Why do people hate raisins? They’re chewy little sugar bombs. What’s not to like?
Same this comic does not resonate
I have found my kin.
I love raisins by themselves, or sometimes in food like Tagine
Raisins in baking are almost always a disappointment
Exactly. I love raisins in trail mix, but any cooked or baked raisins are disgusting little bugs that pop in your mouth when you bite down on them and omg it makes me wanna hurl just thinking about it
They’re fine as long as they’re inside the baked good. Won’t get roasted too much there.
Those burnt one on the surface are terrible.Someone who cannot appreciate the joy of a Fly Cemetery Biscuit smh
To the American palate natural sugars taste like sour lemons. The rest of the world goes crazy for sultanas or raisins in things because they are such a sweet little surprise. To Americans raised on a steady diet of factory brewed high fructose corn syrup, they seem to offend and overwhelm their senses.
I hear so much raisin hate on American podcasts etc. I’ll never understand it.
You’re not far wrong, but the corollary is it’s really hard to avoid unless you’re fairly nutrition aware. After moving away I lost several kilo in a year by accident. Easing normal food and living someplace walkable does a lot.
Raisins are fine until you eat a cookie expecting chocolate chips and get a raisins instead.
Chocolate chips are fine until you eat a cookie expecting raisins and get chocolate chips instead.
Yeah, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are trash.
I respectfully disagree and look forward to each one of them.
Also: this Comic makes no sense. Raisins are awesome (if done right in baking)!
If they don’t have worms in them.
Someone gave out little boxes of raisins on Halloween. I poured them into my mouth. They had worms in them. To this day I’m suspicious of raisins.
Damn it, man! I just bought a big pack of those little boxes of raisins for my toddler yesterday. Now I’m gonna remember this and instinctively check the damn box before I give them to her. Thanks a lot!!
Protein candy
Nah your previous piece of candy had a powerful hallucinogen in it.
Nooooooo
They look and feel like I’m eating little roaches embedded in my food.
That just makes them better! Like when you eat lo mein and get to pretend the pieces of cabbage are little grubs. It’s the best part!
I love raisins on their own. And in raisin brand for some reason. But I strongly dislike their texture in baked goods such as cinnamon buns or cookies.
They taste like stale air, in my opinion.
I like the golden raisins, take them when I hike and camp usually.
I love raisins, especially in cinnamon rolls and carrot cake!
Carrot cake should be called something else if it doesn’t have raisins or currants in it. They are so damn good.
I have a hypothesis that all the raisin haters out there are super chocolate lovers. And they are just mad that it’s raisins and not chocolate. I’m not saying all chocolate lovers are raisin haters, but that all raisin haters are chocolate lovers.
Last I checked raisins aren’t harvested with slave labor and deforestation, learn to enjoy raisins they are amazing
I can add my sample size of one to your research. I don’t mind raisins but I love chocolate. Chocolate covered raisins are acceptable, for instance. The disappointment is what really leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
One of my absolute favourite candy that’s common in Germany is raisins in chocolate:
This one even says “Jeden Tag” (“every day”) on the packing!
That shit slaps. My dad ate them at the lawn at a lake laying at a towel. He ate one that fell down. It was a rabbit poop 💀
Heck yes. Those are amazing. It’s been forever since I’ve seen them.
To add my sample to your research, I absolutely love both chocolate and raisins…
I honestly am not sure that there is a more perfect confection than chocolate covered raisins, not even kidding.
While I certainly do like chocolate chip cookies, where cinnamon buns are concerned, I don’t want to replace the raisins with anything. I’ll pick them out and eat just the cinnamon bun. So it’s definitely the raisins, with their unquenchable evil.
Nah, I really dislike raisins and, despite liking chocolate, I am not a super chocolate lover.
Not much of a sweet tooth at all.
I do love fruits though, but am not a huge fan of dried fruit which is what raisins are.
I feel like raisins are always in the wrong place, and for everyone this place is different. But when they are in the wrong place, you immediately notice and and go “WHYYY”. Hence raisins bad. Also chocolate sucks.
Raisins in cinnamon rolls are delicious!
I love raisins. Hmm, I, probably, will buy them when my shift end
Raisers are fine on their own but I don’t want that change in consistency when I’m eating cinnamon rolls, cookies, whatever. Also expectations are big, have you ever taken a sip of a drink that is different than what you thought? Usually not a pleasant experience
This consistency difference is why raisins are great in a chewy oatmeal cookie, but not so much in a crunchy or soft butter cookie.
Used to not like them as a kid. But love them as an adult
According to the webcomic Adventures of God, there is a special place in hell for people who give out raisins instead of candy on Halloween
Never go to a Christmas Eve in Brazil. People put raisins on everything! (And I love it!)
No no, you put one raisin in, just to fuck with somebody.
FFS, what a bunch of babies.
They tell you that having a kid changes you but I was not prepared to freaking love raisins from literally one day to the next. Ever since I popped out that kid I fucking love raisins. Didn’t like them in pregnancy, didn’t like them before, one day plopp and goddamn raisins are the best.
Also happened with nuts and marzipan.
This is even more weird than the people who hate pineapple on pizza.
Yanks won’t like South African cooking, then…
