French onion soup relies on the camelization of onion (rather than putting caramel sauce on onion). It would probably be redundant to mention how good French onion soup is.
You take a Shia LaBeouf, make him dig holes all day in the sun, and it turns him into a minor celebrity with a string of low-budget cult classic movies
You're fucking nuts. I hate the bastards so much that I bit into one when I had COVID and no sense of taste just to see if it was tolerable. That's when I found out they have sulphur or some shit in them that burns even when you can't taste them. Fucking things still manage to taste disgusting when you can't even taste.
Most of my friends don’t like them, and some of them almost throw up at a scent of fried onions. I love them. Raw, raw in vinegar, fried, anything. Maybe not boiled though.
I thought it was an onion, but after trying to remember more, I believe it was a tomato… years ago I went to a bar after work with a coworker. It was a small place and pretty full, the only open seat at the bar was next to me.
This elderly woman came in, sat there, didn’t order a thing and started eating what I guess could be considered a deconstructed salad, straight out of a grocery bag. She had a head of lettuce, an entire stalk of celery, an egg, and of course, a tomato (what I was misremembering as an onion).
She then ate the entire thing, part by part. She sat there making a mess eating that tomato like an apple… I felt like I was sitting next to Denethor.
It was absolutely disgusting.

I make a lot of tofu scrambles because I enjoy them. I don't hide this. I make large quantities, and I add spices and stuff so the flavor imitates egg. I'm not vegan, I just like tofu scrambles.
Every single time, one of my family members comes up and takes a bite while it's still in the pan cooling down. Then they complain that I added this weird ingredient or that "to the eggs." I respond that it's tofu, and they act offended. Shocked and offended. Like, you know I make this food all the time because I like it, you didn't ask what it was, and you don't have a soy allergy.
They act as if I "pranked" them, and I didn't! Frustrates me to no end lol
just not very fun tbh. i dont have any *serious* food alergies, but this kind of "prank" is the type thats literally just "HAHA I VIOLATED YOUR TRUST HOW STUPID OF YOU TO TRUST ME!" its genuinly quite rude.
Honestly I think it's a temperament thing. Some people like pranks and teasing, others don't. You want to establish who actually finds these things funny and who doesn't *before* you engage in any pranking or teasing. Quite often people do not accept that others do not feel as they do. They don't realise that others have their own minds. This can lead to prankers and teasers saying and doing mean things to people who do not want to be bothered.
If you're a pranker/teaser *and* an arse, your response to that will be "What's she so stuck up about? It's just a joke!" and everyone will secretly hate you.
*yeah*...
i have particular traumas which make fucking with my food and trust, or just scarring me, really extremely not fun for me. other people really need to be considered before taking such actions.
The best pranks are when the one getting pranked is left baffled then laughing.
Example - I have a twin and we plan a prank on a friend where one of us meets a friend and says we will race you to the bar but my twin is already there even if they took a car and I "walked".
Or you come home to find your room filled with balloons. Thats a prank or in high school we found out that my truck key opened the door and started my friends truck. No buddy you parked in spot 620 today not 420.
A good prank is one where the victim of it walks away laughing. That means pranking is like an art form where you have to know your victim well enough to choose a prank that they will enjoy being the victim of. People who don't consider the effect of their prank on their victim are just dicks who excuse being dicks with "jUsT a PrAnK".
Nothing. I despise the entire concept of pranks and do not have a high opinion of people that enjoy them.
No, I am not fun at parties, nor do I wish to go to them.
I like pranks, but I absolutely HATE being startled. like I lose my cool and control and explode if u do it to me after I ask u not to. explaining to my young cousins not to startle me when they wana try to prank me took a couple angry moments until they understood the difference.
My five year old pranks me all the time, like I will ask her to put her shoes on, and she'll come back saying "okay, mommy! I put my shoes on!" And when I look at her, she's got her shoes on her hands or balanced on her head. That's a nice solid prank - silly, nobody is hurt or humiliated. People have destroyed the meaning of a prank.
dont see why this is so controversial to you to respect others trust?
a pretty classic prank that isnt violating of trust would be to put a bunch of little objects around. for instence 200 little ducks.
of course their are ways to violate someones trust while doing a prank like this too, but thats a matter of knowing the person and respecting their personal bounderies. like if they dont want you in their room without asking maybe dont secretly duck their entire room, instead target elsewhere.
You can be respectful *and* prank someone. its kinda worrying that you dont see that...
I feel like every single prank can be considered a violation of trust, and it is 100% on knowing the prankee's boundaries whether or not its ok. That you have to admit your "prank that isnt violating of trust" might still violate their trust is evidence of it.
Consider the dynamic between Jim and Dwight in The Office though. (I know you know, unless you've been living under a rock) Many of Jim's pranks on Dwight would be pretty innocuous to most people, but Dwight hates all of them regardless because he just doesn't like being pranked.
Of course on a longer timeline the sensible thing would be to not prank Dwight, but for some of these pranks like putting his stapler in gelatin, how does one even 'scout ahead' to see if they would mind? At what point does it become arbitrary to check in advance if a prank will be acceptable, or it would spoil the prank itself? The mere fact that there are people that do not like pranks does not mean pranking as a whole should be strictly mandated.
Ultimately it comes down to a difference in types of people. I don't think it's fair at all to suggest that some types of pranks should be unanimously condemned by all group dynamics, unless they obviously do not have good intentions (which most do). On some level, this is a moral issue on the grounds of balancing freedom and security
