Hang on a minute, baby, someone is wrong on the internet.
Same types of people think pineapple don’t belong on pizza. Fucked in the head is what I call em.
You shut your dirty whore mouth
Exactly the kind of lively discussion I was hoping for!
Well, that’s that. Close the thread
Agreed. Close thread.
There are virtually infinite things to shit on us Americans for, and most of them deservedly so. But this one ain’t it.
Give me peanut butter and chocolate or give me death.
gives you peanut butter and chocolate
That being said, this regeme might still give you death if you happen to be too brown.
peanut butter brown
or
chocolate brown
?Peanut butter brown is an African American with jaundice. So yeah - still too brown for current administration

Isn’t that the same? If you’re eating peanut butter and chocolate together frequently, you’re probably not long for this world…
and banana!
I was going to comment exactly this, except I’m not American
I’ll make it even better! Chocolate, peanut butter, and a sprinkle of salt
Sub the salt for a thick piece of crispy bacon. Thank me later.
I laugh my ass off when every few years someone combines peanuts and jelly on the Great British Bake-off and literally every single time all the other British people are like “wow, you have invented literally a brand new innovative and delicious cuisine”.
There was an episode I remember where they explored Mexican cuisine and a contestant said ‘Gacky-molo’ for ‘Guacamole’ and that has stuck with me since.
I thought I knew what a bad taco was before that episode. They proved me wrong.
The same idiots that say this are the ones who think Nutella is some transcendental ambrosia even though it’s more palm oil than either hazelnuts or cocoa.
Nutella mixed with the cheapest American peanut butter is heaven. Thank you globalisation.
Sometimes the greatest sins can become part of our most beloved miracles
Thank you. People love it or hate it but don’t seem to understand it’s just bland palm oil. I want to like it. I’m their core demographic in many ways but there’s not enough flavor to like or dislike, and why would I eat palm oil?
I don’t like this food.
Ok, there’s lots of stuff I don’t like. Why not grab a Snickers?
It’s an abomination!
Whoa there, it’s just a Reese’s cup…
phillistine depravity!!
Look, that’s excessive, isn’t it? And there’s only one L in phi-
AMERICA BAD!!!
Calm down, psycho! Holy shit touch grass!
Abysmal take. Chocolate ice cream with frozen peanut butter swirled in is proof that god loves us.
as Katt Williams would say: god made that
When I was a kid, my family went to go visit some extended family in rural southern France. It was going to be over Halloween, and since the French don’t celebrate it, we brought some American Halloween candy for them to try. To our surprise, they loved it, especially the Reese’s cups. We had expected them to find it gross, since they had much higher quality chocolate in Europe.
A bar of Hershey’s, you can really taste the butyric acid that forms during their unique process. In a Reece’s cup, the high sugar content of the filling (it’s not really even peanut butter) overpowers it. I actually like Reece’s but Hershey’s is a last resort chocolate.
I’ve executed drone strikes in 3rd world countries for less than the absolute anger this post makes me feel
Yeah, but you execute drone strikes in 3rd world countries all the time, CIA_chatbot, how can we tell when you’re doing it out of genuine anger?
…. You know, that’s a good point.
Gotta up the drone strikes to set a spectrum. More strikes is more serious.
Woah Woah Woah. I’m Canadian and peanut butter and chocolate is also a thing here. Peanut butter may be my favourite thing. Why am I catching strays?
Canada is part of America, just not the USA.
Peanuts and Cocoa are distinctly (South) American, if you can distance applying the term American just to the USA.
Yeah because when I’m aboard ppl always assume I’m Canadian or from Honduras when I say I’m American
I’m not arguing the colloquial use of the term “American” here.
No, I cant
I get that the connotation is Americans are people from the USA but it does erase some of the identity of the rest of the Americas.
All I was saying was it’s not surprising that the person from the Americas enjoys a combination of flavors distinctly from the Americas.
Peanuts and Cocoa are distinctly American, South American to be precise.
Peanut and choc you said?
Deep-fried Reese’s cups. You know you want it. You want to dip them in strawberry jam, and top them with whipped cream, and a chocolate sauce drizzle. It’s okay, we won’t judge you.
You also want chocolate-coated grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with mint chocolate-chip ice cream. Just… try it. We won’t watch. Just the one time.
This is so undeniably, objectively true.
Peanuts end up in everything because they’re very cheap, not because they’re that good.
Peanut butter is … fine. That’s all you can honestly say. PB&J is edible at it’s best, and then only rarely. Reese’s is a testament to how easy it is to sell coagulated sugar and salt. Bougie peanut butter cups are just polished turds.
Thai is the only cuisine that knows what to do with peanuts.
undeniably, objectively true
proceeds to provide personal opinion
And an undeniably, objectively false one at that!
The peanut mania that grips this nation and blinds people to objective fact has you in its tentacular grasp.
W R O N G
Get out.
Reece’s is NOT peanut butter. Not even the same flavor profile.
they hated jeebus
It ok, I forgive them, they know not what they do.
A gazillion years ago I was in a shop that had an american aisle, so I bought some some american chocolate that had peanut butter in it. Reese’s, I think?
Anyways it tasted slightly like chalky chocolate vomit with peanut butter on it.
I thought I’d got a bad batch so the next time I saw some I got something from Hershey’s. Again, chocolate vomit.
Never had any of that shit since.Cadbury’s in the UK have been adding extra things to their chocolate bars for years now. My cynical brain tells me it’s to mask the fact that they’ve changed things and lowered the quality of their products.
When did this happen? A few years after it was sold to Kraft, an american ‘food’ company…American regular grocery store brands of chocolate are horrible. Hershey’s and all the rest. Of course it’s the cheapest ingredients drowned in sugar to cover the otherwise poor taste. Cadbury’s now tastes waxy to me. Used to be pretty good. All in the name of profit.
Aldi in the US actually has really decent chocolate, their Choceur label for milk chocolate is quite good. Good luck finding it, I think the tariffs killed the availability, haven’t seen any for weeks.
I thik a lot of the US stuff are things you have to grow with. If you taste them once you’re an adult, you see them for what they are and they’ll never work for you. Hershey and Oreo being the obvious examples for me.
Hersheys has always been horrible but we never had any choices when I was growing up. I’ve had a huge variety of tastes though, from bad to horrible: I can only assume one of the many problems is either lack of environmental controls or keeping it way too long. We have much better options now and I haven’t voluntarily had Hersheys in a couple decades.
However I object to Your criticism of Reese’s. It’s fair to say it’s not quality chocolate, fair to say the filling isn’t really peanut butter, fair to say it’s ungodly sweet, but chalky? Yes, I love it: why?
