Food You're Not Really Sure Anyone Even Buys

[Agoodpotroast]

Thread tax: speaking of goyslop, there’s a certain kind of disgusting high-sugar poison you can find every now and then in stores. When I refer to this “genre” of food I’m pointing at products like Sour Patch Kids popcorn/cereal, Flaming Hot Mountain Dew and Cheetos Macaroni and Cheese (bonus points if it’s the Flaming Hot version)

Okay this. I was literally at the grocery store an hour and saw Sour Patch Kids popcorn and Oreo flavored popcorn. Whose fucking idea was it who did too many lines and said "You know what would be a great idea?" and green lit that shit? The cheeto flavored mac and cheese? Eh but I can wrap my head around it. The cereal flavored milk? Still find the idea revolting but can wrap my head around. But some of these people need to stop playing God and creating things that should not exist.

I feel the same way about restaurants who overdo it on Instagram and go "Bloody Mary? Let's put a fucking burger on it." What? Who are you and why are you doing this?

Anything plant based.

My dad buys Clamato to mix with beer, which lots of posters were quick to note was a very common thing people use that juice for.

It's a good ingredient for a Bloody Mary too.

Seriously what the fuck? Why?

It's a gut shot, like Kombucha. It's got a bunch of probiotics. Good for digestion. You're not necessarily drinking it for taste.

So in some parts of Europe the idea of savory popcorn is revolting. I got used to savory, buttery popcorn while living in the US (Libyan popcorn is the basic bitch stuff you make on the stove-top), so I experienced a little bit of culture shock when my better half informed me that savory wasn’t the norm in the UK. It’s actually very difficult to find salted popcorn that isn’t also sickeningly sweet. Also there’s no ranch dressing, which is annoying, but hey, I’ve got Vimto again so it’s not all bad.

Ahhhh I see. I'd rather eat kimchi but hey to each their own.

Anything mint chocolate flavoured. It's the peak of "ackshually it's an acquired taste" in my opinion.

It’s not even an acquired taste. Acquired tastes are anything that doesn’t rely on the appeal of sugars or fats to instantly taste good to our most basic response to food. It’s either you enjoy it or you’re wrong.

Going through the thread I realized more than half the posts are made by amerimutts with the palate of a toddler and there's nothing wrong with the foods they mention.

They want people to take pictures of their crazy Bloody Mary and share it on Instagram. The same as those outrageous milkshakes with whole slices of cheesecake and cookies and all that bullshit piled on top. They're built for being shared on social media and drawing in more customers because of said shares.

Canned meats. I see food charities hand spam over to people who just want something free to eat, but who the fuck subjects their body to that crap and pays for it?

It's extremely convenient to use for sandwiches or to add to pasta or whatever. Corned beef hash is pretty badass too.

Kraut juice is really good as a tangy ingredient in soups and stews, but then I'd rather just buy actual fresh kraut and not just some canned juice that's gonna suck.

I feel the same way about restaurants who overdo it on Instagram and go "Bloody Mary? Let's put a fucking burger on it." What? Who are you and why are you doing this?

Instagram has made business marketing rely on strong visuals, so restaurants started making all these obnoxious over the top presentations as a way to advertise themselves in lieu of just making unfussy food that actually tastes good.

It's a good ingredient for a Bloody Mary too.

Which makes it a Bloody Caesar, a drink apparently unknown south of the 49th, sadly. Garnish with a celery stick. Mmmmmmm.

Store bought kombucha has no probiotics in it. It's heated up to kill any bacteria, even good bacteria, before it's shipped to a store for sale. If you want kimchi or kombucha or kefir or sauerkraut or anything with probiotics in it, you need to make it at home.

Anything plant based.

Do you eat pasta? Potatoes? Rice? Fruit? Vegetables? Juice? Tea? Bread? Beans? Lentils? Chickpeas?

Anything mint chocolate flavoured. It's the peak of "ackshually it's an acquired taste" in my opinion.

I liked that kind of stuff even as a kid ._.

Yes. But I'm referring specifically to Plant based meat. (Falafels being the exception).

Not really. I find Black Licorice more of an acquired taste than Mint Chocolate.

Ok, I actually kind of agree with you. I'm vegan and I never buy that (too expensive and often riddled with weird shit). What I do buy regularly is tofu. I'd make it myself if I had the time.

The ones that weird me out are those chips, like Funyuns flavored Lay's/Ruffles (can't remember which, can't be bothered to look). It's like "I love me the taste of some Funyuns, but I hate circles, finally a chip me!".