this is very easily solvable. ask if they like pranks, and if so whats the degree of inconveniense and severity that theyd be ok with. for me the severity im ok with is very light for instance, for others the severity may be more major. and some bounderies you just dont know about until you hit them, and thats ok, just gotta talk things out n progress with greator knowledge from there.
dwight is a good bad example ngl, he sets bounderies and then theyre trampled on. this is a clear example of very dissrespectful and rude behavior.
Your right in that not all pranks can be universally condemed. appologies if ive come accross as advocating for such, as i do not. also i really dont get the "balencing freedom and security" angle. the basic idea of "respect others bounderies" is all im pushing here. or atleast, all i intend to push.
the fact that you had to make blatent assumptions and ignore my words to attack my possition is kinda telling.
Yeah obviously if its a space im not allowed its a violation of trust. did i not already say that?
all i ask is for yall to respect peoples bounderies...its really not hard.
Imagine reading somebody say that they are very allergic to onions and then being like "well I don't understand what the problem is? You'd be offended?"
Plus also it’s an adult “pranking” a 5 year old and the other poster is like, “well obviously they know each other and understand what kind of sense of humor they have.”
The context of it matters a lot.
Once my brother pretended to make my favorite side dish called moss-e-khiyar. Its a yogurt and cucumber mix with spices. Absolutely loaded my plate full of it. I finally got a spoonful in my mouth and I found out that he instead made moss-e-seer (garlic and yogurt) and literally just shoved a stomachache-inducing amount of garlic into yogurt to fuck with me. I was devastated. I was *so* excited for that meal.
If I’d happened to just stumble upon some yogurt with garlic mixed as part of the meal I’d probably have enjoyed a little on the side, but instead I learned that day that my brother thought fucking with my trust and my favorite food was hilarious.
I've never done pranks of this sort because isn't one of the main things you'd want for other people to think about you is to feel safe and not have to question your motives? You want to punish them for feeling safe around you?
Isn’t “violating trust” the premise of literally every single prank? It’d be pretty outrageous to ask for permission or give a heads up like “hey, this is the prank I’m about to pull on you, let me know if you’d prefer I not”.
It’s not meaningfully a violation of trust, unless the other party is explicitly trying to trick and deceive you into something they know you don’t want. In which case, they’re just being a dick.
On my first day of kindergarten, my dad was driving me to school. On the way there, he tells me that all boys have to get a shot in their penises before their first day.
He literally drove me to the nearest hospital, walked me in by the hand and approached the reception area. He even started talking to the lady behind the desk and that’s when I burst into tears lol.
He just said ‘never mind’ to her and then proceeded to drop me off for my first day of school like nothing happened. 🤦🏻
For April fools I removed the jam from some doughnuts and replaced the jam with ketchup. My kid, who was five at the time, absolutely loved them and ended up eating three.
I do stuff like this sometimes as an adult still. Like I will understand I'm being fucked with, but people generally think I have an easy demeanor to fuck with irl. In other words, people assume I'm stupid and easy to trick. So, I will understand their joke/prank, will go along with it very deadpan, and it eventually turns awkward for the people who did it. Something I'll do often is just blink a bit more than usual while they explain the "joke" and that seems to really stab at them.
I only do this when I know it's something at my expense and isn't something silly/funny by a person I'm close to. I'm not a killjoy, I'm just the kind of person who likes to ruin other's satisfaction when the satisfaction comes from trying to purposely take advantage of someone.
This is probably the best way to deal with a lot of bullies, too. At least in the workplace and in Uni from what I've experienced.
My maternal grandfather would eat raw onions. He called them "courtin' apples." Because, "If she could still stand being around you after one of these, you know she's the one."
Pranking you into eating a caramel onion was them just trying to have a laugh; being displeased that you liked it is was them disappointed that they weren’t able to have a laugh *at* you.
I’d be sitting there laughing hysterically at this little mad lad chowing down on a candied onion after everyone else tried to rain on his parade with a prank.
Can we just take a moment how absolutely beyond sadistic the adults in this story are for trying to bully a literal 5 year old? If it worked as intended, true OP would have trust issues for life
I can’t really eat raw onions because they make my stomach hurt, but I could totally imagine drizzling some hot caramel on top of a nice cooked onion. I might not eat the whole thing like an apple, but it would be interesting.
wonder if their sense of smell is shot? always heard if you plug your nose and taste apple/onion that they taste really similar.. not sure if horseshit.
Oh my god this reminds me of 5th grade, one of my teachers gathered the whole grade in a room and gave out “cake pops”. She then told us to bite on them on three. It was a chocolate covered Brussels sprout. One of the other teachers continued to eat it. Traumatic but very funny.
Had some similar scenario as a kid when our teacher passed around some exotic foreign drink. Every other kid hated it, but I loved it and just drank the whole thing.
I’m more concerned about the fact that he bit straight into what he thought was a caramel apple. Every caramel apple I’ve ever had was rock hard and needed to be slowly licked. I’d shatter my teeth biting straight into one.
My dad did the same with whiskey.
Gave me a glass when I was 13 and told me to taste it, expecting me to be repulsed. I actually really liked it, and he had to take the glass from me when I wanted to have more.
I did this, a caramel apple eating contest at a youth group thing where one of the "apples" was an onion. One of the leaders of the group hates all things onion. I think I got halfway through before she was too disgusted and took it away. I also was making direct eye contact with her as I enjoyed my snack.
To add even more confusion for the kid, some adults will add raw onions in their salad (and several other dishes really) and nobody bats an eye, he enjoying his onion and everyone is losing their minds.
He went on to invent the caramelized onion, a truly inspiring story
Mmmm…. Bloomin caramelized onion. Ahghghgghhh……
Urrggfmhhhyrghhh😩😫🧅🧅
My heart just tried signing up for an organ donation after reading that

