    I dunno about that, but I do know Reeses cups taste bad. Too much sweet and salty.

    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.

    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.

      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 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 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.

    To whom it may concern:

    Please be advised that your meme will be slathered with creamy peanut butter and drizzled with melted chocolate. Afterwards, you may immediately go and pound sand.

    Should you decide to spread this misinformation further, we will be forced to place a bounty on you. When you are captured, you will be taken to Hershey Park and doused with Hershey’s chocolate syrup in front of many peanut  butter & chocolate lovers.

    For good measure, the public will be armed with crunchy peanut butter balls dipped in milk chocolate if you attempt to escape (dark chocolate covered peanut butter balls sold separately).

    Sincerely,

    The American Committee for Chocolate & Peanut Butter Advancement

    and

    The Reese’s Foundation

    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.

          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.

    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.

      I’ve genuinely never understood how people can stand chocolate and fruit together. Or fruit and coffee for that matter. Chocolate and coffee taste kinda similar to me though so those mix well…

      But fruit with either is just super nasty to me.

      All that said, the best chocolate I’ve ever had was some imported thing that tasted vaguely of raspberry, but wasn’t actually supposed to. It was just chocolate that got stored with other candies.

        If chocolate and coffee taste similar to you, I can see why you wouldn’t like it with fruit!

        I like chocolate with my fruit (berries, apple even) but I don’t care for fruit in my chocolate bars, funny enough.
