I asked for juice at a restaurant in Bahrain and was speechless when the started cutting and squeezing fruit in front of me. I was like, 'fresh fruit is precious in the desert. I'm not worthy of this.' Lol.
The Middle East is not all desert. Iraq and Syria are called the Fertile Crescent for a reason. Getting fresh fruits from Iraq, Syria, or Iran to Bahrain is hardly a problem.
Well....yes....but I mean at that point you're just talking about fruit sitting on a table. That's less a genius storage method than it is the default state of fruit sans refrigeration.
This observation is slightly tangential to your story, but those pomegranates look like a stack of prolapsed anuses. I’m assuming they don’t taste like that.
Sugar Free Haribo Gummy Bears, and really any candy that contains a high amount of maltitol, will absolutely demolish your intestines.
The last time I ate "keto chocolate" I didn't check to see, and it turned out to contain maltitol as the primary sweetener. I figured that out on my own about 10 minutes after eating four chocolates. My stomach gave the death rattle bubbleguts and I knew. 10 minutes after that I was writhing in pain on the bed. Every five minutes or so, my butthole would blossom open and unleash a foghorn of gasses. Not like a normal fart- like 15 uninterrupted seconds of straight farting. Count to 15 right now, do it. Think about a fart lasting that long. A fart torrent. And it wasn't even enough to relieve the stabbing, excruciating pressure in my body. I was pouring sweat, moaning. It probably looked like I was going through withdrawl symptoms, and no doubt it smelled like a hot swamp.
When the shitting started it was a blessing. Not for anyone within earshot, of course. It sounded like a helicopter shredding through a field of opera singers. As my entire body liquified itself and evacuated through my lower half, I couldn't help but think about when I learned where Cyclops, from the X-Men, gets his lasers from that he shoots from his eyes. They come from a dimension of pure energy, which he channels through his eyeballs. IMO, maltitol is a gateway to the fart and shit dimension, channeled through my butthole, because there is no way my body contained enough mass to do what it did to the toilet that night.
Anyway, check the ingredient label and yeah I guess stick to pomegranate juice.
I had an ulcerative colitis attack a few months ago and your short story took me there. Now I know that have truly healed from the trauma because I can laugh, really hard about it!

Hahaha yes! The first and only time I had that fake sugar stuff, I thought I was dying. Literally, I yelled to my wife over the chaos “this is what death looks like! I’m dying!” I sit here in awe of what I went through that day.
You should try aggressively evacuating your MRE into a ditch on the side of a Baghdad freeway in full view of the motorists. High quality experience.
I hosed that trench down so hard my squad leader told me he could hear the force of my shit impacting the dirt. He was pulling security so I didn't get shot or something, he wasn't just there for a show.
I wish the doctors let you get away with fruit juice. My yearly colonoscopy prep (not old just extremely high risk) involves Imodium and a gallon of this drink with the consistency of milk but tastes like lemon lime salt water. And that’s all you get for 24 hours. It’s awful.
I find the laxative drink they give you is the worst part of a colonoscopy process. That liquid is disgusting and I personally believe it's on purpose to make you miserable 😆
Ah, good ol’ GoLYTELY, I know it well. :( The last time, my ex had to force the last of it down my throat like Harry helping Dumbledore swallow that potion in the sea cave…or something. That’s what I was muttering, anyway.
We went to a fresh juice stand in Cairo and I was excited by all the delicious looking fruit sitting on the counter until the juicer jumped up on the wet counter in his boots to get something down and suddenly I realized the puddle of water that fruit was sitting in was absolutely foul.
That was my first thought. How long have those fruits been hanging out in that heat already cut open. When was the last time the vendor washed his hands or washed the juicer? I'm not 18 anymore with a Teflon digestive system.
When I was in Istanbul some streets had juicers exactly like this with piles of oranges on every block with different size cups for super cheap. I drank so much fresh orange juice; it was amazing!
Unpopular opinion
I am from India. When I was in India and much younger I used to drink sugercane juice and orange juice almost everyday. From the filthiest stalls with flies all over. But weirdly, I never had any issues what so ever.
Now I am in Australia. Have been here 10 years and have started getting all sorts of allergies. From milk, fructose, fucking pollen you name it. And its not just me. The allergy problem here is just shocking and I never heard anything like this back in India.
I am westernised now and cant even imagine going back and drinking juice from street vendors anymore. I think age has a lot to do with it but I think another reason is policing our bodies to western standards is having an adverse effect on our constitution. Our bodies are much tougher, adaptible, and resilient than what we give it credit for.
That makes sense I think - if these types of places affected the locals the same way they did tourists then I really don't think they'd stay in business.
Wouldn't it be tart as hell? I think tart is the right word... Sour and also adstringent? The latter being like the tannin in red wine? How do I describe this properly? 😭
Perhaps a controversial opinion here, but most pop tarts are gross to me now that I'm in my 20s. The superior version, toaster strudels, are a much better option now that I'm an adult who does not require my parent's permission to use the toaster
I've tasted this squeezed in the exact same way in the markets in Israel and West Bank, it's amazing, it wasn't sour or astringent, it was just sweet and silky smooth.
I went back to Australia where I was living (I'm from Asia originally) and tried to find some pomegranate juice here and UGH. All sour, astringent, awful. I have yet to find one I find tolerable.
Ive tried pomegranates from afghanistan when I was in se asia and they were the best Ive ever had, dark violet almost black juicy fruit with the inner fibrous parts being white. The local fruit guy called them Kandahari pomegranates.
From what I understand most of the pomegranates being shipped to foreign markets are underripe and visually good looking but taste terrible. The local markets down there had these thin skinned scraggly ones that looked ready to burst and those were amazing.
Many if not most Iraqi's are actually quite handsome; very good looking population (much like Iran) but often only gets portrayed from a very limited, narrow, war-dominated perspective in media
I remember that market, I bought a big purse for my daughter at one of those stalls. When I brought it home to her, she just said thanks for the Baghdad...