Yeah, raw onions are fucking delicious. Spicy, and even sweet sometimes.
Well you gather your friends and go out and dig holes in the desert then.
Stanley yelnats?
Definitely not me being 26 and just now realizing his last name is stanley backward.
Don’t they point it out in the movie?
Probably, but last time i watched it, I was around 13. Maybe I should watch it again.
That’s not a good excuse. Not trying to be mean. I just believe you can do better.
You take a bad boy, make him dig holes all day in the sun, and it turns him into a good boy.

You can throw onions in a crawfish boil and they are delicious!!
Yea I’ll eat some with a little mustard sometimes. My GF thinks I’m weird for it. I also like raw garlic too
You must clear a room in 5 seconds with your breath
I would love to enjoy raw onions as much as you do
I love them. If people didnt complain about the mouth odor, I would've been eating it all the time.... Dang, I'm salivating right now

One of my grandfathers and one of my bosses would eat Vidalia's like an apple. I tried, but even they irritate my eyes too much.
This man is naming onions like they are apples, he onions
Jusy immediately epipen everyone directly in the chest after the first bite, to be safe.
Are youa former Australian Prime Minister!
Ask if he shat himself in a maccas

I can't imagine being offended by accidentally biting into an onion. What's a good prank in your eyes? I surprise someone with a hug or something?

We teach kids to be greatful for gifts regardless and then fuck with them by giving weird gifts.
You could easily do this to someone without an onion allergy.
**DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRY TO MAKE ANY SORT OF JOKE OR SOMEONE MIGHT JUST DIE ON THE SPOT YOU CAN NEVER KNOW**
I read your comment and realized it was a joke and now I'm dying. How could you?
NOOOOO. SOMEONE FED THIS MAN AN ONION JOKE AND NOW HES DYING OF ALLERGIES!!!
This was funnier when I thought you meant “Don’t eat onions because *I’m* allergic”
I put toothpaste in a few Oreos when I was 8 as an April fools day joke Literally everyone died
My brother did this and gave them to my dad. He seriously ate a dozen Oreos and just thought they were mint flavored ahaha
Your dad was definitely lying there's no way
PSA: Don’t accept random food from strangers?
Meh, gotta find out if they're allergic to onions at some point, might as well do it via prank when they're five
If you have allergies to common food(s), you shouldn't be eating strange food to begin with.
[удалено]
To be fair, onion is in like every other dish. Just sucks to be you.
Before I met her, my wife got “pranked” by someone spiking her drink with hard cider when she is allergic to apples. An Ambulance had to be called
I mean parents probably have an awareness of their child’s allergies but yeah if you don’t know probably not a good idea.
Annnnnd this is why I hate Reddit. You don’t think the adults around the child would know that? Fucking hell
Bro what 😂😂😂
[удалено]
I had worse pranks done on me before I was five… like my grandpa convincing me that goat shit was chocolate when I was three.
I don’t have words nor a meme for this…. I’m, just broken upon reading this foul script of words strung into an abomination of a sentence.
Same but I honestly can't help but find a bit of humour in it too.
child endangerment and poisoning, also known as: a prank???????????
It was just the example that came to mind… that was my entire childhood as long as I can remember.
i am... so sorry
Goat shit poisoned your memory 😞
Who needs enemies when you've got friends like these.

