What’s something so sweet you don’t eat it?

Pic sadly related.

For me It's Lemon Lush.
Mom used to make it a couple times every year for the family and most every time there was a need for a potluck dessert.
Loved it as a kid, but the thought of that much sugar with that much whipped, sweetened soybean oil, makes my stomach roll over.

my mom made some banana bread, and my dad refused to eat it cause he said it was too sweet. there was no added sugar in it

[Anonymous No.20417442]

OOOOH, Good one!
As an adult, everytime I think I'm nostalgic for one (about every 3-4 years,) I regret it about 3 bites in.

Fucking retard, It's a universal for Boomers--Coast to coast, although the South lays claim to it, especially if it has pecans in it.

Use peanut butter that doesn't have added sugar. It's much more balanced.

[Anonymous No.20417681]

why don't you morons just calorie count and accommodate for the occasional high calorie sweet?

Too much sugar is just nauseating, and sometimes it even irritates your throat.

Fondant, and not even because of sweetness but it's lack of real flavor. I even say this as someone that prefers American Buttercreams over Merigue-based ones precisely because they aren't sweet enough.

[Anonymous No.20417944]

>>20417907
No. It uses a shortbread base that you bake instead of Marias, and it does have cream cheese, but the topping is usually Cool Whip,(fake whipped cream) instead of the sort of mousse/custard cross made from evaporated and condensed milk.
A fusion of the two would be amazing.
I also eat the hell out of Marias. maybe once a month, I act like a complete glutton and spoon cherry pie filling on the chocolate ones.
Never had Mexican icebox cake, but now I'm going to have to make it.

I don't have any issues with sweet desserts, however sauces like barbecue absolutely can be too sweet.

[Anonymous No.20418151]

These things. I think they're shit but everyone goes crazy for them.

[Anonymous No.20418152]

How can something be so sweet you don't eat it? You eat less of it or it's simply a shitty, ill-prepared dessert. God damn you're a dumb fuck. Is there a gun to your head forcing a portion size onto you? God damn, control yourself!

It's got too much sugar in it so it's unpleasant to eat. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

I can't eat baklava. I like the flavors just fine, but biting it and chewing hurts my teeth, it's so saturated with sugary stuff. Shame. Pastry and pistachios are both separately my jam. It seems like putting them together would be a no-brainer.

I just don't like honey, pistachios rule. I'll have one bite of a sheet of baklava once a year or so.

Anybody use those drink powders that say mix with a 16.9oz bottle of water? One of those lasts me a gallon, they're so strong, don't know how people use a packet all at once.

Don't buy the stuff with added sugar.

[Anonymous No.20419312]

I love Chocolate and Peanut Butter, and when I first saw these being sold in the American Import section of a UK supermarket, I got excited. I genuinely felt my heart racing from the sheer amount of sugar per bite, and couldn't finish the box.

Use PB without the added sugar
Use jam made with real fruit

Then it works.

Also: toast your bread, and put salted butter on your bread before the pb or j.

Any cake you find in America.
Ever since I moved here, I haven't been able to find good cake except for ar small, distinctly european bakeries (French, Danish etc.). Also, american (and mexican) cakes are all super sweet but also super dry and like 35% frosting that tastes like nothing but sugar.

Well, I had to look it up. Seems I was wrong, it uses hydrogenated coconut oil and palm kernel oil; both oils that I'm fine with.
Still, too sweet, but I posted mis-info and figured I should at least address it.
Seems strange nobody called me out on it, but goes to show, you really do have to read the labels.
May as well own it.

carrot cake is the worst for this. Holy fuck, half the cake's mass does not have to be frosting.

Pretty much all American chocolate bars. Could devour them as a kid, but even one mini bar is too sickly sweet for me now. Crunch bars were my favorite. I've found replacements that are more palatable, but they're expensive hipster bars that are like twice the cost.
