dude there was a kellogs cereal that was amazing, had oats, corn flakes etc and also tiny bits of chocolate to make it sweet. I would eat that stuff everyday. Loved it. Than they started adding more and more oats and less and less chocolat. at the end it was only oats. WHY?!
Sounds like a skill issue: just store the fruit outside the fridge for two months, and it will all taste consistently the same.
Sure, if you like the texture of fried cardboard
Pulpy apples are on my shit list
Entirely untrue. Any Doritos aficionado knows that sometimes you get a chip that’s like just covered in flavor dust and just a delight and like the yin and the yang some chips then must suffer and be paltry, a plain and bland corn tortilla chip that is not very good if it’s not slathered in a bath of msg.
All things come and go. Balance, the universe, chakras, etc.
(Also slathered in a bath is somewhat literal, they basically spray the flavoring on Doritos)
I've had bags that were entirely lacking in flavor dust. Not even at the bottom of the bag, someone else out there got the bulk of my flavor dust. That, or I got a bad run where they decided to cut costs by robbing me of my sodium fix.
I've learned to never trust Doritos or any particular brand of chip ever again.
I came here to say this, but don't believe I could have stated it quite so eloquently. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
Iirc I've never tasted doritos, but all the similar chips have been shit at least.
Plain salted tortilla chips can be nice though, given you got some salsa. But that cancerous yellow dust that people seem to enjoy?
I had to amend my will because of this.
If my corpse doesn't get shoved into the crematorium slathered in dorito juice I'm gonna screech cosmic truths in the nightmares of my loved ones.
Y'all can't tell when fruit is bad and just not eat it then?
Talking about mealy apples and artificially ripened blueberries. A lot of it depends on where you live.
I spent a couple years in Florida, all the fruit and produce was absolutely amazing. Most of the stuff grew locally or not far away. But by the tme you get to the mid-atlantic, you can't find a fresh tomato shy of a farm stand and the right month, all our fruit ships from south america. When they have to ship produce a long way, you get the under-ripened / artifically ripend crap. The growing seasons are so marginal that you can hardly get local fresh produce.
That's a good point. I buy most of my produce at small natural food stores. It's normally better, but more expensive for sure. Yeah supermarket produce can often be a let down.
Not rotten, just bad tasting. You have to taste it.
It’s why people go eat at chains in the suburbs.
Also the only thing that exists in the suburbs.
Doritos will always taste like poison… because they are.
I have never had a bad granny Smith apple.
Red Delicious are also consistent. They are always red and always taste like shit.
Mine's pretty refreshing, actually.
Got two Red Delicious and one Golden Delicious (looks like Granny Smith but is a bit softer) for the tartness.
Mmm.
Honey crisp apples are where it's at. Have never had a bad one
Honey crisp apples are amazing, I get the 4lb bag at Costco and they are gone in under a week.
Try cosmic crisp. It's a relatively new variety that was bred from the honey crisp
I absolutely have. They can be as mealy as the rest of them
Gravenstein on the other hand... they often get heart rot.
They make me accidentally bite my cheek every time I eat one
Meh. When they're a dark green they're incredibly sour. They need to be slightly yellowish, then they're amazing.
they're incredibly sour.
They are perfect.
Men ... They need to be slightly yellowish...
I like my men jaundiced.
You can't spell jaundice without juice.
You gotta take those lemons, and stuff them down somebodies throat until they see yella
I can literally only eat Topaz apples at this point. Any other type will just rot in my house until i throw it away. Best variety out there for people that like a lil sour.
Then you ain't eating them often.
I have, but it’s real hard. They’re almost always great.
Give me fruit or give me death!
Literally, scurvy can kill you
Yeah, but you don't necessarily need to eat fruit to prevent scurvy.
I don't eat any fruit at all (like absolutely zero), and I'm still alive
Just get a monthly suppliment bag of Doritos VitaPowder™ it has everything you need.
But does it have electrolytes??
Yes, a significant percentage of Doritos is electrolytes
Unfortunately, it's more common to have too many electrolytes rather than too few
Why, because y'all are scared I'll get electrical powers?
Ironic that an Alita stan account wrote that...
I demand my sequel. [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡ಠ_ಠ)̲̅$̲̅]
Praising Doritos for being consistently disgusting. Weird flex but okay.
My exception to this is grapes.
The texture of uncooked apples makes me gag 100% of the time though so I’m happy to hand those off to whoever likes them
There is nothing worse than a soggy or extra sour grape in the bowl
