Quasi-psuedo- official Atop the Fourth Wall thread

Excuse me if I happen to enjoy oatmeal raisin cookies.

Except the real winner in those cookies isn't the raisins (which bring them down if anything). It's the stuff added to it to disguise the wretched taste of raisins. Stuff like cinnamon, molasses, etc.

I'll eat and even enjoy oatmeal raisin cookies, but I don't try to pretend that the raisins are something I tolerate as opposed to liking in them.

When I was a younger less discerning child I liked raisins. Then I found out dates were a thing. I could never go back to raisins afterwards.

Besides, everyone knows the real best cookies in the world are fresh chocolate chip cookies and Snickerdoodles made with cake flour.

I like raisins.

Chocolate-covered raisins are the best snack in the universe, and I usually throw a few raisins in whenever I make a salad.

I seem to remember trying dates at some point and not being impressed.

No, the best snack in the universe is chocolate by itself, unadulterated by those shriveled up monstrosities.

I respect you, M84, so I'm going to assume you're talking about Swiss dark chocolate, because I don't want you to be wrong.

People sure get passive agressive about their snacks.

Makes you wonder if Veggie Tales made kids feel eat salad was sacrilegious or something.

Well, duh. I have standards.

I won't be caught dead eating that brown chalk Hershey's tries to claim is chocolate.

There's nothing "passive" about my aggression. I take my snacks very seriously.

But I like Hershey's...

I'm really craving chocolate covered raisins now

Sigh...if y'all insist on continuing to eat shriveled up little mummy fruits, at least pick currants over raisins. Those are slightly more palatable than raisins.

As for the edible chalk...well I'd recommend using them solely to make S'mores. The graham cracker and warm melted marshmallow work wonders to hide the chalky aftertaste.

Y'all crazy Raisins are great. Love em.

Actually it's just M84 who hates raisins, everyone else here seems to like them.

Hershey's cost me a tooth. Literally, no exaggeration.

I was eating a cookies and cream bar, and heard a sickening crunch. I wasn't sure what it was until a few minutes later, when I felt around with my tongue and found that something in the bar had shattered my first upper left molar. There was just a chunk missing out of the tooth.

I could possibly have salvaged it, but I was close to broke at the time and couldn't afford a dental operation, plus I was scared of dentists. Over time, the rest of the tooth decayed, leaving just a stump.

Last year, having achieved a modicum of stability and a decent cash buffer, the rest of my teeth started to disintegrate due to a long history of not taking proper care (that's on me). I finally went to an amazing dentist who did an incredible amount of work, part of which was ripping out the remaining stump of the one lost to the Hershey's bar; he was astonished that something so rotten wasn't causing me pain.

So in conclusion, fuck Hershey's.

I'll be honest, if I wasn't using heavy-duty mouthwash my teeth would probably be fucked six ways to Sunday.

x2 You might be mis-attributing the blame here. Maybe.

M84 is a person of refined taste, though.

I don't mind raisins personally. But I also wouldn't say I'm fond of them either. As for chocolate, I'll admit to having a love for milk chocolate but I've enjoyed other kinds as well.

& Hearing stuff like that reminds me that I really need to start taking better care of my own teeth. I'll admit to not being perfect in this regard. Which isn't helped by the fact that my teeth are straight which makes brushing and flossing a bit difficult but it has never been a major problem.

I also hate raisins but haven't made it a Single-Issue Wonk. (Here. It's one of the many reasons I hate St. Patrick's day IRL).

So yeah, that's why I hate the California Raisins and everything associated with them. I already disliked raisins. The campaign elevated that hatred into something almost profound.

A war over raisins...

...TV Tropes you never fail to astound.

It really is the little things sometimes. That drive people crazy.

I take what I stuff in my face hole very seriously.

Raisins are good, but the important question is...

...Wait, are these the Californian raisings the comic is talking about?◊ Because if that is the case, geez, good thing we never got those mascots here

Rhyme Beat: What do raisins have to do with Paddy's Day?

Yes, they were originally made to sell Sun Maid raisins. Something that they ultimately didn't do very well.

And it's not a "war" over raisins. That would imply more people hate raisins here. It's mostly just me futilely trying to elucidate on why raisins are awful hateful things.

Ugh, I can't wait for the next review which covers something far less disturbing and sickening than raisins: Hellstar Remina.

Hey, kinda a random question, but I just watched the 10th anniversary episode and at the very end, Linkara jokingly talks about stuff he learned in this time. One of these is "I learned who Angelo is and why his death is stupid" or something to that effect. The image on screen at this point refers to Uncanny X-Men #423, which he reviewed. However, in said review the joke is that Linkara doesn't know who Angelo is and, thus, the 10th joke is, I presume, a reference to a latter review where he learned more about the character.

So, the question is, does anyone knows which review is that? I am really curious and I don't know how to search for this.
