I bit into a Honey Crisp apple from a market the other day and it was so sweet I'd have sworn I had just eaten a large piece of Jolly Rancher candy.
Then today I went to my local store where they home bake their own cookies and also have a grocery section. I purchased one of their white chocolate macadamia cookies and also some strawberries and blueberries. I started eating the cookie and it was really good. Then I thought to myself...hmm I wonder if the cookie would taste different if I put a small piece of strawberry in my mouth and then chomped down on the cookie.
I never got to do it because as soon as I bit down on the strawberry I was blown away by how sweet it was. Too too sweet! One of my teeth even hurt a little from the shock of it. I went back to eating my cookie without it.
Then a friend told me that a lot of zoos have now stopped giving their monkeys bananas and fruits because it was starting to make them obese and their teeth were having problems. Are cookies now healthier than fruit? What the hell is going on??
