How will we be able to stand so much success?
Once I saw a video about an American comparing their and a normal European Fanta (not the allegedly better ones with more fruit and a different name. just what I have drunk a few times in my life, 20-30 years ago. it wasn’t here until I became an adolescent and it’s not like I started to drink soda then, I just tasted them occasionally)…
He praised the normal sugary Fanta to the sky, oh it’s better, healthier and everything…
NO, said all the Europeans and tried to imagine what garbage Americans eat and drink if the clearly not great, not healthy normal Fanta is something much better… Yeah, high fructose corn syrup, it is allegedly in everything. Not like we don’t have glucose fructose syrup in many things but it’s often just sugar. I think. I rarely read sugary stuff labels nowadays.
(By the way, people make cake with Fanta here, it goes on the top with some gelatin. I always found that super weird. If I make homemade cake, that surely won’t contain soda, pudding powder or biscuits, only basic ingredients. I understand tiramisu, not everyone wants to bake when making an otherwise no-bake dessert…)
But now, sugar as the sweetener in something I can kind of appreciate. It’s usually sugar, aspartame, acesulfame-K, maybe something else… The last 2 are just the foulest things for me so no temptation is possible. At least sugar doesn’t taste horrid. It doesn’t taste good either but well, it’s just for sweetness.
Apropos heroin (I think it’s heroin but one of the big ones). It’s a healthier, way less addictive substance compared to krokodil…
Opium was the favorite of the count of Monte Cristo…
