@@kioku119 Back then there were very few American men who didn’t follow baseball, even if they didn’t much like it. It was a subject for small talk like the weather. So if you were on a bus in Boston for example, the guy next to you would likely talk your ear off about how the Red Sox have been doing, how this player isn’t worth the money, and we should play this player more. But ultimately you make a very good point - if you were one of the very few American men who didn’t keep up with baseball, you may have been mistaken for a German spy.

Try a peanut and jelly sandwich. And jelly is actually different then jam.

[@andrewthezeppo]

I think peanut butter and jam is fine too. But note American jelly is very similar to jam (jelly is made from fruit juice, jam from crushed or pureed fruit) it is NOT gelatine/jello which is what people in the UK and Ireland call jelly(not sure what Kiwis and Australians say)

The Big League Chew is shredded that way because it was made to mimic chewing tobacco back in the day. Baseball players used to chew tobacco all of the time, and so Big League Chew was marketed towards young baseball players. MLB has tried to stamp out chewing tobacco, but I'm 38 and when I was little dudes used to go to bat with GIANT cheeks full of chaw.

Without reading all the other comments and I may be repeating some others: You should have had glasses or bottles of water on standby so you could refresh the palette after each try. Also, sweet soda after eating sugary candies probably affects the taste a bit. Having an A%W with some Cheetos would have been a different experience I think. Also, too many sweet snacks to try and not enough salty/savory ones!

Twinkies are mainly grease and sugar. They pump the grease out of the sewer lift stations, it collects in little balls that get bigger and bigger until they start interfering with the float switches. It then has to be pumped out and hauled to a refinery where it's turned into pure white grease. After that they use it for countless American food products .

Besides having flavors I’d never had before, like black currant, their lemon and limes actually had the fruit pulp in it!
