before you reply to my silly funny haha joke with either 'doritos have different amounts of flavour on them' or 'buy organic fruit' please consider that i have already been repeatedly told both of these things for the past 9 hours and they're both wrong. thanks

    Nature could never invent Spicy Sriracha Limon flavors. That is why man is above nature.

      Correct, you will never find chiles, lemons, or vinegar in nature.

        Certainly not in these extreme combinations with delicious nacho cheeses on golden crispy triangles.

        We can bring the mightiest ranch flavors to heel with a delicate fiesta of fiery spice. One day we may even create nachos flavored like Smoked Chipotle Birrah Tacos. Do you know what that means? It means that we're done. That this is as good as we're going to get.

        I mean almost all fruits have been selectively bred for tens of generation to produce the flavours that we all know

    Both of those things are awful. Most types of supermarket fruit have been selectively bred for shelf-stability, appearance, and in some cases durability for mechanical harvesting and is further picked underripe so what ends up in the store is a flavorless piece of shit that rots without ever ripening, and doritos are objectively the worst kind of chip, somehow even surpassing pringles in that regard.

      I can't shop for fresh food at supermarkets anymore, I keep getting burned with shit that's about to turn but was hidden nestled in the bosom of decent fruit (like blackberries). I have a couple local grocers I trust, bonus they're both ethnic grocers so I can get legit gochujang or eid food depending on the season!

      my local farmer's market fruits and veggies legitimately taste like a completely different food from grocery store stuff it's insane

    It honestly does suck when you bite down on a fruit and it's a complete dud, just money straight down the drain :kitty-cri:

    What if we just did cloning on the best fruit we could find??? :bazinga:

      That already happens, its called selective breeding.

        Unfortunately :porky-happy: has never been interested in selectively breeding for flavor, they breed for size and yield, and if that means your apples end up less sweet then that doesn't matter because we sold a higher number of them.

    Not entirely wrong but eat fruit you fucking sickos, you don't want scurvy.

      You can also avoid scurvy with kimchi or bean sprouts.

      Always mystified me that the British navy didn't figure it out with pickled cabbage, they had cabbage, they had fermentation, it's preserved. Just stick some on with the hard tack and salted beef, tell the gits to shut the fuck up and eat it if they complain or die of scurvy.

          Like how they used to give everyone on the boats beer so they could forget how shitty it is to be stuck on a boat, but then stopped because American troops got jealous.

    Yeah? This is why people who can't cope with texture and flavor differences tend to eat junk food. OP is probably just autistic.

    I mean fruit is consistent enough - just don't buy it when it's out of season (ditto for tomatoes, just use canned if applicable)
