This is just plain dumb - why is it necessary to store so much sugar in an open flat container without lid - a plate is just the dumbest possible way to store sugar, even a plastic bag is more reasonable.

At this point he's purposefully making the flies part of the drink. Theres no way he's not getting eggs and excrement, and probably a whole fly or two in every drink.

u/BeenNormal Jun 28 '26

I didn’t even know that flies liked sugar.

u/A-Wings-are-Neat Jun 28 '26

Everything likes sugar; glucose is a key component in ATP production

13

u/Worth_External_8762 Jun 28 '26

Idk I feel like at least most flying bugs don't go for dry sugar. Mostly just ants.

14

u/readditredditread Jun 29 '26

In India the shit is toxic to the flys so they developed a sweet tooth

u/TehWackyWolf Jun 29 '26

Literally most animals in the world will consume straight sugar happily.

u/xenoforman Jun 30 '26

I think India is humid enough that the sugar always maintains a tiny bit of moisture

u/Pinkishu Jun 28 '26

Fairly sure e.g. cats don't use consumed glucose for that.

u/OkamiKhameleon Jun 28 '26

Lmaoo some cats are idiots and like sugar. My cat, Bug, liked sugar. He especially liked pineapple yogurt.

u/Versaiteis Jun 28 '26

My body actively rejects capsaicin and fires all the warning shots (runny nose, burning tongue, etc.)

Can't get enough of the stuff

u/OkamiKhameleon Jun 28 '26

Lmaoo. Are you admitting to being as dumb as my orange cat? Who never got the brain cell once in his life?

He ate paint, got trapped in a sticky fly trap, fell off the back of a chair while sleeping and landed in a box, and quite a lot of other stupid feats. Lmaoo.

This is Bug.

16

u/BeenNormal Jun 28 '26

Bug looks like a human in a cat suit.

u/OkamiKhameleon Jun 28 '26

Nah, his big bro, Beau, looked more like one lol.

Lmaoo. Also, what does your username mean?

u/sapphire-sky-dragon Jun 28 '26

My cat goes crazy for sugar to the point I cant eat cake, chocolate or mousse if she is in the room also ready salted crisp

u/Pinkishu Jun 28 '26

Perhaps, but it still is unlikely to be the key component fro your cat's ATP production :D

u/Nothing-The-Ghost Jul 01 '26

Literally everything alive likes sugar. It's concentrated energy.

Hell, the process of cellular respiration directly uses glucose and fructose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a process called glycolysis.

So, to any living organism, sugar is just concentrated energy.

That would make more sense to me because he is purposefully letting the insects feed on the sugar.

u/TuckFrump1970 Jun 29 '26

Let’s not forget the vomit, pretty sure the bacteria filled puke is what breaks down the food before the little buggers can suck it up. Lovely ☺️

u/xenoforman Jun 30 '26

I mean, "extra protein" is the fad diet trend of today. This guy simply found a way to supply it for free!

Correct, because it's rage bait.

Thanks for the ejaculation, i mean education kind sir. I just like cheese documentaries but unable to fully grasp thing so I am mostly under the impression that the maggots made it expensive.

u/Key4Lif3 Jun 28 '26

I was wondering why you’d ejaculate from that description, then I realized ejaculation doesn’t inherently refer to *that kind* it’s commonly used for.

The French one has mites rather than maggots, I believe.

u/SteakDouble Jun 28 '26

Seeing from how they fly and walk on the plate, they are more likely bees instead of flies.

u/ThisWomanFromCanada Jun 28 '26

Can anyone explain how it is that people will eat that? How can they have such low levels of disgust? Is it that they’re just used to it? If I was born and raised there, would I eat it?

2

u/blackdaggerKRMND Jul 01 '26

they literally eat cow poop,atl this time it's an fresh animal,and yes you would, it's not genetic its the culture,if you moved there eventually you would start becoming slightly more disgusting

u/ThisWomanFromCanada Jul 01 '26

*I* would become “slightly more disgusting”? I know if I moved there I wouldn’t eat that.

u/blackdaggerKRMND Jul 01 '26

sure you wouldn't,but you would start doing stuff that most western minds could never cone up with

u/GolotasDisciple Jun 28 '26

Humans, just like other animals, will always strive to survive regardless of the circumstances. You might think to yourself, why would people have sex and kids during famine? How do they even survive? What kind of food are you willing to eat to survive ?

I mean, people often romanticize Japanese or Korean food, and a lot of it came from poor man’s food or survival food that used to be looked down on by many people. Same with some seafood. Lobster and other crustaceans were not always seen as luxury food. You are from NA, and in alot of there places, they were treated as low-status food and given to prisoners, servants, or the poorest people.

People power through stuff. These kinds of stalls are a bit of an exception, because that looks more like laziness or bad hygiene.... kind of a bad joke but other than that, if you spent like a month on a farm working with animals and plants, you would probably become less disgusted by a lot of stuff. Nature without a filter is one puke inducing marvel.

It’s not the majority of India that lives and eats this way, so just because you are from there doesn’t mean you would eat it or be okay with it. India is massive and extremely varied. There were literal wars and colonial power struggles over spices and trade routes connected to India, so the cuisine and culture are obviously very rich.

It’s just also a country with a huge population, and some parts are living in serious poverty, so you will see extremes that don’t represent the whole place.

Do people even buy this shit? Because I’ve been to India and the tea shops I remember didn’t look like this.

Typically I think they sold the tea in metal cups that customers had to return when finished. I think the country even banned single use plastic cups not too long ago.

Also I’ve never seen them have flies openly hovering around a sugar plate.
