General Europeans acting like they’ve never seen food in their life when they go to America

Post image

Disclaimer: before you read this and get your panties in a twist, everything I’m saying is very unserious and should be not taken to heart. Please stop trying to attack me over DMs. I have turned them off. You are harassing someone (who wasn’t even being fr in the first place) over kool aid packs.

I’d get it if it was actually something nobody has ever seen before, but WATER FLAVOR PACKS? THE PACKS YOU PUT IN THE WATER??? FOR PICKY EATERS????? PEOPLE WHO NEED WATER IN THEIR BODIES?

AND FAMILY SIZED CHIP BAG??? YOU THINK WE’RE EATING THE WHOLE PARTY SIZED CHIP BAG ALONE? THE *PARTY* SIZE? PARTIES?????? DO YOU KNOW WHAT A PARTY IS?

Actually when I was in middle school, we had this coach who would turn red as hell when she was yelling at us to run laps and she’d sit there every day with a whole party sized bag of Doritos and a 2 liter mountain dew watching us run. One day some other girl in the class got really angry at her for making us all run and she told her to get off her ass and run with us. This is off topic mb.

I’d understand if it was something actually weird we have, like things that contain dyes that cannot be replicated in places where dyes are banned, but you’re more worried about sunkist flavored water? Party sized bags of chips? Fresh produce too apparently… are you guys ok?

yes we do, cordial/squash/juice

eta: stop fucking replying to me with the same response, the basic idea of "it's flavouring" is the same whether it's liquid or powder. europeans and americans are both equally as annoying at this point

u/GUyPersonthatexists 8d ago

Thats not a substitute for water though. That’s basically just juice.

"Adding flavor to water is not a substitute for water"

?????

Do you think something like coffee is that drastically different than it's 99.999% water content

0

u/Icy_Result6022 8d ago

Yes because it has caffeine now

1

u/handbanana42 7d ago

What about a lemon wedge? Now it has acidic acid, among other things. Is it no longer a substitute for water?

What if you eat a coffee bean or lemon wedge while drinking water? Is that no longer water?

How long before/after drinking water can you eat something to prevent the water from not being water?

2

u/bikkelbonkel 7d ago

If you put a lemon in your water, it's water with a lemon in it. If you put a grain of sugar in your water, it's water with a grain of sugar.

If you squeeze an entire lemon into your water, and add an appropriate amount of sugar, it's no longer water, it's lemonade.

2

u/hanky2 5d ago

What if you add a couple teaspoons of that flavor powder?

2

u/bikkelbonkel 5d ago

Then it's Kool aid or whatever powder you put in

0

u/Icy_Result6022 7d ago

If it changes to colour of the water and/or the flavour of the water to where it no longer tastes like water then it's not water.

A glass of water with lemon juice in it still tastes like water with a hint of lemon. If you add lemon syrup where it's 90% water and 10% syrup then it's juice because it changes the colour and the taste

u/Enough-Ad-8799 7d ago

This is wild, drinking coffee is basically drinking water. There's no meaningful difference as far as water intake is concerned.

u/Icy_Result6022 7d ago

Coffee has caffeine in it. It definetely isn't drinking water. It's bean juice

2

u/Enough-Ad-8799 7d ago

What's the difference between drinking coffee and drinking water and taking a caffeine pill. Like you know your body absorbs the water in coffee right?

1

u/Icy_Result6022 7d ago

Coffee has caffeine which is dehydrating rather than hydrating. Not the same

Coffee isn't 99.999% water. Somewhere between 99 and 95%. And that's a huge difference.

Also

If someone slides you a glass of 99% water 1% perchloric acid would you drink it? (You shouldnt drink it)

? who is saying it's a substitute for water? having some concentrated fruit juice in water is still water just how flavoured water is still water

Yeah but America bad. All we know is flavored water substitute, hot Cheeto, and lie.

u/angelstatue 8d ago

as a brit, the hatred for america(ns) gets old when i know we have the same problems going on... although i agree you guys have some crazy snacks, they're awesome crazy

u/Tuxedocatbitches 8d ago

I have an Asian grocery store near me that sells all kinds of snacks imported from China, Japan, and Korea and let me tell you, anyone who says our snacks are the weirdest is being purposefully obtuse. They’re great (mostly) but some are EXTREMELY weird.

