrew Child

"He'd never killed anyone with a car. At least not by accident. He'd never had any collisions. Not unintentional ones. His problem was mainly one of temperament. Good driving called for a balance of action and reaction, speed and restraint, measurement and control. A middle ground, stable and sustained. Reacher on the other hand was built for extremes. His default was to move extremely slow or extremely fast. One moment he could appear languid, lazy, almost comatose. The next he could erupt into a frenzy of action, furious, relentless, for as long as necessary, then relapse into serene stillness until the next threat presented itself."
