Another unknown pepper.

Just moved to another part of town and in exploring my nearest grocery store I found these.
Smallish about golf ball sized.
Sweet with a hint of grassy flavor,extremely mild heat. Think bell pepper with a tiny kick.
Listed as mild peppers product of Mexico.
Any ideas of what they may be?
Please excuse the razor, I was at work and that was the only sharp clean enough lol

they look like what I've grown for 2 seasons which are cherry bombs or cherry peppers.

First thing I thought of was that they look like those cherry bomb things you get at the 4th of July.

They look like cherry bombs, especially with all of the seeds in the cavity.

Here is a similar one that I wanted identified as well (the lone red pepper at bottom). I bought this from a street vendor. The vendor said it was grown in Bolivia. I have 2 seedlings growing from it. This one was very sweet and, in my opinion, quite hot. Can anyone chime in please?

This one looks like a Rocoto.
How color was the seeds?
Do you have a picture with the seedlings?

Unfortunately I did not photograph the seeds, however, I remember them being brownish black. I just looked up the rocoto on google, and it's a match! Thanks! Seedlings below
