      dude there was a kellogs cereal that was amazing, had oats, corn flakes etc and also tiny bits of chocolate to make it sweet. I would eat that stuff everyday. Loved it. Than they started adding more and more oats and less and less chocolat. at the end it was only oats. WHY?!

    Sounds like a skill issue: just store the fruit outside the fridge for two months, and it will all taste consistently the same.

      Talking about mealy apples and artificially ripened blueberries. A lot of it depends on where you live.

      I spent a couple years in Florida, all the fruit and produce was absolutely amazing. Most of the stuff grew locally or not far away. But by the tme you get to the mid-atlantic, you can’t find a fresh tomato shy of a farm stand and the right month, all our fruit ships from south america. When they have to ship produce a long way, you get the under-ripened / artifically ripend crap. The growing seasons are so marginal that you can hardly get local fresh produce.

        That’s a good point. I buy most of my produce at small natural food stores. It’s normally better, but more expensive for sure. Yeah supermarket produce can often be a let down.

    Entirely untrue. Any Doritos aficionado knows that sometimes you get a chip that’s like just covered in flavor dust and just a delight and like the yin and the yang some chips then must suffer and be paltry, a plain and bland corn tortilla chip that is not very good if it’s not slathered in a bath of msg.

    All things come and go. Balance, the universe, chakras, etc.

    (Also slathered in a bath is somewhat literal, they basically spray the flavoring on Doritos)

      I’ve had bags that were entirely lacking in flavor dust. Not even at the bottom of the bag, someone else out there got the bulk of my flavor dust. That, or I got a bad run where they decided to cut costs by robbing me of my sodium fix.

      I’ve learned to never trust Doritos or any particular brand of chip ever again.

      I came here to say this, but don’t believe I could have stated it quite so eloquently. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

      Iirc I’ve never tasted doritos, but all the similar chips have been shit at least.

      Plain salted tortilla chips can be nice though, given you got some salsa. But that cancerous yellow dust that people seem to enjoy?

      I had to amend my will because of this.

      If my corpse doesn’t get shoved into the crematorium slathered in dorito juice I’m gonna screech cosmic truths in the nightmares of my loved ones.

    Praising Doritos for being consistently disgusting. Weird flex but okay.

    My exception to this is grapes.

    The texture of uncooked apples makes me gag 100% of the time though so I’m happy to hand those off to whoever likes them
