Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.
Right now, here’s the rules:
- Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
- It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
- No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.
How to tag:
To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz
Here are the current tags:
- Edited - The image was manipulated with editing software.
- OC - You made this cursed food yourself!
- Meta - Relating to the community itself.
Finished checking out all the posts here? Also checkout !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca!
(BTW, I’m looking for someone to help mod here! I myself would not be enough if this community goes beyond a few posts a day.)

Yeah, I remembered the PB sugar content wrong (I guess I was flabberghasted that they even added sugar in some PBs).
Yeah, to keep it from separating they remove some of the sugar and oil and replace it with ones that don't separate so much. Molasses is a popular choice since it's got the "liquid" consistency you need and no negative marketing connotations like hfcs does.
It's one of the only cases I can think of where sugar isn't being added to adjust the flavor, but for it's chemical properties.
You can even do it at home. Blend peanuts, let it separate and pour off the oil, and add shortening and a splash of molasses. Maybe some salt to bring out the flavor. Reblend.
