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.

(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.)

Most applesauce is apples, water and vitamin C. Some have some sugar.
Even the worst store brand applesauce I could find an ingredient label for was just apples, sugar, vitamin C. Not entirely sure what you were trying to imply about applesauce?
I just imagined the added sugar would be very high.
Fair point, but it’s the Whole Foods brand unsweetened applesauce. We also don’t serve the pouches and this is a controlled food served with planned meals, not something that our kid is sucking down multiple times a day.
:) some brands it might be, but apples are pretty sweet on their own so most don't even bother adding much if any.
Adding none can work as advertising, and adding a gram or so can help keep the apple solids from separating, which makes people like the texture more, so it's a trade off.
We've gotten, and continue to get, way better about not making staple childrens food absolute garbage since the whole wave of childhood obesity thing was noticed.
It used to be terrible since the kids would ask for whichever was sweetest. Parents have actually started looking now so it's calmed down a bit.
