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

      Someone gave out little boxes of raisins on Halloween. I poured them into my mouth. They had worms in them. To this day I’m suspicious of raisins.

      Raisins are fine until you eat a cookie expecting chocolate chips and get a raisins instead.

      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.

    They tell you that having a kid changes you but I was not prepared to freaking love raisins from literally one day to the next. Ever since I popped out that kid I fucking love raisins. Didn’t like them in pregnancy, didn’t like them before, one day plopp and goddamn raisins are the best.

    Also happened with nuts and marzipan.
