What and why do the spanish eat at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve?
For luck. Each sweet grape you eat will be a good month and each sour one will be a bad month. You have to start at 12 am and end before 12:01 am, in Spain they go with the chimes of a certain clock but it's important to finish on time. I believe you are supposed to eat green ones and you can make a wish with each one you eat.
