ess3sq163364dpretty sure they have always been a thing in Latin America.
western countries recently started accepting/being interested in foreign/exotic foods etc -
CoreFusionX3513364d@Hazarth
Absolutely not true. While avocado has less insaturated fats than say, red meat, it still has a considerable amount of fat.
Believe me, those avocado and salmon toasts you have for breakfast aren't exactly helping you lose weight... -
hjk1015696363dWhat @Hazarth said. It's part of the whole super foods/protein fad. Bird seed has also become hugely popular where it was unknown before.
-
netikras34852363d@hjk101 next up: semen shots. Lots of proteins, zinc and weird enough to become the next best thing
-
Hazarth9521363d@CoreFusionX Yeah, I'm not a huge believer in avocados either, wouldn't eat them daily, though I enjoy them occasionally. I'm just pointing out that they became so popular because of this marketing.
-
alturnativ630363d@netikras I might be misremembering but isn't bull semen some kinda delicacy somewhere?
-
CoreFusionX3513363d@Hazarth
There is also another issue.
Avocado crops require *massive* amounts of water, which is obviously a non-issue in tropical climates where they naturally grow but a very big problem in countries like Spain which suffer from pretty much permanent droughts. -
alturnativ630363dDamn, y'all got me googling bull jizz. Turns out I was completely wrong, there's apparently a myth about it being in energy drinks but it's just a myth. Also a joke scene from Kingpin (1996). Just another day of me being wrong :)

jiraTicket2271359dWhere are you from? I imagined everyone knew what an avocado was in 2012.
In Sweden avocados were relatively u known before the 70s but quickly became common. -
AleCx0427705359dI grew up eating avocado. The whole craze about "healthy fats" made them super popular in the U.S
Dunno about other parts of the world tho -
TeachMeCode5175359d@AleCx04 Iām glad my stomach flu is gone so I can finally eat actual foodā¦including avocado. Thought i would never like food again lol
-
awesomeest1209357dAvocados need to go back to being a side item/expensive add on imo... at least for usa. They started being in so many things that its not even listed on menus often... just used. I dont hate them... just pref occassional light usage instead of this new age game with hipsters, yuppies and the 'woke' trying to shove as much avocado into life as possible.
I feel the same about pico... its become trendy... but is often the equivalent of that little green leafy shit that used to come on plates for the purpose of not eating it -
TeachMeCode5175357d@AleCx04 honored to have that title. This REALLY SICK bird dog could use some avocado (itās chicken fingers with buffalo sauce and bleu cheese in a hot dog roll)!!
-
TeachMeCode5175357dCrap I spilled the hot sauce. Iāll just dip my bird dog in the floor sauce bc itās so good!!
-
TeachMeCode5175356d@AleCx04 happy new year my man! Check out armored core 6, from the same people who brought us Elden Ring. The playstyle isnāt quite souls like but it gives me the same love hate relationship I have with dark souls bloodbourne and Elden ring.
We will go through this new year happier and stronger! -
AleCx0427705356d@TeachMeCode happy new year to you as well bro! And I've had my eye on Armored Core. Will most definitely hit it up once I am done with Spider Man 2, way different from the FromSoftware games, but pretty cool nonetheless!
-
TeachMeCode5175355d@AleCx04 sweet! I just got an Xbox series x, buggiest console on the planet. Canāt even login to my account, setting it up was one big glitch after another.
-
TeachMeCode5175351d@AleCx04 rrrrrghhh tonight Iām gonna wipe the floor with that Ibis boss!! Shits been killing me for days like most fromsoft bosses. Heās a mech with jet wings. Youāre pretty much fighting a jet with a brainā¦!!
-
TeachMeCode5175349d@AleCx04 bought two huge bazookas and blew that bird into drumsticks!!!! The winner is always the one with bazookas, letās not forget that!!!
-
AleCx0427705349d@TeachMeCode I am for sure getting it on next paycheck. Already went over my videogame monthly quota on december lol! Seems like a pretty cool looking game not gonna lie
-
TeachMeCode5175348d@AleCx04 beat it last night, but got the bad ending. Wonāt spoil but you can influence the games outcome somewhat. Im going back for the good ending.
-
TeachMeCode5175347d@AleCx04 I lent Elden ring to a friend. Doesnāt seem to be playing it much, lol. I might take it back from him if he canāt stomach constant dying š. Itās pretty accessible with summons, spells and buffs to get an edge, you donāt have to go hercules your way through. I played it on his superior sound system and damn hearing the heavy armor clank on the horse the knight boss rides on was sick, especially when the horse staggers lol
-
TheBeardedOne3130336dDoesn't that just mean there's more hummus for you if everyone else is eating avo instead?
When did avocados become so popular?
10 years ago almost no one knew what they were and now they're more prevalent than hummus š„²
