Oh, yeah, it’s disgusting, but that’s not gonna keep me from eating almost everything there.
I look at these like chips ahoy cookies. They were once pure unadulterated treats not unlike what you would make at home but without the hassle. Over time they altered the recipe slightly. Many many times. And now chips ahoy cookies raste like sweetened cardboard with little tiny bits of what would be the minimum standard of what could be called chocolate. Ill still eat em if theyre in the house. But i know there are far better cookies to be had.
My father likes to eat this stuff. He knows it’s gonna kill him. He knows it’s probably why he can’t lose weight. I stopped trying to influence him and I just tell him how I eat because I like to share. My little brother is going into medicine and can’t seem to grasp that ‘dad doesn’t want your medical opinion, he wants his little debbie treats’
He’ll figure it out.
Maybe dad will too.
None of it is bad. Some of it is quite good, in fact. It’s just a value proposition. As you get older, the flavor payoff on superfluous calories needs to be way higher.
Can’t agree, I did a cross country road trip recently, those swiss rolls were just as good as I remember them as a kid lol
Except nutty buddies
Those and oatmeal cream pies for me
Yeah, they taste like sadness. You think they are going to be rich and flavorful but they are mostly bland and overly sugary.
Idk if my memory is fucked up or if they were better as a kid.
They’re bland for the same reason little pink hot dogs are bland. They’re for little kid taste buds.
They were better. Optimisation is filling everything with palm oil and other cheap replacements. Few ingredients may be hard to notice, but it all gets optimised to the point of inedibility. We have full shelves with hundreds of choices for those all to be sad and gross. Not to mention bad for the farmers and the environment.
Someone else mentioned that transfats were making them taste better too.
I’m sure enshitification isn’t helping either though.
None of that was ever good. Trailer park breakfast food.
Don’t pretend 5o know what we eat.
Sugar is something humans crave. So unless you get less-human by aging, I suggest you try a couple of them instead of seeking attention.
I don’t think honey buns can get bad. It’s basically a glazed donut.
I’ve started using them as a cheap alternative to sport gels. They got a ton of calories and are super cheap. If you’re just doing a long run you don’t need the 2:1 glucose/fructose ratio.
I mostly agree but there is always at least one guilty pleasure that I’ve got my eye on.
I used to sneak those after breakfast in elementary school. Now I’d probably puke just smelling them.
The one thing I have to admit I enjoyed when I visited the US a long time ago, was the glazed donuts from Costco. Way over the top sweet, but I did like them. I wonder if they still hold up.
so many euphemisms for sex all in one place
Zebra cakes, for when you love black booty and white booty
I still like ho ho’s, if they like ding dongs.
