Why do people hate raisins? They're chewy little sugar bombs. What's not to like?
Same this comic does not resonate
I have found my kin.
I love raisins by themselves, or sometimes in food like Tagine
Raisins in baking are almost always a disappointment
Exactly. I love raisins in trail mix, but any cooked or baked raisins are disgusting little bugs that pop in your mouth when you bite down on them and omg it makes me wanna hurl just thinking about it
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.
I'm from Europe and I don't like raisins. 🤷♂️
You're not far wrong, but the corollary is it's really hard to avoid unless you're fairly nutrition aware. After moving away I lost several kilo in a year by accident. Eating normal food and living someplace walkable does a lot.

Lol that's absurd hahaha People have different palletes and culture and socioeconomic history. To just slash out us little Americans for a quick jab is ignorant at best. Everyone loves fruit in America. Everyone on earth loves fruit. Put that pet theory to rest.
For what it's worth, I love raisins in bread, cereal, salads and cookie and I'm American as they come.
Even the pastry in the meme is a "pain au raisin" which they've just put.... icing sugar on top of 🤢
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.
They look and feel like I'm eating little roaches embedded in my food.
That just makes them better! Like when you eat lo mein and get to pretend the pieces of cabbage are little grubs. It's the best part!
I love raisins on their own. And in raisin brand for some reason. But I strongly dislike their texture in baked goods such as cinnamon buns or cookies.
For me it's the texture that causes issues. I love grapes, but dry them out and suddenly they make me nauseous.
They taste like stale air, in my opinion.
I like the golden raisins, take them when I hike and camp usually.
They taste like nothing to me. Feels like I'm chewing used gum or something.
I love raisins, especially in cinnamon rolls and carrot cake!
Carrot cake should be called something else if it doesn’t have raisins or currants in it. They are so damn good.
I love raisins. Hmm, I, probably, will buy them when my shift end
I have a hypothesis that all the raisin haters out there are super chocolate lovers. And they are just mad that it’s raisins and not chocolate. I’m not saying all chocolate lovers are raisin haters, but that all raisin haters are chocolate lovers.
Last I checked raisins aren’t harvested with slave labor and deforestation, learn to enjoy raisins they are amazing
One of my absolute favourite candy that's common in Germany is raisins in chocolate:
This one even says "Jeden Tag" ("every day") on the packing!
Heck yes. Those are amazing. It's been forever since I've seen them.
That shit slaps. My dad ate them at the lawn at a lake laying at a towel. He ate one that fell down. It was a rabbit poop 💀
I can add my sample size of one to your research. I don’t mind raisins but I love chocolate. Chocolate covered raisins are acceptable, for instance. The disappointment is what really leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
To add my sample to your research, I absolutely love both chocolate and raisins...
I honestly am not sure that there is a more perfect confection than chocolate covered raisins, not even kidding.
While I certainly do like chocolate chip cookies, where cinnamon buns are concerned, I don't want to replace the raisins with anything. I'll pick them out and eat just the cinnamon bun. So it's definitely the raisins, with their unquenchable evil.
Nah, I really dislike raisins and, despite liking chocolate, I am not a super chocolate lover.
Not much of a sweet tooth at all.
I do love fruits though, but am not a huge fan of dried fruit which is what raisins are.
I feel like raisins are always in the wrong place, and for everyone this place is different. But when they are in the wrong place, you immediately notice and and go "WHYYY". Hence raisins bad. Also chocolate sucks.
Hey, people that hate raisins, I'm curious how you feel about fresh grapes. Is this an issue with the whole thing, or just dried fruit?
Raisins are delicious btw I could eat golden raisins in particular by the fistfull
Raisins in particular have a mouthfeel like bugs for me. Fresh grapes are mid but nice when it's hot out. I like dried versions of most fruits I like the fresh version of
I'm not the biggest fan of raisins. Definitely wouldn't put them in any pantries.
Fresh grapes are amazing.
Not really big on dry fruit. Haven't really been that adventurous with that stuff though.
I think raisins in pantries is more about a random sour or texture rather than the actual raisin being bad tasting.
A cinnamon roll tastes amazing without raisins. Putting sour chewy landmines in it does not make it any better.
Just dried fruit. I love fresh grapes.
I think it's about the combination of sweetness and gummy texture. I dislike gummy candy as well.
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.
I don't mind raisins. I typically don't seek them out but for the most part they're a happy surprise.
I must state that raisins in cereal is a terrible fucking idea. They get hard and gummy.
Raisins in cinnamon rolls are delicious!
I don't think I've ever had cinnamon rolls without them
FFS, what a bunch of babies.
No no, you put one raisin in, just to fuck with somebody.
According to the webcomic Adventures of God, there is a special place in hell for people who give out raisins instead of candy on Halloween
Never go to a Christmas Eve in Brazil. People put raisins on everything! (And I love it!)
i like raisins
worse then chocolate chips but still prety decentI had to get out of bed and show this to my husband who hates raisins in cinnamon rolls. Personally I love them so if I don’t want to share…😜
Used to not like them as a kid. But love them as an adult
Raisers are fine on their own but I don’t want that change in consistency when I’m eating cinnamon rolls, cookies, whatever. Also expectations are big, have you ever taken a sip of a drink that is different than what you thought? Usually not a pleasant experience
Am I the only one who thought the cream was going to be... geez with j?
Jizz... you're allowed to spell it out.
Nah , his mom conducts surprise inspections.
The real crime is the cum on the top.
Joke's on him, I like raisins and any dried fruit. Crystalized fruit, however.
I've met more people that hate Carrots, then raisins. Not sure why. A carrot cinnamon roll... Would be weird...?
Nah carrot cake is a thing and it's delicious. You could easily turn carrot cake into a cinnamon roll
Is evrry comic strip a meme now?
Should it be in a "comics" sub?
Yanks won't like South African cooking, then...
Bobotie bros
hahahha love it
The devil is in the details
I like chocolate and yogurt covered raisins. Love raisins baked into bread. But naked raisins? Meh. I like dried fruit like banana chips, papaya, apple chips, etc.
I hate everything about raisins. I hate the consistency. I hate the taste. Raisins can fuck right off.
