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 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.

[–] Icytrees@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

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 have never had a bad granny Smith apple.

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Meh. When they're a dark green they're incredibly sour. They need to be slightly yellowish, then they're amazing.

[–] NaibofTabr 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Men ... They need to be slightly yellowish...

You can't spell jaundice without juice.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You gotta take those lemons, and stuff them down somebodies throat until they see yella

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago

they're incredibly sour.

They are perfect.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honey crisp apples are where it's at. Have never had a bad one

[–] stopforgettingit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honey crisp apples are amazing, I get the 4lb bag at Costco and they are gone in under a week.

Try cosmic crisp. It's a relatively new variety that was bred from the honey crisp

I can literally only eat Topaz apples at this point. Any other type will just rot in my house until i throw it away. Best variety out there for people that like a lil sour.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Red Delicious are also consistent. They are always red and always taste like shit.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Mine's pretty refreshing, actually.

Got two Red Delicious and one Golden Delicious (looks like Granny Smith but is a bit softer) for the tartness.

Mmm.

[–] CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Then you ain't eating them often.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Gravenstein on the other hand... they often get heart rot.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I have, but it’s real hard. They’re almost always great.

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

They make me accidentally bite my cheek every time I eat one

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago
[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I absolutely have. They can be as mealy as the rest of them

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Give me fruit or give me death!

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Literally, scurvy can kill you

[–] Lag@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just get a monthly suppliment bag of Doritos VitaPowder™ it has everything you need.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But does it have electrolytes??

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes, a significant percentage of Doritos is electrolytes

Unfortunately, it's more common to have too many electrolytes rather than too few

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Why, because y'all are scared I'll get electrical powers?

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but you don't necessarily need to eat fruit to prevent scurvy.

I don't eat any fruit at all (like absolutely zero), and I'm still alive

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s why people go eat at chains in the suburbs.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Also the only thing that exists in the suburbs.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] derekabutton@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

There is nothing worse than a soggy or extra sour grape in the bowl

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] thelivefive@startrek.website 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Y'all can't tell when fruit is bad and just not eat it then?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] thelivefive@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] FridaySteve@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Not rotten, just bad tasting. You have to taste it.

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ironic that an Alita stan account wrote that...

[–] Bananigans@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

I demand my sequel. [̲̅⁠$̲̅⁠(̲̅⁠ ͡⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)̲̅⁠$̲̅⁠]

[–] locahosr443@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Sure, if you like the texture of fried cardboard

[–] ashughes@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Enshitification has entered the chat. It's only a matter of time.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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?!

[–] Mrkawfee@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

Pulpy apples are on my shit list

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Doritos will always taste like poison… because they are.
