    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.
