To the American palate natural sugars taste like sour lemons. The rest of the world goes crazy for sultanas or raisins in things because they are such a sweet little surprise. To Americans raised on a steady diet of factory brewed high fructose corn syrup, they seem to offend and overwhelm their senses.
I hear so much raisin hate on American podcasts etc. I'll never understand it.
I'm from Europe and I don't like raisins. 🤷♂️
You're not far wrong, but the corollary is it's really hard to avoid unless you're fairly nutrition aware. After moving away I lost several kilo in a year by accident. Eating normal food and living someplace walkable does a lot.

Even the pastry in the meme is a "pain au raisin" which they've just put.... icing sugar on top of 🤢
Lol that's absurd hahaha People have different palletes and culture and socioeconomic history. To just slash out us little Americans for a quick jab is ignorant at best. Everyone loves fruit in America. Everyone on earth loves fruit. Put that pet theory to rest.
For what it's worth, I love raisins in bread, cereal, salads and cookie and I'm American as they come.
