You only get fat if you eat them on a regular basis. As a treat they are great. Especially if you can get them when they are hot. Krispy Kreme lights up a sign when they are selling them fresh out of the oven. I haven't had them that way since college in the 90's, but it's something you never forget! :)

There are no Krispy Kreme donuts here in Spain. I miss them, although my bathroom scale sure doesn't! There was a Krispy Kreme near where I lived in Texas. They made them right there. While in line you could watch the dough rings go up and down on the conveyer as the dough was given time to rise. Then they all get dumped into the hot oil river. When they come out the other side, they go under the waterfall of icing. If we were lucky, an employee would grab one just as it came out from under the waterfall and hand it to us still steaming from the oil river. OMG it was like crack. Addictive. We'd eat the free one then we'd buy another dozen to take with us!

I'm not big on sweets and KK donuts are SWEET x1000, however I can't resist going to get one when I drive by a KK store (to put a bit of perspective on it - I think the last time I passed one was at least 5 years ago) I know full well that they're too sweet, but something about getting one right after it's baked and glazed is irresistible. It's incredibly easy to pass on the boxed ones or even if someone picks them up and brings them to you "fresh" from the KK store. They're only good within like 2 minutes of production lol. Oh, and I fully agree with the panda that said to never get the ones with filling or frosting etc - I can't imagine how anyone can handle that amount of sweet on sweet on sweet

"Make My Stomach Turn Every Time": 35 Non-Americans Roast American Foods They Can't Understand Lobster is not odd in itself, but seeing “lobster mac’n’cheese” was wierd. Where I’m from, lobster is expensive, exclusive, and considered fine dining, and mac’n’cheese does not exist as a dish you can order anywhere. I love pasta, I love cheese, so pasta with cheese is common in my own kitchen, but that is far away from that “fine dining” lobster.

My first time in the states was a trip to NYC. I was pregnant at the time, and that’s probably why I allowed myself to order lobster mac’n’cheese for lunch at a restaurant, against my husbands comments on how it was a shame for the lobster to be served like that ... it was bloody delicious. I still dream about it.

Lobster is a bit less fancy in north America than in Europe. Until last century, it was deemed a poor man's meal, because it was abundant along the east coast and not very healthy (due to poor understanding on how to preserve and cook it). That's why it has been kept in informal recipes like lobster sandwich or the above.

The ancient Incas and Aztecs ground peanuts into a paste. Peanut butter as we now know it was created as a source of protein for people who couldn’t chew meat. That was around 1895. The rest is just peanut butter becoming more popular, and used in more innovative ways. TBH, giving your kids peanut butter and jelly (jam, not Jell-O) sandwiches can be a way to give them some protein (yes, sugar too, depending on the quality of the other ingredients). I’m 62 now, and grew up eating PB&J sandwiches. I turned out alright, normal weight, normal physical, mental, emotional, and intellectual development, so I can say with authority that it’s not detrimental to health and development in children.

I’ve heard this time and again from non-Americans, and have tasted the difference myself. The complaint is that the fruits and veggies and meat are all huge in size, but are tasteless. I discovered the difference abroad when I ate pork chops, and asked my husband if they were off, I was so suprised by the unusual flavor. No, they weren’t off, he replied, that is literally how pork tastes. In America, your pork has no flavor.

Root beer isn’t beer, it’s a soda made from the root of the sassafras tree. Sarsaparilla is too, and tastes similar, but not the same. I remember when we were kids, my friends and I would cut off the more tender twigs of sassafras trees (which I remember as being more like large bushes than trees), strip the bark off, and chew on the pith of the twig. Because it’s the source of the soft drinks, of course it tasted like something between root beer and sarsaparilla.

Cupcakes. I love the idea of having a cute little muffin-like cake, but then you slap ridiculous amounts of sweet cream on top, that is sticky, way too sweet and is of wierd texture. And on top of that, there is often more cream then cake. That's not a good ratio and it starts sticking to your gums. Very difficult to eat and overall not a pleasent experiance.

The thing with this "food" is that's not even food for me. But I'd like to belive it's just things you may get in shops and when you hungry, you simply cooking/buying healthy meal. Deep fried food is good, but maybe once a month? Same with pizza/hamburger. Or anything that contains unhealthy amounts of salt, sugar or fat. But... I live in the middle of Europe and my national cuisine is also gross. I barely ever eat anything of that. It's full of fat and carbs. Also chocolate in my country is bad, too. I buy german chocolate, waaaay better.
