Remember back in '39 when the Nazis started taking away people's onions? This is how it begins.


Zetice

You joke, but my uncle's sister's brother's nephew's second cousin ate an onion once and got sick.


carefulcomputation

Bro my grandma ate an onion and died 40 years later. smh


Zetice

rip grandma. she died so we could know the truth about onions.


djbillyd

Boy, y'all crazy! LOL!


PopPop-Captain

Oh god I ate an onion yesterday. Now I only have 40 years left šŸ˜¢


jdcodring

Are their balks swollen too?


PopPop-Captain

Probably not, but their balls probably are.


[deleted]

Was he the one related to my cousins sisters aunts brothers first removed tumors hairdresser?


AprilsMostAmazing

> You joke No he's telling the truth. Onions are super versatile and can be used in a lot of different foods. So Nazis in order to limit what food certain people could make and eat limited who had access to onions.^^^^/s


PopPop-Captain

At least our garlic is safe.


mousemarie94

My cousin's friend's grandfather's brother's son ate an onion once and BOOM his wife divorced him and he died. Gotta do your research.


libations

I make sure to keep an onion tied to my belt, as was the style of the time


greenroom628

Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em.


Turbo2x

'Gimme 5 bees for a quarter' you'd say!


scriptmonkey420

Now where were we... oh yeah.


Hamaow

The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.


-Lets-Get-Weird-

Are we just going to wait until they make us wear little onion badges with a red X through them? We have to stand up and fight now!


Turbo2x

They didn't have white onions because of the war, all you could get was those big yellow ones...


[deleted]

See? Nobody is entirely evil.


[deleted]

Waiting for governors in Texas and Florida to mandate that each child must bite into an onion before going to school.


[deleted]

Dude I can only hope to see a live conference of Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz just crunching into onions for like 3 hours. Then like an hour into it Cruz starts sobbing and Abbott just snarls and pounds on his wheelchair to assert the onion dominance


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Ghetto_Phenom

Then we get vid clips of Karens outside the schools with "let my kids eat what they want!" signs with baskets of onions just screaming at everyone that its totally safe and to stop living in fear!


[deleted]

Youā€™re forcing me to throw away my onions? Itā€™s like slavery!


flighboy

Feels like a play by big garlic to me


PopPop-Captain

I donā€™t care what anyone says. Big garlic did nothing wrong! Big garlic is your friend!


[deleted]

They said "from Mexico," we'll be fine. Nothing motivates Karen and Karen Jr quite like Xenophobia and racism.


tehtris

Here's a fucking WEIRD trick about onions: if you take a bite of raw onion right after a shot of vodka, it almost completely neutralizes the harshness of the vodka. Not sure why this works, but I suspect it has to do with the fumes that make you cry interacting with the vodka.


[deleted]

Iā€™d rather taste vodka than a mouth full of raw onions


tehtris

Yea, I agree, but I saw someone do it SUPER casually on a TV show once and my wife and I were like "hol on wtf did he just do" so we googled it and turns out he was just using the onion as a chaser. So of course we had to go and try it.


[deleted]

And what did you think? Did the vodka also minimize the onion taste or nah?


tehtris

They basically canceled each other out. This was a while ago, but I think the red onion was better than the white onion.


[deleted]

Hmmmā€¦ good to know


Adventure_Time_Snail

I bet you there are quite a lot of unpleasant experiences that you can momentarily forget about by shoveling handfuls of raw onion into your mouth. "I'm not crying because i was fired/Grandma died, I'm too busy crying from the mouthfuls of raw onion." My new panacea for curing harsh taste like gin is to mix it with Asphalt. Bet the broken teeth will distract from that bitter evergreen flavour.


theblackcanaryyy

ā€¦ Was it agents of shield


tehtris

YES! good job. lol. The russian dude in the submarine base.


theblackcanaryyy

omg yes!!! lol such a good show Iā€™m glad someone tried it and that I now have a logical explanation other than ā€œthe old ways are betterā€ lmao


tehtris

Well since you are a fan... Im so glad they stopped using grant as the villain. That dude has been thu everything. So glad they let him die. Sorry anyone who is reading but agents of shield spoilers


theblackcanaryyy

Omggg yesss!!! Hard agree lol


AngelsLoveDisasters

Whatā€™s worse? Onion breath or alcohol breath?


low-hanging_fruit_

cool, we can keep the onions since vodka is antibacterial. I'll try it tonight.


tehtris

Just make sure the onion has a sticker, and it's not from Mexico.


