    Hey, people that hate raisins, I’m curious how you feel about fresh grapes. Is this an issue with the whole thing, or just dried fruit?

    Raisins are delicious btw I could eat golden raisins in particular by the fistfull

      I’m not the biggest fan of raisins. Definitely wouldn’t put them in any pantries.

      Fresh grapes are amazing.

      Not really big on dry fruit. Haven’t really been that adventurous with that stuff though.

      I think raisins in pantries is more about a random sour or texture rather than the actual raisin being bad tasting.

      A cinnamon roll tastes amazing without raisins. Putting sour chewy landmines in it does not make it any better.

        Wait a moment, raisins taste sour for you? You sure you’re not confusing it for cranberries or anything? Don’t wanna discredit you or anything, I’m genuinely curious, because to me raisins taste as sweet as it gets.

    I hate everything about raisins. I hate the consistency. I hate the taste. Raisins can fuck right off.

    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

      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 💀

    Why do people hate raisins? They’re chewy little sugar bombs. What’s not to like?

      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.