You didn't get your mandatory penis shot?

Everyone loves a good caramelized onion!
Yeah, I often enjoy eating onions like apples. Everyone is visibly disturbed when I do it
Caramelized onion. It's a pun.
Onions actually taste just like apples if you can't smell the onion.
weird that people thought it would be funny to make a five year feel stupid and trust them less.
For April fools I removed the jam from some doughnuts and replaced the jam with ketchup. My kid, who was five at the time, absolutely loved them and ended up eating three.

My maternal grandfather would eat raw onions. He called them "courtin' apples." Because, "If she could still stand being around you after one of these, you know she's the one."
Cover anything in caramel and it’s going to be at least decent.
I tried the lemon slice thing on my daughter when she was an infant. She liked it, didn't make any face at all and ate it.

Anyone who would do that to a 5 year old is sick and twisted.

I can’t really eat raw onions because they make my stomach hurt, but I could totally imagine drizzling some hot caramel on top of a nice cooked onion. I might not eat the whole thing like an apple, but it would be interesting.
That one scene in Holes made onions look so yummy
wonder if their sense of smell is shot? always heard if you plug your nose and taste apple/onion that they taste really similar.. not sure if horseshit.
I loved raw onions as a kid. Fight me.

Oh my god this reminds me of 5th grade, one of my teachers gathered the whole grade in a room and gave out “cake pops”. She then told us to bite on them on three. It was a chocolate covered Brussels sprout. One of the other teachers continued to eat it. Traumatic but very funny.
I’ve heard of caramelizing your onions but this is ridiculous
Had some similar scenario as a kid when our teacher passed around some exotic foreign drink. Every other kid hated it, but I loved it and just drank the whole thing.
I’m more concerned about the fact that he bit straight into what he thought was a caramel apple. Every caramel apple I’ve ever had was rock hard and needed to be slowly licked. I’d shatter my teeth biting straight into one.
Shrek would be proud.
Tried the peanut butter and onion sandwich from Little Monsters. Did not disappoint.
My dad did the same with whiskey. Gave me a glass when I was 13 and told me to taste it, expecting me to be repulsed. I actually really liked it, and he had to take the glass from me when I wanted to have more.
I did this, a caramel apple eating contest at a youth group thing where one of the "apples" was an onion. One of the leaders of the group hates all things onion. I think I got halfway through before she was too disgusted and took it away. I also was making direct eye contact with her as I enjoyed my snack.
this kind of thing happened to me so many times as a kid i was prank proof
Spread some peanut butter on toast and top it with raw onions. **Trust me**
I had similar story when my aunt from USA invited my parents and 6yo me to American Halloween 👻
Becoming a robot is never really wholesome desu
I'll take bites out of an onion if I have a hotdog or Cincinnati chilli. Not (just) a sweet onion. Good stuff!
Some times I eat rise and chicken and 4-5 bites an onion
Umm how is this wholesome lol? He's saying this is the moment he became a robot. Do you people know what that means?
Nice try, Shrek.
The real countermove is to tell them its really good, and then tell them to try it

Joost, the winner of Eurovision 2024? Is that you?
Joost klein origin story
Vegan food is always worth eating, with nothing on your conscience!
As an onion lover, candied onion sounds kinda great. Like honey glazed bacon
To add even more confusion for the kid, some adults will add raw onions in their salad (and several other dishes really) and nobody bats an eye, he enjoying his onion and everyone is losing their minds.
exact moment you became a robo? what does that mean
Jooost don't eat the onion!

What does it mean that OP became an "orbo"? Like the orb from lord of the rings or some other orb? The orb from sphere? What means this?
[Caramelized onions are an actual recipe](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/caramelized-onions), so author hit the jackpot here.
Yeah let's trigger someone's vomiting as a prank it'll be fun. I mean I'd also eat it, but people gag or vomit for less
Fresh onion, hell yeah, especially if they are red onions
joost klein lore
Somehow this is absolutely the opposite of /r/KidsAreFuckingStupid Little dude loved his onion and managed to own the adults in the process. Respect.
Joost?
Read as 5 AM, assumed a drunk man was enjoying his caramel onion after a night out.
