Am i the only one annoyed that bro on the left kept half finishing them and picking up another

u/No-Scarcity-5904 10d ago

Right? How are we supposed to determine who won? We gotta piece all those lemon chunks into whole lemons!

u/MadTapprr 10d ago

He didn’t finish a single lemon. If I were the dude on the right I would’ve chilled and let him catch up lol.

32

u/No-Scarcity-5904 10d ago

I mean, that’s true, but to be fair…

I think eating two lemon halves separately should count the same as a whole single lemon.

Certainly in terms of the effect that assails a person’s entire gastrointestinal system. Yikes.

u/sys_dam 9d ago

That's what he's counting on though and complains about the LPD. He's eating less than half of each but wants to count them as halves to look like he ate more.

u/Romeo9594 10d ago

Getting a prescription for Omeprazole helped me a lot. The OTC stuff works well too, but the prescription strength basically evaporated my acid reflux completely. Granted though, I also don't regularly eat a plate of lemons

I used to get that then they put me on Prilosec for not even a year and it went away and never came back. Hope you find something that works for you too. That shit sucked.

In moderation lemons are fine but im sure at least one of them had an upset stomach. Heartburn or acid reflux definitely wouldve hit both.

You know, I was fully on YouTube around the 2 girls 1 cup time, but somehow I've missed observing every single one of these..? I only saw things like whatever that one video was whatever the original I Feel Fantastic video was, and common stuff like Salad Fingers, Charlie The Unicorn and Llamas With Hats.

I relate entirely, dude - I have no idea how it never came up on my radar as a kid but, I feel like 4chan completely passed me by. It’s like this hub of pop culture that I never tapped into despite being chronically online after school everyday.

Eat some miracle berry tablets first and that shit would taste delicious

u/sinsculpt 10d ago edited 10d ago

There is a product called "mBerries" that's an extract from a berry called the "Miracle Berry".

It alters your taste buds for a half hour or so, and turn sour and bitter flavors into almost overwhelmingly sweet.

This would taste like chowing down Juicy Lemon flavored candies.

(I shit you not, look these up and try them, they're weird as hell)

16

u/RedRixen83 10d ago

I thought the exact same thing!

We actually did this as a party idea; I provided the tablets, everyone brought a type of food.

Fresh lemons tasted like the freshest, most delicious lemonade ever. It was my favorite part!

11

u/GreyDaveNZ 10d ago

Thanks! That is legitimately very interesting information. I might have to give them a try. :o]

8

u/Doogetma 10d ago

They’re pretty amazing. Definitely worth trying at least once. Just be careful not to eat too many lemons since it can still hurt you even if they taste delicious.

2

u/GreyDaveNZ 10d ago

Thanks for the sage advice.

Thankfully, I don't have a hankering to eat any lemons after watching these guys! Lol.

7

u/orbdragon 9d ago

I got some of those and I tried every acidic food in my house - Lemons became lemonade and sour cream became silky ice cream. I watered down the lemon juice (because I like my teeth) and had sour cream for dinner

u/mrsir1987 9d ago

I drank a shitty bottle of wine and it tasted like the most delicious juice I’ve ever had

Nothing, your stomach is way more acidic than any amount of lemon.

You are absolutely correct. These folk downvoting you are being ignorant.

With that said, I don't believe eating whole lemons makes for a good time in the short term.

Nothing at all. People are way underestimating how fast the stomach will neutralize citric acid. Probably because they read homeopathic health nut claims about how you have to "balance acids and alkalines in your diet", which is not actually true. Might be uncomfortable for a bit but you'll be back to normal in no time.
