Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry
dbtng@eviltoast.org 3 weeks agoUm … you aren’t getting the joke?
It’s a Polak joke. They are a bit out of style in the US. More of a 60’s thing. But it was huge.
Are you pretending that this isn’t happening?

There is no joke, the text is in Polish and this happens all the time in bakeries with sweet shit laid out like this. So you want it to be a “polak joke” when it isn’t. This isn’t someone being racist / nationalistic / making this about haha those stupid Poles, this is literally a bakery in Poland with wasps on it, which isn’t uncommon to see.

Um … Ya, there’s a graphic. And then there’s the post title. And together they tell the joke.
It’s ok. You don’t have to get it. It will be fine.

Jesus christ, yes, there are no jalapenos in the pastry. Because there are wasps on it. Making it “spicy”. What your post and the petulant “hint” glosses over is the fact that it is a professional bakery selling pastries, with Polish text on it, Polish currency and Polish units on it (szt). What it glosses over is the fact that had the text been in German, it would’ve been a German spicy pastry. Had it been in Greek, it would’ve been a Greek spicy pastry.
As I said, I have seen this EXACT thing hundreds of times in Poland, it isn’t anything new and it isn’t a “haha Polak so stoopid” joke.
So chill out and stop being outraged just to be outraged.
