I don’t understand why you wouldn’t like raisins? They’re pretty much just sugar.

The only other dried fruit I see people eat regularly is cranberries, and those really can’t be eaten fresh. I think it’s just that most people don’t like dried fruit and this is their only exposure. It’s definitely one of the most sickeningly sweet natural things you can eat that isn’t a sweetener in and of itself.

Excuse me, fresh cranberries are delicious!

For me it's cookies. Thinking I'm about to bite into a chocolate chip cookie only to be sorely disappointed!

Otherwise I like raisins, just fine on their own or in trail mix :)
