food

This quick and entertaining Tumblr thread has us witness the online spectacle that is a Tumblr user potentially learning for the first time that they're allergic to citrus. While we're on that note though, what's with the whole eating ants thing? Like, come on, man. That being said, this thread should definitely serve as an educational reference point for anyone who has ever found themselves with an unexplainable itchy throat after eating bananas/avocados/fruits/etc. Oh, and honey isn't supposed to burn. That's no good.

The customer is always right unfortunately, so from time to time, Subway employees have to make horrible sandwiches. Honestly, it's not the employee's job to eat it so it's no skin off most people's backs. That said, people's sandwich decisions can be memorable. For a different kind of memorable sandwich encounter, here's a Subway employee who had to tell a customer that mayo isn't vegan.

This quick and entertaining Tumblr thread shines light on various recipe stereotypes from all corners of the globe. The comments section really stepped up to keep the train rolling with more hot takes on recipes. You be the judge on whether or not this is an accurate reflection of different recipes as they're typically known to specific cultures.

After this guy's coworker bullied the office mom to get his way, he stepped in to make sure his coworker's selfish pizza plan didn't come to fruition. The world has its fair share of entitled people and their wild demands, and a whole lot of people who get inadvisable but satisfying petty revenge.

This employee came to learn what constitutes a food allergy, a bit later than they might have expected. The tingling that their brain had registered as perfectly "normal" was an allergic response to the bananas they were eating. Their co-workers must've gotten a kick out of the revelation. 

And just like that you learn something new every day. Whenever you get down and in the dumps coming off a fresh brain fart experience, just remember that there are in fact people walking this globe that are unaware that steak is beef. Unreal. 

You haven't really been in love until you've eaten banana bread that you loathe, for years, purely out of love. This grandpa is nothing short of a legend. 

Food is one of the great experiences of life, and at the same time one of the most nauseating and off-putting. Experimentation is good, and some gross food combos are actually great. But sometimes people take it too far, and try to pass it off as a good idea. What it really is is cursed food created in the underworld's kitchen.

This educational Tumblr thread effectively debunks some misconceptions that folks have surrounding local and ethical farms. We have a Tumblr user come in hot with some "facts" that they clearly didn't bother researching themselves, before sharing. Fortunately another Tumblr user comes in to clear up the mess, and lay out the reasons why it's a worthwhile endeavor to support those local and ethical farms. 

Check out another entertaining read from Tumblr with this story about the dad that defeated an evil snowplow with a steel enforced mailbox. A legendary story of revenge if we've ever seen one. 

Sure, it's fun to spice up the dining experience with some clever presentation, but at the end of the day it's sort of telling when a restaurant puts less emphasis on the food itself and more on the vintage telephone it's served on. Sometimes it's hard to tell what part of the dish is actually edible, especially in the case of minerals that look a lot like food.

The collective opinion in the comments section for this particular AITA seems to be that this parent was not in the wrong. They simply insisted on teaching their daughter a lesson about not wasting food, and also not forcing your beliefs on others. 

We're throwing it back to this oldie goldie, where a dude unleashed total rage on the state of his burrito. Some people can get themselves worked up over just about anything. When it comes to the very serious nature of the quality of a burrito, we have to say that we get it. It is no laughing matter. And seriously, people eat burritos with forks? Nope. Please, nope.

Thinking he was making the more affordable choice, this guy accidentally ate himself a few hundred dollar's worth of high-end beef. Without the knowledge that this is how restaurants price this stuff, we would probably have made the same mistake. For some other things to not buy, here are absurdly overpriced things people have seen.

Man, oh, man, this dude is a walking red flag. He bothers his ex about getting help during a rough time, and when she actually pulls through and gets the dude a giant pizza, he pitches a fit! Truly surreal. Check out another case of painfully obnoxious entitlement with this rude choosing beggar who got more than he bargained for.

This guy's quick tale of the time that he ate too many oranges and got sick might make you feel better about your biggest brain farts. The poor guy thought he'd gotten sick, and was reasonably concerned about getting the rest of his family sick, only to realize that he'd been unknowingly inhaling mold spores.
