They're cupcakes dude. I think you just dislike cupcakes.

>>12229441
This, they're just pure sugar. Hard to fuck it up really

>>12229441
No he’s right. They are utterly joyless and unsatisfying. Just the worst version of themselves.

I will add frozen meatballs. Often terrible with the odor of a burp. No soul or love goes into them and sometimes they even taste like what they are fortified with (wheat germ??)

>>12229431
Saffron, a lot of people just can't taste it.
Another is cilantro which some people think tastes like soap, apparently that's a genetic deficiency.

>>12229441
Those "things" aren't cupcakes

No, it's true. I worked in a WalMart "Bakery" for years, only thing we baked was the french rolls. Those cupcakes come premade in a box of 75 and in a bag all together. We thaw them out in the fridge then someone slaps buttercream from a tub on them, hits them with an airbrush, and then we bag and tag them. Onto the shelf they go. Not an ounce of flavor, care, or effort goes into them because you have to make 20 or 30 at at time and part of them go into a fridge, just waiting to be put out. Longest we had a pack of them in the fridge was 2 months. Some mexican family bought them when we put them out.

If someone makes cupcakes from a box mix, they taste 100 times better than these.

I swear grocery store all have one material they make all their shitty cupcakes and cookies out of. It all has the weird plastic smell and taste. It tastes plastic. I swear people just buy them as holiday decorations. They sell because office parties exist and people don't actually care enough to make a trip outside the grocery store. I'll take a Dunkin Donut over these anyday.

The taste is: "These are physically consumable items"

A cupcake should taste like... fucking cake basically.

>>12229431
I love cupcakes!

Cupakes! So sweet and tasty! Cupcakes, don't be too hasty! Cupcakes! Cupcakes cupcakes cupcakes!

>>12229483
How well do they sell? I swear I only see them served at “mandatory fun” events at work twice a year.

I honestly love the taste of souless bakery food. Cupcakes, cookies, donuts, and sheet cake. The emptiness I feel when I eat it reminds me of myself.

>>12229431
Publixs are decent. Going to an actual cupcake place is best.

>>12229719
Publix cookies are the bomb

Completely inedible

>>12229483
How do they ice them so uniformly? Is it a special machine?

>>12229587
We are one adn the same

>They're cupcakes dude. I think you just dislike cupcakes.

Nah, have you ever had these grocery store cupcakes? They somehow jam 2x the amount of sugar in the cake and 3x the amount in the frosting

Now suarez bakery down on park road...Those motherfuckers make some cupcakes.

Those walmart cupcakes always leave this weird bitter, chemical-like aftertaste in my mouth, especially in the gobs of saccharine frosting on top. I think that's why the frosting is so over-the-top sugary, an attempt to hide that bitterness.

>>12229872
The irony is the bitterness probably comes from the sweeteners because too much sweetener can make things taste bitter instead.

They burn.

Those cupcakes are manna from heaven compared to these dry, sickly sweet yet bland abortions. Fuck these cookies and everyone who buys them.

those cookies that are the cookie equivalent of OPs cupcakes

Grocery store cupcakes, or cakes in general, are why I think a lot of people aren't cake fans. Good cakes are great, but the cheap shit is absolutely revolting. Its just one note, and that note is cloyingly, grossly sweet. At least with other cheap supermarket bakery crap like cookies or pies they still taste a bit like they're supposed to.

>>12229760
Gee, you sure swayed me with that hot opinion.

>>12229893

>>12229893
yeah i don't think i've ever enjoyed eating these dollops of shite

>>12229916

>>12229909
>>12229920

>>12229893
I actually kind of know guy who invented those. He had shit taste. Old okie chemist who figured out a reaction that helped make shitty cookies. He's the (great?) grandpa of a high school friend.

>>12229893
Those seriously are awful.
>>12229929
That's some pretty impressive chemistry to make a cookie so thoroughly unpleasant

The frosting on grocery store cakes is always fucking shit. It tastes like sugary wax, and leaves a thick coating of grease in your mouth.
That "buttercream" is just hydrogenated oils.

plain cheetos

>>12229893
The "Lazy Co-Worker at a Potluck" Special. Utter trash.

>>12229892

I've been eating a slice of this insanely sweet birthday cake each day ever since I got it, I couldn't finish such thin slices at first but now they don't taste as sweet.
Americans are just so used the sweetness of their desserts that they don't notice they're so goddamn sweet

>Made On: $5.99
From what universe did this spawn from?

>>12229908
This can’t be real right? I feel like trying this but I have a feeling this is bait and I’ll get something like the banana sludge in banana bread

>>12230030
>$5.99
Not for that kind of price, I can get one decent nori one for the equivalent of $2.50 where I live

>>12229794
read another book

>>12230048
that sushi waffle wasn’t designed for you
it was intended for middle america karens who ate feeling adventurous

>>12229444
I've been to supermarkets that fuck up cake and cupcakes. The chocolate always has this off flavor and carrot cake tasted like plastic.

>muh Americans
>muh sweet is bad

>>12230080
It’s an adventurous concept to be fair

based cookies making faggots seeth

>>12230341
Hey, I made you a slab of high fructose flour and Crisco, then dipped it in a vat of melted fat and sugar. You can eat them when you run out of vile supermarket frosted sugar cookies!

>>12230363

>>12229893
I love these. Not hard and over sugared like most trash ass cookies. The only ones that compare are oatmeal raisin. Cookies are shit in general.

>>12230048
If you eat 2.50 sushi you’re eating trash. Just saying.

>>12230404
>Oatmeal raisin
I agree that supermarket frosted sugar cookies are alright, but oatmeal raisin is disgusting.

>>12230404
>Cookies are shit in general.
Store-bought, I'll grant, but anything you make at home is probably going to be alright since it isn't some dried-out preservative fucked cretinous creation.

>>12229431
I don't understand the kind of peron that buys these. A box mix would taste 1000x better.

>>12229431
These are disgusting and I love them.

>>12229431
Ew that looks dsgusting.

>>12229431
Me, I like pasteurized imitation cheddar-style dairy product

>>12230030
Finally some good fuckin food

>>12230408
What’s your price range for sushi then? I don’t usually spend >$20 for sushi. I go close to 20 on shit-tons of cheap conveyor belt sushi adding up

>>12230341
mate i can't cook shit, if i were to waste money on cookies id just get some chips ahoy, they're unironically better
