Foods we hope will be discontinued

[A.P. Hill]

I didn't realize until I started drinking Waterloo how nasty LaCroix's are. There was one that claimed to be "watermelon" but tasted like a cucumber, and the lime flavor tastes like Drano smells. If that company went out of business tomorrow, I'd throw a party.

White Claws are the same thing: nasty, fake chemical flavor, but with an extra taste of wet corn.

I feel that way about the Kirkland brand lemon and lime seltzers- they remind me of lemon-scented dish soap. Might be the same aromachemicals.

I had the mango flavored White Claw and holy shit, that was an abomination!

Waterloo

The oddest part, the least offense seltzer I have had was Kroger brand. I’d actually drink it again if you gave me one.

This. Most the flavors are shit and the one or two good flavors are almost never in stock. I wish they would sell it in a 12 pack and cut out the majority of flavors so the shelf space can be allocated to the only two flavors I like, cherry and lime.

"watermelon"

I've tried a bunch of supposedly watermelon flavoured still waters, by both the big brands and the supermarket own labels, and I am yet to find one that even tastes like watermelon. The Volvic one was the absolute worst, I actually poured it out.

Corn syrup and palm oil.

- Some food dyes have been associated with ADHD in children and cancer

Adding on to this, most red food coloring is made out of powdered bugs. If you read the label on a red food, especially candy and drinks, you're likely to find them listed as E120, carmine or cochineal. It's also one of the food colorings that's associated with ADHD in children.

I can't have lemon-flavored anything, be it water, cookies or candy. It all tastes like dish soap to me.

I wish Lacroix would say what they’re made of because I enjoy some of the flavors, but they just say that they’re e s s e n c e d, whatever the fuck that means. Also I don’t know how some of the flavors are okay and then some are cherry cough syrup levels of bad.

Yes! It’s also in cosmetics, too, like blush and lipstick. It’s funny that “we already eat bugs in red dye” is the response of choice for some people when the eat ze bugs conversation comes up, like yes that’s the whole point I do not want to do that. Also I totally forgot caramel coloring. I always assumed it’s harmless because the name but I learned, from a veterinarian while looking for cat food, that it’s potentially carcinogenic. Obligatory humans aren’t cats, but still. Sad state of affairs when we could go on like this for a while

These shitty things:

These sewer water bootleg Gatorades take up space in the vending machines where I used to get my heart palpitating energy drinks. Fucking abysmal is what they are, and every other pseudo energy drink like it.

Not to mention lolcow Logan Paul created and makes money off them. Guess he couldn't exploit kids on YouTube anymore so he exploited them with sugar drinks

Volvic

You made me remember this.

WHY IS STARBUCKS STILL PEDDLING THE OLIVE OIL LATTES!? I'll die a happy Guido when Starbucks finally keels over for the flagrant abuse of olive oil.

I'll take my tophats and powerlevels, thank you.

This sounds like a nasty torpedo shit waiting to happen

Could you say that again? Olive oil lattes?

Apparently, you're right on the money. (archive) The actual guido at the end of the article thought it was strange, too.

The orange chicken bites from QuikTrip taste uncomfortably sweet, almost like candy chicken
I mistook one for a buffalo chicken bite and felt actual tangible sorrow when i bit into it.

Goddamn Kraft Dinner changed the recipe several years ago and no longer tastes like cheese, just fucking turmeric. Unfortunately all the other budget mac and cheese is no better. Annie's is okay if you can ignore the price. Cheetos is too salty.

Kraft changed their recipe to make their mac & cheese "all-natural" just to stop parents from whinging and complaining about kid-favorite foods artificial colors and flavors. And it's a damn shame too, I actually bought a box of the now-revived Spongebob mac and cheese last month and was thoroughly disappointed with it.

Unfortunately all the other budget mac and cheese is no better.

I'm a big fan of the Kroger-brand Private Selection mac & cheese, I especially love their "Italian" flavor and their BBQ flavor.

Annie's is okay if you can ignore the price.

I haven't had Annie's in ages but I remember loving their Wisconsin Cheddar mac & cheese (which seems to have been renamed to "Aged Cheddar” and split into four different varieties). I also liked their alfredo mac & cheese that‘s become hard as balls to find in brick-and-mortar stores.

Cheetos is too salty.

Seconding this (although I have noticed that the saltiness is somewhat reduced if you use unsalted butter), the noodles used in Cheetos mac & cheese also have a nasty tendency of breaking up during cooking.

You read that right. They were still lingering the Starbucks... Oil like that does not belong in fucking coffee. Period.

I'm still reeling back from the idea of putting fucking olive oil in coffee. Who in their right mind thought that was a good idea?

Howard Schulz. I think he enjoys waking up with a fresh cup of diarrhea in his toilet bowl.
