Food You're Not Really Sure Anyone Even Buys

Apart from sexually-active fags who change partners more than underwear, who buys flavored condoms and dental dams? I grew up in one of the top areas to catch HIV, but I've never even seen them for sale, and only time I learned about the latter was a mandatory student wellness class in university.

What I don't get is why there are so many "gourmet" mustards. I don't know who even needs one. No one is ever going to regard mustard as some kind of elite foodstuff when you can walk into a McDonald's and walk out with a bunch of free packets of the stuff. "Gourmet mustard" is like some kind of a joke food that a movie scriptwriter just made up to show us what an insufferable snob some rich guy that we're supposed to hate is.

It's so the shelf can be filled. People are gonna by the Heinz or Store brand, but being presented by a wall of the same shit is off putting from a psychological stand point, so the monotony is broken by some off brand items. They arent really there to be sold, they are there to be looked at and give the customer the illusion that they COULD buy something else. Even if they wont.

Stores like Trader Joe's get around the issue of only having one brand by never stocking a large quantity of stuff on the shelf, and keeping most of their inventory out of sight. Constantly restocking as the day goes on.

I suppose like you said, if you have a ton of casual partners and want to do oral sex it's probably hygienic but...never heard anyone who used em. I can't imagine the flavors are actually pleasant (same with flavored lube...) Even colored condoms confuse me. I guess they're fun to some but it just looks silly seeing a neon green dick.

To contribute a food: random root vegetables like taro roots, sunchokes, celery root, jicama, etc. I don't know anyone who eats those. I would actually love to learn how to cook them since roots are my go-to for roasting veggies but I don't know where to start.

Way back when, I had a friend who got a paper bag full of condoms from Planned Parenthood after she went off Depo Provera. One of them was flavored, so another friend of mine decided as a joke to open it up and chew it like bubble gum. He said it tasted about like you'd expect. Flavored or not, it's still rubber.

Incidentally, the paper bag also had a dental dam in it, which, to this day, is still the only time I've ever actually seen one in person.

When I worked in a pharmacy, we sold them occasionally, though they were never all that popular. I think we eventually discontinued them.

I actually went and googled dental dams because I realize I've never seen one in person before either. They just look so...unsexy. It doesn't help that it pulls up a bunch of dentist offices using dams too. I doubt it's as stimulating either. Like, avoiding STDs is important and all but yeah.

I wonder who actually buys novelty sex foods, candy underwear, and whatever. I've never been to a bachelorette party so maybe that's where to find them but I remember browsing that section of a sex store once and being highly amused.

Tried it once, for the price and for what it was it wasn't half bad, IIRC The Woof Pit likes it which kind of got me curious about it

As for contributing to this thread, banana milk? Like not flavored like banana per se (I want to try that too though), but vegan milk like oat or soy milk but made with bananas. No one else seems to know it exists. Granted, it's twice the price of regular milk but I really want to try it.

Sir Banana Chocolate Banana Milk (which was Milk+banana+chocolate) was great, it was like a non ice cold shake (which was fine with me ice cold stuff hurts my teeth).
I miss Sir Banana

Blame Canada, its used for a variation of a Bloody Mary that started and/or is popular in Canada.

Mayo+ketchup is a popular mixture in The Netherlands if I recall correctly, and although I never tried the heinz mix (i made it my self) it was decent on fries.

My dad would always mix mayo and mustard and dip fries into it. I don't know where he picked up the habit but he is the only one I know who does it.
 
Microwavable meals, or anything resembling 50s tv dinners. You Would have to be a total sperg or boomer to see any kind of appeal to this.
Also anything that seems like it came from one of those 50s or whenever tv dinners, like instant mashed potatoes, just so bland and pointless. God boomers have the worst foods.

When I was a kid and I started trying to not be fat like my parents, I started making my own meals and looking at nutrition info. Ended up eating a lot of frozen dinners and canned soups alongside turkey sandwiches. Not exactly healthy either but marginally better than fast food. I've moved on since. There are some nice "fancier" frozen meals or organic burritos and junk but those are often more than I feel like spending.

I can agree on how sad the meatloaf, potatoes and/mac and cheese meals look. The potatoes are especially watery and weird.

Canned chicken. I can't think of a single reason to buy canned chicken over fresh unless you live in an area prone to natural disaster or something.

They're perfect for family members who insist they're good at cooking but aren't. I had a relative who tried to slow cook frozen chicken breasts in spaghetti sauce for an hour and pass the soggy, entirely raw chicken off as chicken parmesan. At least when they started using it in cans it was already fully cooked.

I never heard of the other ones, but we like to add one cubed celery root into a vegetable soup. Don't think I've ever had it without one.

Rambutans (and maybe lychees). They’re super delicious but I guess the wiry or knobby outsides make them look a little unappetizing to people.

Jicama is common in my parts of the southwest. People fuck them up by thinking they're just a Mexican potato and cooking them as such. Jicama is best served raw. 99% of the time you'll see it raw. Slice it up into fry or chip shape, quick rinse with cold water, and then season as you like. Johnny's seasoning with a little chipotle is the best. Shred and use for slaws and salads. It's basically like a non sweet apple texture wise. You CAN roast/fry/bake it, but it's super finicky and can turn to mush easily and you don't gain much from cooking it anyway. Goes well with any meat, especially seafood.

Or alternatively use the big fuckers as weights to lift.

Who doesn't like Dr. Pepper?
Also, raisins? They're just grapes, dude.

But, I'll give you raisins- Past grade school no one needs to eat those.
Maybe if you are doing shots in an iron-curtain bar. Kinda a Soviet-Bloc bar snack for the 'better establishments'

it might be a cultural thing, i know americans love it, but its honestly one of the worst drinks i've tasted. But that kinda happens with cola drinks from different places, where people who grow up with it love it to death but people who don't are weirded out.

I stand by raisins, those are evil. Nothing like bitting a piece of cake you thing have chocolate on it only to discover is fucking raisins.
