#8 - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Using a little bit of “EVOO” as Rachel Ray would say makes any dish even better. The oil of the olive is a far healthier option than other oils like vegetable or peanut. Sort of like wasabi, extra-virgin olive oil is a very expensive product to make which means you’ll be paying a hefty price for it when you pick it up from the store. If you come across a version or brand that seems cheaper than normal it’s most likely because it is actually chemically manufactured soybean oil that has added enhancements so that it tastes just like olive oil.

#7 - Different Colored Fruit Loops Are Not Different Flavors
Out of all these food lies we’re learning today, we’re really the most upset about the ones that end up taking our childhood away. We thought things worked a certain way as a kid and then when we grow up we learn what had really been going on all along. Fruit Loops were a favored cereal, they aren’t so much anymore but that’s just because they’re a great big box of lies. We all believed that each of the colors corresponded with a certain flavor but it turns out that they all taste exactly the same.

#6 - There Are Less Noodles Than You Might Have Thought
Heating up a cup of instant noodles is an easy and affordable way to have lunch while not at home. Whether not you are at school or at work in an office, you’re bound to see a cup of noodles somewhere. We know that there aren’t too many noodles in the cup to begin with but we were extremely shocked to see this picture and discover that there are even fewer noodles than we have previously thought. The space underneath the noodles is apparently there so that the noodles cook evenly but all we know is we want more noodles in our cups.

#5 - German Chocolate Cake Is Not From Germany
When something is given a certain name, like the name of a country, for example, most tend to believe that said item was discovered, invented, or created there, because it has its name. That’s what people thought when they heard of German chocolate cake. They thought that the rich delicious chocolate was crafted by some expert chocolatiers who lived in the country. The name didn’t actually come from Germany, the man who created the baking chocolate we use in so many recipes today was named Sam German which is where German chocolate came from. It sort of puts a lot into perspective, doesn’t it?

#4 - You Won’t Be Finding Twinkies After The Apocalypse
It has been a long-standing rumor that we’ll be able to come across a truck full of Twinkies after the world has ended and we’ve all found ourselves haphazardly thrown into the apocalypse. Unfortunately for our hearts and our future stomachs that just isn’t the way things are going to be. As it turns out, Twinkies only stay good for about 45 days. After that, well, you can see just what happens to them in this picture. That’s not something we’d put into our mouths no matter how hungry we are.

#3 - Double Stuffed Oreos Do Not Give Double The Stuff
You might not be able to read the scribbled math equation in this picture but it is supposed to show us just how much delicious stuffing is actually stuffed into milk’s favorite cookie. As you see this mathematical equation proves that we do NOT get double the stuffing in double stuffed Oreos, we get about 1.86 worth of stuff. Everything is a lie.

#2 - Baby Carrots Are Just Big Carrots That Went Through Surgery
Here is another lie that we just can’t seem to come to terms with. The story behind the picture here is that companies take big carrots, put them into the machine pictured here, and they then get shaved down into baby carrots. No, they aren’t just a midget species of carrot that gets planted and harvested as is, every carrot is just a big carrot and whether or not it stays big throughout the manufacturing process is completely up to the manufacturers.

#1 - Your Pack Of Ramen Was Meant For Two
We don’t know about you but we have never sat there and separated the noodles so that we could share the single pack with another person, it just hasn’t happened. We pop open the package throw the whole contents into a pot of boiling water and wait three minutes until the noodles are cooked. If you have been doing things like this too, then you haven’t been doing things correctly just like us. According to this picture of the back of the package, the contents of that package are meant to feed two. Um, we’ll keep eating the whole thing by ourselves, thanks.