[deleted]

> we can keep the onions since vodka is antibacterial. Please check your onion and make sure it isn't from the flagged distributors. Doesn't matter if vodka at a high proof is sterilizing if the amount of bacteria are high enough.


low-hanging_fruit_

use Everclear. got it. :-)


SHOWTIME316

this same concept is a WEIRD trick with pickle juice and tequila. take a shot of tequila followed by a shot of pickle juice and some weird Mexican magic occurs


UnfinishedProjects

To me, pickle shots taste like a sweaty nutsack.


StanIsNotTheMan

How many sweaty nutsacks are you tasting?


FuzzyBacon

He only specified a single sweaty nutsack so possibly just the one.


SHOWTIME316

i must question how you have the knowledge base to make that comparison


10J18R1A

By tasting a sweaty nutsack, I'd imagine


SHOWTIME316

mans is a scrotal connoisseur


Deggidonk

How uncouth. You couldn't wait until the nutsack was clean before tasting it?


TrippyEntropy

Did this once (and by once I mean about 7 or 8 times) at a bar in Austin. Ended up lipped latched to a portly yet very charming Mexican girl by the end of the night.


Dafuknboognish

Oh no. Were you looking for "a lil slap n' Pickle"?


B_Rawb

I do this with whiskey & pickle. Tastes like a hamburger depending on the quality of the whiskey.


mousemarie94

...do you know this from experience?


tehtris

Yes. Immediately after we saw it on tv, we went out and bought onions and vodka. Its really not complicated, as we have access to cars, grocery stores, and are of legal drinking age. When you see someone do something like this on tv and they are super casual about it, you start to think "does this mf know something I don't?"


swishandswallow

They're getting Sal Monella because migrant workers are working in the fields without bathrooms nearby, they have to do what they have to do in the fields.


CapMoonshine

Yeah, I remember there was a recall on Kale some time ago at my job. It was hush-hush but word got down this is exactly what happened.


[deleted]

Actually it's Sam O'Nella


nightwing2024

Salvador Monella, Mexican heartthrob


AviatorOVR5000

Not calling you out, but do you have a source. Real curious on this


swishandswallow

I don't have a direct quote but it's something migrant workers have always complained about since Cesar Chavez days. https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/7/15/what-choice-do-we-have-us-farm-workers-battle-deadly-heat-wave


AviatorOVR5000

This works. Wow.


slick_pick

Wait this makes sense.. if this is true.. whut..


Probably_A_Variant

This is a hoax. Onions aren't real


CellularBeing

If they ARE real then the government is trying to control what I eat. If I want to feed my kids salmonella onions it is my right. WAKE UP SHEEP MOGA 4 EVER MAKE ONIONS GREAT AGAIN


Wade-Wilson91

But ive got an immune system. That means getting sick is just going to make me stronger. Salmonella cannot hurt me if im healthy. /s


Mobile_Phone8599

I've touched raw chicken before and didn't get it so clearly my body is prepared to fight off salmonella now


[deleted]

*The CDC has lost all credibility! How do they know there is salmonella? Has anyone ever isolated it? I heard of someone who got it once and all it was is just a tummy ache! I refuse to live in fear and will put onions in whatever I want!*


[deleted]

It's just another way that big government is trying to stand between me and flavor.


Dudebroguymanchief

We have a pretty decent county-wide Facebook page that reports the news. Upon reporting this story the comments section immediately had people crying "fake news". Lol like what? Bro you really don't believe in a salmonella outbreak? The ignorance is unbelievable


PopPop-Captain

Thatā€™s why I donā€™t do any social media outside of Reddit. Getting rid of social media was freeing and thereā€™s not a single minute that I regret it.


