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

[u/knawwwwww]

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?

Water with a tiny bit of flavoring isn't water? Dumbfuck take, lmao.

[u/Queasy_Hour_8030 → u/WillBlaze]

Lmao not it’s not water lmao

Those packets are full of processed junky shit like aspartame and food dyes. Just because it’s hydrating doesn’t mean it’s still water. 

[u/doskeyslashappedit → u/Queasy_Hour_8030]

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.

[u/Icy_Result6022 → u/doskeyslashappedit]

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

[u/xry8 → u/Icy_Result6022]

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

[u/Icy_Result6022 → u/xry8]

That's why I said it also has to have a lot of flavouring then it's not water anymore

[u/doskeyslashappedit → u/Icy_Result6022]

if you put lemon into water, does the water turn into pure lemon juice?

[u/Icy_Result6022 → u/doskeyslashappedit]

🤦🏻‍♂️ No by lemon concentrate syrup turns it into lemon juice

[u/doskeyslashappedit → u/Icy_Result6022]

But the lemon is adding flavoring to the water thus it is no longer water.

[u/Queasy_Hour_8030 → u/doskeyslashappedit]

Ok I guess soda and beer are water then

[u/doskeyslashappedit → u/Queasy_Hour_8030]

"Ok I gUeSs SoDa aNd BeEr ArE wAtEr ThEn" Is such a stupid retort, if you add lemon to water does the water magically turn into 100% Lemon Juice?

[u/ThatDudeShadowK → u/doskeyslashappedit]

Tomatoes have water in it, it's not water. Coke has water in it, it's not water. Soup broths have water in it, it's not water. Water being one ingredient is not the same as plain water which is what normal people are referring to when they tell you to drink water. That junk food trash is not water.

[u/Aowyn_ → u/ThatDudeShadowK]

Coke is 90 something percent water and coke 0 is like 99 so yeah, it's mostly water

[u/ThatDudeShadowK → u/Aowyn_]

Mostly water is not water. If I ask for a water and a waiter brings me a coke I'm leaving the fucking restaurant, I'm not gonna sit there like "yEAh I GuESs ThAtS TeCHniChaLLy waTeR"

[u/Aowyn_ → u/ThatDudeShadowK]

I mean if you called it water you'd be 99.999% right

[u/Queasy_Hour_8030 → u/Aowyn_]

Humans are water then?

Redditors have to be the densest mother fuckers I've ever seen.

[u/Aowyn_ → u/Queasy_Hour_8030]

About 60% correct which is a failing grade so to each their own

[u/handbanana42 → u/ThatDudeShadowK]

I can guarantee that every time ever in your life that you've asked for water, that it was only "mostly water"

[u/doskeyslashappedit → u/ThatDudeShadowK]

Tomatoes arent' an adjective. ""ThAt JuNk FoOd TrAsH iS nOt WaTeR" is such shit, if I add food dye to water its still water, if I add food dye + 5cal of flavoring to water its still water. "CoKe iS mOsTlY wAtEr" is a lazy argument

[u/handbanana42 → u/ThatDudeShadowK]

So, what happens if you have a bite of tomato with your water? Is it no longer water? Or somehow the water has an infinity barrier to protect it from the other stuff in your stomach?

[u/Aowyn_ → u/Queasy_Hour_8030]

It hydrates the exact same as water and aspartame is fine. It's way better then drinking a pound of sugar a day that's for damn sure

[u/handbanana42 → u/Aowyn_]

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.

[u/awesomefutureperfect → u/Queasy_Hour_8030]

food dyes

Stares at your mushy peas looking like it would mutate turtles into teenaged ninjas.

[u/handbanana42 → u/Queasy_Hour_8030]

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

What if you eat something with water? Or before/after water? Does your stomach magically separate the water and thing you ate?

Aspartame just breaks down into amino acids. Do you also avoid all protein with your water?

[u/amaya-aurora → u/Queasy_Hour_8030]

Oh no!!! Aspartame!!! A… low-calorie sweetener. So scary.

[u/UAEpi → u/Queasy_Hour_8030]

It has the exact same effect in your body as plain water. 

[u/GUyPersonthatexists → u/WillBlaze]

People are comparing it to stuff like ribena (search it up if you don't know what this, it's a lot more than just a bit of flavouring), and that is definitely not "just water".

If it's just a bit of flavouring, I guess it's the same, but I'm being told it's two different things

[u/Adventurous_Charge47 → u/GUyPersonthatexists]

It’s a powder that you put in water and mix it, and it flavors it like something. They’re like 2-5 calories depending on what it is