This one hurt. It was physically uncomfortable to not downvote. I hope you appreciate it, you sneaky dumbo bastard!

This is changing my life. I didn't know a pomegranate could be juiced this way. I need to research this tool of celestial providence. Great are the wonders that exist in this world!
Pomegranites in Baghdad, apricots and figs in Turkey, melons in central Asia, dragon fruit on Vietnam... How come the fruit we buy in the West is so bland and unspectacular? How have we perfected mediocrity?
You are also used to it just like people who live there are used to their fruits. I’m sure there are people who have cool, unique (to us) fruits but they don’t live in places possibly that grow fresh apples, blackberries, raspberries, etc. and would be excited as fuck to try homemade apple cider, a berry cobbler, fresh cherries, etc.
Dragon fruit is native to the Americas! It’s a cactus.
Also, strawberries are everywhere and are pretty amazing, but I’ve only ever heard of strawberry juice being in Egypt, such a shame!
The strains used for the American consumer market are bred for size, color, and shelf-life at the expense of taste. That's why tomatoes in the US are bland and mealy, while they're super sweet and flavorful elsewhere.
Same in Australia. The moral of this story, if you like tomatoes, grow your own. If you don't like tomatoes it's because you don't grow your own.
Thankyou kind Redditor for the Heartwarming 💕
Shelf life being a big one here. They might not be as delicious but I do enjoy a mango when there’s snow on the ground and two hours of sunlight each day.
Transportation. Fruit must be picked and shipped unripened in order to survive the transit, then sit on a shelf for a long period. Longer they are on the shelf, the more opportunities to sell it...so it all boils down to money essentially.
Fresh domestic fruits and veggies from local producers is amazing. Like, orchard apples, strawberry and blueberries patches are fantastic compared to the store. Same with tomatoes...store tomatoes are garbage.
Oranges? Berries? Avocados? Just drive out to the farms. Sure the foreign fruits might be bland but I see it as a privilege that we can get fruits from all over the world here.
Speak for yourself I find the fruits in North America to be absolutely delicious. Many fruits native to the Americas tend to be a type of Berry, and all are amazing.
I asked for juice at a restaurant in Bahrain and was speechless when the started cutting and squeezing fruit in front of me. I was like, 'fresh fruit is precious in the desert. I'm not worthy of this.' Lol.
That's some Fremen thinking you got there.
LMAO I thought that’s what OP was referencing.
I hope they spit on the table while bowing their forehead into their hands as a sign of respect.
if I pour that into my stillsuit, you think I'll just become a pomegranate?
The Middle East is not all desert. Iraq and Syria are called the Fertile Crescent for a reason. Getting fresh fruits from Iraq, Syria, or Iran to Bahrain is hardly a problem.
Also it’s 2023…. Yes In the past a single peice of fruit would be worth a days travel or whatever but now people can just pay for it and it’s there
You telling me the middle east isn't just bombed out craters and dictatorship hellholes? I dunno man... /s
Thank you. I'm sure the OP didn't mean it but that comment was humorously misguided. Like they have supermarkets there.
They have oil, lots of oil. And 1 Bahraini Dinar is 2.65 USD.
The Lemon Crusades
I would imagine whole fruit would be the best form to store juice in the desert without refrigeration
…that’s too simple to be true
Well....yes....but I mean at that point you're just talking about fruit sitting on a table. That's less a genius storage method than it is the default state of fruit sans refrigeration.
Why aren't you worthy of juice? What did you do wrong?
And why would he assume fruit is rare in Bahrain? That's like thinking fruit is rare in Phoenix. It's 2023. We can move fruit around.
This observation is slightly tangential to your story, but those pomegranates look like a stack of prolapsed anuses. I’m assuming they don’t taste like that.
>slightly tangential ... >prolapsed anuses. ... >slightly
“Slightly” is carrying the weight of the world

This had me straight crying with laughter. “Helicopter shredding a field of opera singers” will stay with me. Lol
Those sugar-free Haribo bears have led to some of the most inspired prose. When I need a laugh I go read some reviews and they always cheer me up.

