My friend after eating 500 grams of peanuts "Isn't it funny when you eat penuts and your throat closes and itches a lot?"

[–] [email protected] 76 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Me: "Man, I love chocolate so much, it's a shame it makes my throat feel so tight and sore."

My mom: "Hey Ash... You're not allowed to eat chocolate any more..."

Reminds me of this YouTube channel I used to watch called "WheresMyChallenge".

They did a "1lb Snickers Bar" video. Where one of them promptly discovered he was allergic to nuts.

It makes me repeatedly sneeze and makes my nose run a bit

I hate this. Kiwis taste sooooo good. But I also have some mild allergy. Same with pineapples.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

oh man, that totally sucks

those fruit are soooooooo good.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I love food that digests me back!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

It's not fun unless it's a fair duel

I love Kiwifruit season when they get down to like $1/kg

I eat a lot of them.

The juice is great for tenderizing meat also.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Man, where do you live? I'm in Minnesota, and our kiwi have to come from halfway around the globe. $1/lb sounds like a fantasy to me.

I once dated a girl who grew up in Hawaii. She used to mock us mainlanders for buying starfruit. First of all, because she thought they aren't a very good fruit, but second because apparently where she grew up, they were something of a pest plant: they were everywhere and dropped their fruit on the sidewalk and you'd step on them if you weren't careful and it'd make a mess.

It's all perspective, huh?

$1/lb sounds like a fantasy to me.

Man, just wait until you find out that they're actually paying 1/2.2lb, or $0.45/lb

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Less than 2 hrs from the major kiwifruit producing region.

Mid-season, I could drive to an orchard and back before lunch. To buy the fruit even cheaper in bulk.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Nice. Jelly.

Next time try your pineapple with a dash of salt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thank you!!! I was actually going to ask how I could chip away at the roof of my mouth at the same time my fruit eats my tongue.

Jk. Does it make it better?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Pineapple.actively bites you back, so it might not be a mild allergy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Have you tried cooking a pineapple and then eating it and see if you still have symptoms

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Well, I love pizza hawaii...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have read that some people may not actually be allergic to kiwi itself, but to a byproduct of a chemical reaction between the kiwi and a metal spoon. Have you tried eating one without a metal utensil?

[–] leftzero 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why would you need a spoon? It's all edible except the hard bit at one end (which is probably edible too, but too pointy to risk it) and the hairy bit at the other (which is almost certainly edible, but eww, hairy). The skin is where the vitamins are.

Just clean it to remove the insecticides and herbicides and whatnot, and bite chunks off the thing until only those two bits (and quite a lot of juice all over your fingers and mouth) are left...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You mean split it open and eat it like those dudes who eat watermelon competitively, yeah?

[–] leftzero 1 points 2 months ago

No need to split it, just bite into it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Had this too as a kid they made me vomit. Now it's completely gone and I have hayfever

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago

Recently realized the awful hangover I always get drinking cocktails after new years is actually from the shrimp cocktail

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That'll teach you for eating an endangered species.

[–] leftzero 4 points 2 months ago

If they don't want eaten they shouldn't be flightless and taste citrusy. Darwin is a cruel but fair master.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

You shouldn't perform oral sex if this happens to you, but I'm sure it is not related to nationality.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Cannibalism isbwrong!!!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

My partner has this allergy. It has nearly killed them before, and surely will if they eat kiwi fruit again since they don't have an epipen.
