The big problem is that they know. They know they are making the violence, and unfairly complaining about it. Pointing it out changes nothing for them.
They know and they say it anyways and don’t care if they are wrong because it works. It is unfortunately working.
Has anyone else ever had this happen? Is this just a joke made for clicks and likes? I saw this many years ago (and likely this exact one as it’s from 2019) and I thought this isn’t a thing. My thought now, this isn’t a thing.
Buuuttt… You more or less did say that. This is what you said - “Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though”
And Haha no worries my man, I simply had the time. The thing is… regular supermarket bread in your area does have added sugar. That is the point. It is not region dependant. It does in northern Germany, it does in southern Germany, east and west. It does in your bio-markt, it does in Aldi, it does at netto, it does at rewe. The common default is added sugar in one variety or another. It is rare, so rare it is much harder to find an exception to that rule. Grocery stores almost all have mass produced bread - mass produced bread has added sugar for a lot of good reasons.
But serious question @taxiiiii. Do I need to go on? “Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though” - so you say - or does it? Which is exactly the point I was making about the ambulance. Ambulances never get blocked in Germany, just as german bread does not have added sugar. Both are of course wrong.
Really. I can give you 1,000 other examples of where it has added sugar. I can also give you examples of german bread that have double or tripple higher added sugar then other countries typical bread.
You are correct that many counties like Japan, or Sweden, or the US add sugar to their bread, but you would also be wrong to assume that it doesn’t happen in your country. Cause it happens in every country. Want to know how I know? I’ve professionally baked bread in Germany and the US.
Bread from rewe. 2.8g sugar. Coming from caramelized sugar and a inverted sugar syurp. https://shop.rewe.de/p/gab-weltmeisterbrot-mehrkorn-750g/2306462
Farmers crust 2,6g sugar http://sortiment.heberer.de/de/home/i/50001178 Roggenbrot 2.6g sugar http://sortiment.heberer.de/de/home/i/50001154
Do I need to go on?
I’m not trying to cherry pick out examples. Literally the first thing I find that is bread
Backwerk kaiserbrötchen 2.6g sugar, their pretzel 3.4g sugar https://www.back-werk.de/de/sortiment/kaiserbrotchen-622?lang=de
It doesn’t get more typical for me than german pumpernickel, with a whopping 6.7g sugar coming from sugar beets and malted barley syurp https://www.knuspr.de/6236-alnatura-bio-pumpernickel?gad_source=1
Which one did I look at? No idea. That was 4 years ago at someone’s house. But here are some examples. Merzenich are the most common bakeries around me.
Their bauernhandbrötchen have 2,6g sugar per 100g. Their main sugar that they are adding is malted barely. But they also add beet sugar and grape sugar. Malted barley is sugar syurp. https://baeckerei-merzenich.de/ WEIZENMEHL 43 %, Wasser, ROGGEN MEHL 7 %, ROGGENMALZFLOCKEN 4 %, GERSTENMALZEXTRAKT, Zucker, Traubenzucker, Malzmehl (GERSTE, WEIZEN), WEIZENGRIESS, Rapsöl, Salz, BUTTERMILCHPULVER, Hefe
Here is another kamps village bread 1.6g sugar https://kamps.de/produkte/brot-kamps-dorfbrot
Or another at 2.6g sugar https://kamps.de/produkte/brot-kamps-eck
Here is a sliced bread variety at 1.5 G that I see at rewe https://www.harry-brot.de/produkte/detail/show/sammy-s-super-sandwich-das-original
This is not the bread I was eating, it is the bread they had at home. Nearly all commercial bread has sugar added to it. Natural sugar is also created with breaking down carbohydrates. A popular sugar added to german bread is malted barley syrup . Nearly all german bread bought at german bakeries have a sugar content between .4g and 1.5g per 100g. Go to a grocery store and flip over a bread package. Go to one of the bakery chains and look at their nutrition facts. Here are some examples. The first one I looked up on Merzenich has 2.7g sugar per 100.

Germany is better than most places, but it happens here too. It could be one of those things you only notice when you’re looking for it.
I’ve never seen someone open carry a gun in the US but when you listen to people it sounds like everyone does.
I was a my friends WG (group apartment) and her roommate just got back from the US. She was shocked that the Americans even put sugar in their bread. Something something it’s why they are all fat and unhealthy. I was curious, so got all of the german bread there… And you know what? It all had a higher sugar content than the American bread example.
I saw this exact same thing yesterday in Cologne Germany but not with one, but two ambulances.
I came to the comments for this… I was like “huh… Odd… It doesn’t say that they are a republican. They aren’t a Democrat are they!? Surely if they a Democrat the is story would be everywhere! Can’t be, but better to check and be sure.” haha
In the United States what is pictured are not called pancakes. Those are Crêpes / crepes. Add a levening agent (baking soda) and flour and ya got American pancakes.
Want to make them better and more uniquely American and not so Fastfood American?
Use sourdough starter Or
Carefully stir in (to not make it flat) 7up or a not too bitter beer replacing some or all of the water Or
Replace some of the flour with fine corn meal, add rosemary and a pork product (eg sausage, cooked bacon cubes)
In high-school some people froze their paintballs and it made dents. I would never suggest it.
I read a great comment on here from someone that destruction of Teslas on a lot is not the right tactic or is not as effective because of they simply get replaced (and more get made) and paid for with insurance money.
I read that spray painting personal Teslas is great for spreading the fear in media so that people don’t buy one in the first place and they sit unsold on lots.
The orgional person that said it was much better with the points than me. Did anyone else see it / can link it it?
Books or audio books on the subject of cults and conspiracy theories help to both understand this and eventually know what to do about it.
Unfortunately, you arguing with them about it most likely did only damage and no good. Stop. It will only make your parents more right wing (and you left) then drive you both crazy.

Hit me up if you want more. But it’s a complicated subject that can’t be explained in a short lemmy post. If you want any other advice, OP, eatsomeveggies.
Trump does not want Greenland, never did. He also doesn’t care about the gulf of Mexico or Panama cannel.
It’s just a distraction and negative media overload method that he uses. And you know what, it works. Here we are talking about this and not the serious things.
Calm everyone. Trump does not want Greenland, never did. He also doesn’t care about the gulf of Mexico or Panama cannel.

Jein. It’s not as bad as OP makes it sound, and I’ve never seen a 10 let alone 12 organic eggs in Germany for 2€ but I also live in the city.
What you’re looking at here look like organic (bio) eggs, likely from a very expensive bio-store. Typical prices for eggs in Denver for organic eggs are 7.49 for 12 or .62¢ a egg at a store comparable to REWE. - Non-bio eggs get down to 4.99 on sale for 12 or .41 an egg.
Here at my REWE in Köln organic eggs are 3.39 for 10 or .33 an egg. So they are actually only twice the price for organic which is due to the killing of millions of chickens because of bird flue.
Eggs are now 33$ in Denver guys!!
Na… Just kidding… We don’t do click bait here. And eggs aren’t really 10$ a dozen most anywhere.
Wait a minute now… What if that is not cow milk but a milk alternative? Oatmilk, rice milk or almond milk. Could a alternative milk not be a broth?