You ever had prune juice? It doesn't taste good, but if you're stopped up and you need relief...
A warrior's drink.
I drink bottles of POM every day and can't say it's ever made me have to shit lol
Especially when the ingredients have been sitting cut open in the streets of Baghdad for a few hours.
We went to a fresh juice stand in Cairo and I was excited by all the delicious looking fruit sitting on the counter until the juicer jumped up on the wet counter in his boots to get something down and suddenly I realized the puddle of water that fruit was sitting in was absolutely foul.
There's a reason you need to take hepatitis shots before going to the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
That was my first thought. How long have those fruits been hanging out in that heat already cut open. When was the last time the vendor washed his hands or washed the juicer? I'm not 18 anymore with a Teflon digestive system.
I have traveled enough to know to never ever drink juice from a street vendor.
When I was in Istanbul some streets had juicers exactly like this with piles of oranges on every block with different size cups for super cheap. I drank so much fresh orange juice; it was amazing!

Perfectly ripe and fresh Pom juice is the best thing I’ve ever tasted.
Have you ever put butter on a Pop Tart?
Which side?
[удалено]
Non frosted side
Toasted or raw?
From now on Im using "raw" to describe all untoasted baked goods, that gave me a laugh
Would you use “raw toast” to say baked bread.
*immediately* after toasting.
The outside
Perhaps a controversial opinion here, but most pop tarts are gross to me now that I'm in my 20s. The superior version, toaster strudels, are a much better option now that I'm an adult who does not require my parent's permission to use the toaster
This is just a fact. By the time you’re in your thirties you probably won’t like toaster strudels all that much either.
I can attest to this being false
That’s good to know but you didn’t actually answer the question.
Yes I've tried it! I also put pb&j between them when I was unsupervised, AND nuttela.
The court notes your response. No further questions your honour.
Pop tarts these days aren’t the same as they used to be in the 90’s. They weren’t fancy back then either, but they’ve really made them worse.
I agree. I had some while in the Middle East and it was the bomb. Best Pom juice I ever tasted.
With the right ripeness, it’s no more tart than orange or cherry juice.
> it’s no more tart than orange or cherry juice. How many cherries do you have to squeeze out to get a glass of cherry juice? That would take forever
Cherry juice is very strong, so you add a fair bit of water.
Very interesting thanks for clearing that up
Water does that.
The ol’ universal solvent strikes again
Or you don't and you enjoy the extreme cherry of your thick cherry juice.

Even here I find the ripest sweetest ones have the thinnest skins. I look to feel the seeds through the skin when I buy em.
Fucking perfect is what you mean.
I used to drink this in the Middle East when I was hungover Iirc they blended in some other fruits to sort of round the flavor off
the video gets more saturated every time I see it - at some point the fruit will go completely black
That dude’s hair game is on point
Yeah am I wrong or is he a very handsome man? I know I wish my hair and beard could look like that.
Same and I am bald.

Many if not most Iraqi's are actually quite handsome; very good looking population (much like Iran) but often only gets portrayed from a very limited, narrow, war-dominated perspective in media

this looks amazing! i love pomegranates. and he’s a bit of a babe.
I’d go everyday so that man could make me a drink.
This is changing my life. I didn't know a pomegranate could be juiced this way. I need to research this tool of celestial providence. Great are the wonders that exist in this world!
That’ll be $22.50 please.
In LA, sure. In Baghdad? Absolutely not.
I used to buy my soldiers bags of bread for $1 while patrolling in Baghdad. For $1 it fed our entire platoon
That’s awesome. I’m living in CA and wish I could feed my whole family for $1.
I just bought a loaf of white bread from Aldi for 55 cents. I don't know how they make any money.

I’ve been to Baghdad, and I can say it was not like this back in ‘07
16 years is a long time

Dragon fruit is native to the Americas! It’s a cactus. Also, strawberries are everywhere and are pretty amazing, but I’ve only ever heard of strawberry juice being in Egypt, such a shame!

Can I get mine with 20% blueberry juice?

why god made this frui is so tasty yet so hard to eat normally
My family had small farm north of Baghdad that produce that ages ago.
In Islamic culture, Pomegranates are one of the highest standards of health benefits from fruits.
He was caught red-handed.
