I love em and see them all the time. Same with peanuts. Good ole raisins and peanuts.
My hubby has that problem too when he’s taking a shower. His BMI is off the scale.
Wow. Smart joke structure, but mean.
Yeah, thanks to Lemmy I’m getting pretty good at this.
Here you go. 🙂
Ceci n’est pas une raisin
Un*
I was just using the wording from the painting. Is there a reason why it would be different for the word raisin instead of pipe?
Raisin is masculine so it gets ‘un’ but pipe is feminine so it gets ‘une’. Gendered languages are interesting.
Pipe is feminine?!
Yep! A mouse is feminine. A horse is masculine. A car is feminine. A fridge is masculine. A door is feminine. A bed is masculine.
Sure, but a pipe is completely phallic. Please tell me flower and clam are feminine
In French, that is. Other gendered languages might be totally different, or even have ‘genders’ other than masculine/feminine.
I have a bag of raisins in my pantry.
You sure they’re still there?
Yep, I had a handful when I got home from work.
It’s because most people don’t really like raisins so most people aren’t going out of their way to get raisins. We only saw them a bunch growing up because there was an ad campaign.
I don’t even know what kind of container they come in anymore. Raisins are weird and niche af if you think about it.
I bake with them pretty often
Next time I am in a store, imma be looking for raisins now.
I just encountered some in a bag of snack mix the other day. It was not an experience I cared for.
Ooh it was for real? I thought it was wordplay on “I haven’t seen a raise in 15 years”
Maybe you should wash your dishes.
Go lie on the ground in your kitchen and check with a flashlight under all the furniture and whatnot. There’s bound to be a few.
The store has them.
I find this response good and funny.
Also not to make it weird but I haven’t been to a grocery store in years because I have agoraphobia, and I hadn’t even thought about that part. 😅
They’ll literally even bring them to you, anymore.
ordering grocery delivery for a single teeny tiny box of raisins, as a bit
(don’t actually do that though, if you want to order some raisins get the rest of your groceries with it haha)

On an unrelated note, a joke I remember from my childhood, which I’ll now butcher because it’s been a few decades:
Person goes to grocery store, asks if they have apples. “We do” “Good, can you give me 10, individually bagged?”
Next day: “Do you have carrots?” “Yes, we do” “Can you give me 5 of them, individually bagged?”
Day after that: “Do you have raisins?” “NO, we do not sell raisins here!”
Because they are garbage and nobody eats them anymore. Maybe you get them in a full dish if you are unlucky.
All died of heroin overdose.