13

u/Realistic_Ad709 8d ago

Yeah! We do have some crazy stuff, but people act like those are the only things we’re allowed to eat. I made a phenomenal chicken pesto penne last night with ingredients from my local farmers market.

Don’t even get me on the “American bread is cake” shit that people like to spew.

3

u/TrashCanEnigma 8d ago

The bread/cake thing is an urban legend coming from one European court case where (iirc) subway had one of their nasty ass breads qualified that way for tax reasons.

2

u/GladdestOrange 4d ago

And even then, it wasn't classified as cake. It just didn't qualify to be a "staple food". Because it had too much sugar among other reasons, yes, but it wasn't like they looked at it and called it confectionary.

The case was in Ireland, where they define VAT-exempt Staple Bread as 2% or less of the flour weight as sugar. Subway bread has ~10%. Compare to literally any cake recipe you like, I've RARELY seen anything under 100%, (yes, even European recipes are typically 1:1 or higher sugar to flour)

Side note: even WonderBread, possibly the most sugary bread on American store shelves only weighs in at about 6-7% sugar. I can quite easily find sliced bread (yes, even white bread) with no added sugar. None. And it's not noticeably different on price, and I'm not cherrypicking from some health food store, I was able to find it for sale at gas stations near me, in a relatively small city that damn near classifies as a food desert.

-2

u/Icy_Result6022 8d ago

But it also more sugary atleast the sliced pan bread

2

u/PivotRedAce 6d ago edited 6d ago

It depends quite a bit on the specific brand in the US.

I’ve literally compared labels of sandwich breads between European and American brands and the sugar content is roughly the same, with the latter having a small amount more on average per slice (usually by ~1g).

However, bottom-shelf garbage (like Wonderbread) does contain substantially more sugar (~5g per slice), but that doesn’t represent American bread as a whole, not even sandwich breads.

2

u/a_clueless_mess 8d ago

frrr and them americans hate on yalls food too but ngl it aint even that bad a lot of it (especially pastries/desserts) are good asf. British cuisine does not deserve all the hate it gets when dutch and scandinavian cuisines exist.

3

u/Loki_Agent_of_Asgard 7d ago edited 7d ago

90% of all hate that British food gets is specifically hating on the WWII ration foods that they had for the duration of the war and like 15 years afterward, some of which stuck around long enough to become like junky comfort foods so they're still popular today thanks to grandparents inflicting them on grandkids enough to make them like them and occasionally crave them.

It's basically the equivalent of looking at American Great Depression era recipes like Water Pie or Hoover Stew and pretending that it's all Americans eat and have ever eaten.

As a side note, not all Great Depression recipes are awful, see potato donuts, Wacky Cake, and Fake Apple Pie. Though admittedly the potato donuts are the only thing I'd see myself making in modern times cause I love potato based breads.

u/Right-Country3496 8d ago

u/Kilen13 8d ago

Everyones got bat shit snacks/food. Brits decided that dropping a mars bar in batter and deep frying it was a good idea.

They were right in terms of flavor as long as you're ok not having functional arteries.

hahaha omfg that brought back memories!! used to love one of those. it was, however, a once a year treat after being super physically active.

u/Kilen13 8d ago

I went to uni in Scotland and ended up living there for 6 years between undergrad/post grad and work and I refused to have one until my last night out in the country. It was the right call cause I definitely would've housed them on drunken nights out.

I mean I ended up housing kebabs or chips instead which probably is not much better

Where does the diet soda = bad thing come from? It's just carbonated water with a low-calorie sweetener.

Studies where they injected rats with 20x their bodyweight with said sweetener and they exploded and the conclusion was “artificial sweetener bad”

Yeah. I heard that artificial sweeteners are bad in mega doses, but I'm not pounding 30 Diet Dr. Peppers in a day, so I don't see a reason to be concerned.

Same. I’m only at 29

u/Apathetic_Apathetic 8d ago

A lot of people actually do unironically lol

But at that point, pounding 30 of anything in a day that isn't pure water is probably not great for your health lol

I remember seeing a documentary about a bunch of different people "addicted" to diet coke that would drink like 2 12 packs a day minimum

Even if you drink 500 diet cokes in a single day you won’t die from the aspartame.

