As a French, the fact that no white flag was mentioned in these comments like it would have inevitably on reddit shows the quality of the chaps in here.

France has shown themself to be made of much sterner stuff in the last couple decades then the stereotypes and jokes like to make out. I mean that's not going to stop the English from making fun of France, but they still have nobility like this was 1650 or something.

Last couple decades? There historically the most winningest military of all time bar none.

The French have always been pretty strong. I don't know what history you read, but they've pretty consistently had one of the strongest militaries in the world. Sure, they surrendered quickly on WWII, but the people kept fighting even then when their government was occupied. They were one of the first nations to aid the United States also and have always been pretty active.

Is this all good? Idk. Besides resisting the Nazis after the occupation, I would very much argue much of this is bad (or at best self-serving). It's nation-state shit. It's never out of marality. They're strong though.

The English were assroped by the French Normans that they had to rename many common foodstuffs.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité. The Americans learned it from you lot. Might do them well to remember.

Wasn't the American revolution like a decade before the French one?

You sure wouldn't hear that from me. French forces have been badass for a long time.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

I don't really care about glorifying past military victories but rather about the fact that the white flag internet meme appeared when the French government refused to follow the USA into Irak War II. https://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/07/villepin.transcript/

Y'all fight in the streets better than us. We've got no leg to stand on.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Fun fact: the white flag of surrender became widely known in Europe because people were surrendering to the French.

FROZEN DAIRY DESSERT

Yum, I love air, gums, and stabilizers in my dairy desserts

[-] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago

I'm fine with the air part. There's air in all kinds of whipped desserts.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

depends whether the price reflects it or it's an attempt to trick you into paying more for less

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Personally, I care more about the volume of ice cream I eat than the mass. I don't want to pay more for more calories when diminishing marginal utility is already in effect.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

All ice creams have air in them… it’s sort of the point. If you freeze dairy without whipping it it turns solid.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Yep, screw Breyer’s. They legally cannot call it ice cream.

Something about the colors makes me feel like this ice cream is full of TRANS fats.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago

I just really need to point out that no where on this product is it called ice cream. It's a frozen dairy product.

It really bothers me that they're allowed to slap whatever bullshit in an ice cream container, and as long as it's called anything else in the fine print, the fact that we all assume it's ice cream is on US.

Blaming the person being lied to instead of the liar is kind of BS.

It's on the company and the FDA which was literally created to stop this kind of nonsense and abandonded its duties decades ago.

I can't ever remember if Breyers or Dreyers is the shitty one, so I always just buy Tillamook or Blue Bell.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Breyers is the shitty one, you can tell because they can't legally call it "Ice Cream". It is a "Frozen Dairy Dessert" as you can see on the packaging.
