... I want one
Americans be eating like they have universal healthcare but we actually do in my country
They kind of suck. That's the real travesty with these franchise crimes against cardiology, it's all cardboard with high fructose corn syrup drizzle.
It tastes good, right, but also... Shallow. Literally just a shitload of sugar and fat, nothing unique to it.
I bought a milkshake on a beach boardwalk a couple weeks ago, as a treat, cuz I was at the beach, yknow, why not. The last time I had a milkshake was probably this time last year. They only offered one size, 20 oz. I would have preferred less, but whatever. My friend got a single scoop in a cup. About a third of the way into my shake, she was done w her scoop, and i did not want to eat anymore milkshake, but I also didn't want to be wasteful, so I ate the rest of it, but it was not good anymore. It was too much sugar, and then my tummy hurt haha. Her lil scoop was the perfect amount and cost less than my stupid thing.
Sorry, you didn't ask for this anecdote. It was all to say: I agree with you, sure they taste good, kinda, but only for a minute and then the suffering comes.
Does it actually taste good though? Sure, ice cream is good. But nearly double the sugar and that ice cream turns into a vile mouth assault.
Well, it's got oreos in it. They're kind of an acquired taste. So your mileage may vary. If you grew up with them you'll probably like it. If not, it depends.
I have never in my life heard someone call a chocolate biscuit an acquired taste.
If that is an acquired taste, literally everything is an acquired taste and we can retire the phrase lmao
It depends on the chocolate. For example, Hersheys are an acquired taste because of the butyric acid.
I could see Oreos being off putting to folks who have gone most of their lives without them. Easy for them to hook you when you’re young and taste good forever, on the other hand.
Call me a 12 year old in the body of a 30 year old, but "explosion of sugar and fat" is still my go-to for desserts and my pick whenever I have a cheat day
Never much cared for "complex" or "acquired" taste desserts. Even the sourness of cheesecakes displeases me.
If I'm consuming enough calories that I'll spend the next week paying the bill with interest, it better taste like I'm being brutally assaulted by a bag of sugar.
These sorts of things usually taste better in the first three spoonfuls than anything that comes after.
My bowels feel like they have a cannonball in them after.
What more do you need?