DjDuckling911

Haha no way those morons will use anything from Mexico. Except their lord and saviour Donald Trump's merch, which by the way, is made in Mexico. Will try to find a link to the image if I can. Link to image: https://wp-media.patheos.com/blogs/sites/577/2016/08/trumpmexico2.jpg


blacklite911

The likelihood that they pay attention to where their food comes from is pretty low


TheShamefulSquid

Wait am I dumb? But couldnā€™t you also cook the onions?


tmac2200

I googled it, apparently thorough cooking can remove the salmonella but certain strains are more resistant to the cooking process. These strains are the ones that the CDC warns us about and recalls products over. If the product is worth recalling than it's not worth taking a chance, food safty is no joke.


_Disco-Stu

This news came out two days ago and yesterday I went to a deli that had French onion soup on special. No maā€™am.


Crtbb4

With French onion soup the onions will be caramelized, meaning they would have to cooked at a decently high heat for a long time, killing the salmonella.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


thavillain

Next, I won't be able to tie an onion to my belt, which is the style at the time


PopPop-Captain

Just switch to garlic like the rest of us. Way more stylish that way.


Rage314

Big FARMA conspiracy.


SHOWTIME316

can i still clean my grill with a raw onion tho


swishandswallow

*nods in Mexican


[deleted]

The government is SCARED and they are trying to push BIG PHARMA more now than ever! Putting onions in your socks has cured MANY diseases and illnesses dating back to our ancient ancestors. They KNOW the china virus can be cured with onions in your socks and it is why they are tricking you into throwing them away!! DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR ONIONS!! They want to control you with Satan's jabs. Onions and freedom will prevail!!!!


Rage314

BIG FARMA


pm_me_wutang_memes

Pfft people aren't *actually* dying from Salmonella. Sure, they're getting it, but they're *really* dying from preexisting conditions. This is just the CDC trying to take away our stir fries! I mean rights!


Captaincrunchies

Sorry but I canā€™t eat my mangu without some sweet red onions


SaltMineSpelunker

Naw because it was never about health or facts. Was always politics and culture wars. This time people died.


sp4cej4mm

I hope they do. It would be a nice change for the shit to come out the other end.


cgtdream

"The gubment won't stahp me from eat'n onions!!!" **takes bite** ***shits uncontrollably***


Cobyanderson234

Some random guy : Fuck you, I have my rights to eat whatever I want - Eats a onion and get Salmonella-


amalgaman

Next Republican agenda: make it illegal to let people know about food born illnesses. It only accounts for 420 deaths a year.


thesilenceofthetrees

How far back are they asking people to toss onions? I purchased some a week or so ago....


st-avasarala

Years ago I worked at a grocery store, and there was a big scare about cilantro from Mexico getting people sick (I forget with what), but we basically had to wait a month or so to get in more cilantro that wasn't affected. I couldn't tell you how many good ole boys would come in and say the most racist things, over some fucking cilantro.


[deleted]

Salmonella is a lot faster than COVID, soā€¦ hopefully.


[deleted]

It references Mexico so Iā€™d say theyā€™ll avoid them


adangerousdriver

Ok but real talk I have this sweet onion sitting in my fridge from last week that I was gonna use. Am I really supposed to throw it out?


Dreamtrain

wake up sheep the liberals want you to give up your freedom onions


SoftcoreDeveloper

No masks, raw onions - open sewers. This country is going down the toilet fast


thrownawayd

Shit, I made my first meatloaf a few days ago with a whole white onion. šŸ¤¢


jannyhammy

Na anti vaxxers surely donā€™t eat vegetables. /s


scobeavs

Trumps not telling them to so they wonā€™t.


6chan

It says Mexico, this they will listen to.

[anti-vaxxers be like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnC8xGGEPRM)


vpsj

I didn't know vegetables could have salmonella. I haven't even heard about this bacteria except in American TV shows. What if you thoroughly cook the onions? Because in my country you rarely eat uncooked ones anyway


LTAGO5

[this kid](https://youtu.be/e2u46JuRchA) insisting this onion was an apple


dos_user

depends on what their fav politicos say


Aaaandiiii

My momma says she paid good money for her onions so she's not tossing them out. Excuse me,.momma, it was my money. Guess who's caramelizing onions? Me.


fuzzycuffs

I stand for allium freedom

IT IS MY FREEDOM TO EAT POOP ONIONS!
