It's because most people don't really like raisins so most people aren't going out of their way to get raisins. We only saw them a bunch growing up because there was an ad campaign.
I don't even know what kind of container they come in anymore. Raisins are weird and niche af if you think about it.

I was just using the wording from the painting. Is there a reason why it would be different for the word raisin instead of pipe?

Raisin is masculine so it gets 'un' but pipe is feminine so it gets 'une'. Gendered languages are interesting.

Pipe is feminine?!
sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 35d
Yep! A mouse is feminine. A horse is masculine. A car is feminine. A fridge is masculine. A door is feminine. A bed is masculine.
Glowstick@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 35d
Sure, but a pipe is completely phallic. Please tell me flower and clam are feminine

In French, that is. Other gendered languages might be totally different, or even have 'genders' other than masculine/feminine.

Go lie on the ground in your kitchen and check with a flashlight under all the furniture and whatnot. There's bound to be a few.

My hubby has that problem too when he’s taking a shower. His BMI is off the scale.

The store has them.

I find this response good and funny.
Also not to make it weird but I haven't been to a grocery store in years because I have agoraphobia, and I hadn't even thought about that part. 😅
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 34d
They'll literally even bring them to you, anymore.

ordering grocery delivery for a single teeny tiny box of raisins, as a bit
(don't actually do that though, if you want to order some raisins get the rest of your groceries with it haha)

On an unrelated note, a joke I remember from my childhood, which I'll now butcher because it's been a few decades:
Person goes to grocery store, asks if they have apples. "We do" "Good, can you give me 10, individually bagged?"
Next day: "Do you have carrots?" "Yes, we do" "Can you give me 5 of them, individually bagged?"
Day after that: "Do you have raisins?" "NO, we do not sell raisins here!"
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 35d
I work with raisins on a daily basis.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 35d
Me too. They're a pain amirite? Especially that one who always makes meetings take forever.

Ooh it was for real? I thought it was wordplay on "I haven't seen a raise in 15 years"

Don’t need to be specific. Both can be used and be fire

I have some in the pantry if you need them. Still good, they were not part of the cleanup!

All of the solar panels took away the sun and the grapes can't dry out anymore. /s

Good. Dried fruits should have died out with the mass adoption of refridgeration
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 34d
Even dried bananas or dried cherries with dark chocolate!?
makeshift0546@lemmy.today · -5 pts · 35d
Because they are garbage and nobody eats them anymore. Maybe you get them in a full dish if you are unlucky.
