These are my new favorite tomatoes – other grocery store cherry brands can be almost tasteless. If I save the seeds will they grow true to these guys next year?
They're trademarked so I doubt I can buy the seeds somewhere. Thanks tomato lovers 🍅

You can certainly try growing the seeds. Could be a pleasant surprise

ETA: I love these tomatoes too. Glad I saw this.
You might check out Johnny’s Selected; they usually offer at least a few “market-type” grape varieties every year.
Also, look up the seed developer & then search from there….there’s at least a couple vendors online that resell packets of commerical-type hybrids (or at least they claim to do so; have never ordered from such, and can’t speak to their legitimacy)
edit: may be of interest to you, in terms of trying to grow them out from storebought:

.. also note, pretty much any tomato you grow will have 900x better flavour than that you get at the grocery store. My own opinion, I would start with something prolific, ease to grow from a known seed distributer in your region, and wouldn’t over think it. You can’t go wrong with a Sungold cherry tomato. The fact that the package said “packed in USA” leads me to believe you’re in North America – should have no issue finding a lot of good varieties, easy to grow.
You don’t need to grow those. You can grow any number of varieties that will be better. Look at Juliet.
They look really similar to the Sugar Rush F1 hybrid that are readily available?
If it’s a hybrid like an F1 or F2 hybrid ect yea no way of knowing what the seeds will come out like when planted.
But you might be surprised. No harm trying
I had those during Thanksgiving last year, def a good little tomato.
I’d just cut two in half, plant each halve now, and see what happens next year. Ones bound to take. My * volunteer * tomato from last year, out performed two my tomatoes i planted this year. Oddly satisfying.
We grow similar plum cherry tomatoes. The variety we grow is called Lobello F1 (a hybrid).
This is however in Europe so may not be available in the US.
The variety we grow is very, very productive but more susceptible to blight than other hybrids we grow (and other cherry varieties) – but less than heirloom varieties.
Very, very tasty and sweet specially in comparison to “regular” cherries.
