    Hey, people that hate raisins, I’m curious how you feel about fresh grapes. Is this an issue with the whole thing, or just dried fruit?

    Raisins are delicious btw I could eat golden raisins in particular by the fistfull

      Raisins in particular have a mouthfeel like bugs for me. Fresh grapes are mid but nice when it’s hot out. I like dried versions of most fruits I like the fresh version of

      I’m not the biggest fan of raisins. Definitely wouldn’t put them in any pantries.

      Fresh grapes are amazing.

      Not really big on dry fruit. Haven’t really been that adventurous with that stuff though.

      I think raisins in pantries is more about a random sour or texture rather than the actual raisin being bad tasting.

      A cinnamon roll tastes amazing without raisins. Putting sour chewy landmines in it does not make it any better.

        Wait a moment, raisins taste sour for you? You sure you’re not confusing it for cranberries or anything? Don’t wanna discredit you or anything, I’m genuinely curious, because to me raisins taste as sweet as it gets.

          I mean, it’s been a while since I have had a cinnamon roll with raisins

          But I do feel like they were tangy and not as sweet as the cinnamon roll

          There are probably sweeter raisins and more sour raisins, just like grapes.

      Just dried fruit. I love fresh grapes.

      I think it’s about the combination of sweetness and gummy texture. I dislike gummy candy as well.