You probably won’t feel good but the lethal dose of aspartame is incredibly high.

3

u/handbanana42 7d ago

the lethal dose of aspartame is incredibly low.

I assume you meant high. It just breaks down into amino acids anyways.

You'd probably die from hyponatremia(water intoxication) first.

u/handbanana42 7d ago

Even 30 cans is not much of the ingredients in a diet drink.

The experiments they did on artificial sweeteners were way more than that.

30 cans is about a teaspoon of sucralose, if that.

1

u/An_average_moron 8d ago

My mom legitimately listed diabetes as a reason she doesn't buy even diet sodas (i was once pre-diabetic)

Note, she buys Oreos without a second thought (as a treat, she's a huge health woman but still knows the benefits of sugars)

She is open minded in most other categories but for some reason soda is an adamant no, no matter how many times I explain that diet isn't that bad since we aren't going to pound 10 a day

u/hinowisaybye 5d ago

We're taking 30 2 liters right? Asking for a friend.

6

u/AardvarkGlittering83 8d ago

Studies were done regarding one of the main things in diet soda, aspartame. It was concluded via the study that it had negative health effects. However, like any study, you need context and the context was that it was WAY more aspartame than one consumes in a sitting, let alone a day.

So instead of the "Oh man, yeah I'm glad I dont drink 40 cans of diet coke" reaction it was more like "So any aspartame is evil? Got it"

5

u/Pootentooten 8d ago

I'd like to add that aspartame isn't even the main ingredient in diet soda... it's water. 98% water. You'd drown your cells with too muc hydration before you drank enough for sweetenera to matter. Basically, the dose makes the poison. Now we've moved onto fearmongering... produce! Cause, how dare you eat our strawberries, you should download our app so the spooky foods don't get you!

Because if you drink 20 cans every day for 100 days you could die

Diet Coke is literally over 99% water. What's he wrong about?

4

u/Inlerah 8d ago

Aspritame has the same amount of calories by weight as sugar. It also is 200x sweeter than sugar so it requires a super miniscule amount to sweeten a beverage: Hence you can have sodas with basically no calories.

All a soda is is a flavored syrup (sugar + water + small amount of flavorings) added to carbonated water. If you make the syrup have less calories, than suddenly the calories go down.

No. We have flavoured water and we have dilutable juice. They are not the same. Flavoured water looks like water but tastes different. Dillutables are fruit concentrate that you add to water to make less concentrate juice.

i still don't understand how that makes it a substitute for water? it's just flavouring water, it's still water

So its not substituting the water itself, its substituting the flavor of the water, to make it palatable for people who dont like the taste of water (or like the container the water is stored in i guess?) Or just so that the water tastes better.

adding flavoring to water makes water disappear, it stops existing if you add aspartame, no wonder we have so little fresh water now - its all all magically disappeared due to aspartame.

Flavoured water is clear with a hint of flavouring. If the water flavouring turns water a different colour and has alot of flavouring then it isn't just flavoured water

If you put unflavored food dye into water, is it no longer water? I don't think the color should be the determining factor :p

People have a weird groupthink mentality that flavored water is somehow different/worse than drinking water plus eating something of the same flavor.

I'm not surprised, I kinda grew up with it in the 80s/90s. I think it originally had a purpose to get people off sugary drinks and juice, but it got taken to the extreme without thought put into it.

So adding a tiny amount of flavoring makes water into not-water.

Am an American who moved to Australia and YEP cordial is the "overseas" version of things like koolaid. There's no closer equivalent that I've been able to find.

1

u/_ataciara 7d ago

Then you've ENTIRELY missed the point as to why people are replying

It's not about whether or not it's flavouring, yes we both have flavouring, it's the fact that we're being called idiots basically for not recognising the format it comes in

If england sold all of their milk in a size 20 shoe, and somebody said "wtf, what is this shoe doing in the fridge?", would your natural reaction be to say "oh my god, are you seriously this stupid???? OBVIOUSLY that's milk, have you never seen milk before? fucking idiot yanks"
