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.
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.
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.

Even the pastry in the meme is a “pain au raisin” which they’ve just put… icing sugar on top of 🤢
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.

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.
Damn it, man! I just bought a big pack of those little boxes of raisins for my toddler yesterday. Now I’m gonna remember this and instinctively check the damn box before I give them to her. Thanks a lot!!
Well I hope you do! Just pour the raisins into your palm, see that they’re fine, put them back in the little box for the kid to pinch out one at a time. Meanwhile, put all the little boxes in a ziplock bag to keep pantry moths out. If you want to be extra sure, I think if you froze them for a day or two you’d probably kill anything that was already in there.
Nah your previous piece of candy had a powerful hallucinogen in it.
Protein candy
Nooooooo
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.
They taste like stale air, in my opinion.
I like raisins.
I especially like raisins baked into pastries.
U monster!
Me monster.
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
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.
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.
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
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
No no, you put one raisin in, just to fuck with somebody.
Never go to a Christmas Eve in Brazil. People put raisins on everything! (And I love it!)
The real crime is the cum on the top.
I 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…😜
Joke’s on him, I like raisins and any dried fruit. Crystalized fruit, however.
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
