Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.

Right now, here’s the rules:

  1. Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
  3. No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.

How to tag: To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz

Here are the current tags:

The biggest crime is using Skippy. Only Jif, or Peter Pan.

They forgot the vanilla ice cream.

I mix it in my mouth with the bread, like the good Lord intended!

Just like the mayonegg from Arrested Development

Yes. 1: because mixing is bad 2: because jelly is way too sweet and tastes bad

If your jam comes in a bottle…

Yeah, I mean mixing good quality jam is one thing, but this can't be it.

This pic is some dystopic stuff. How can you eat those fake mixtures full of chemistry? Is this what people in USA eat? Even the bread looks like it would never spoil.

The palm oil is a problem ecologically, but healthwise is actually pretty decent as far as common fats go.

The bread is a shame and there's a lot higher quality available, same with jelly, though the squeeze bottle is convenient.

This kinda bread goes bad in about a week if kept air tight, or a few hours if left out.

The jelly is made with corn syrup, but otherwise doesn't contain "scary chemicals". It contains pectin, citric acid, and sodium citrate, which are completely natural things to be in jam or jelly. Pectin is traditionally boiled from apples, citric acid traditionally comes from lemons, sodium citrate is essentially just lemon juice and baking soda.

The only dystopian bits are the corn syrup and the scale these foods are made at. Calling them "fake mixtures full of chemistry" just makes it sound like you don't know that all food is chemistry.
