Buuuttt… You more or less did say that. This is what you said - “Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though”
And Haha no worries my man, I simply had the time. The thing is… regular supermarket bread in your area does have added sugar. That is the point. It is not region dependant. It does in northern Germany, it does in southern Germany, east and west. It does in your bio-markt, it does in Aldi, it does at netto, it does at rewe. The common default is added sugar in one variety or another. It is rare, so rare it is much harder to find an exception to that rule. Grocery stores almost all have mass produced bread - mass produced bread has added sugar for a lot of good reasons.

But serious question. Do I need to go on? “Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though” - so you say - or does it? Which is exactly the point I was making about the ambulance. Ambulances never get blocked in Germany, just as german bread does not have added sugar. Both are of course wrong.
Really. I can give you 1,000 other examples of where it has added sugar. I can also give you examples of german bread that have double or tripple higher added sugar then other countries typical bread.
You are correct that many counties like Japan, or Sweden, or the US add sugar to their bread, but you would also be wrong to assume that it doesn’t happen in your country. Cause it happens in every country. Want to know how I know? I’ve professionally baked bread in Germany and the US.

I’m not trying to cherry pick out examples. Literally the first thing I find that is bread
Backwerk kaiserbrötchen 2.6g sugar, their pretzel 3.4g sugar www.back-werk.de/de/sortiment/kaiserbrotchen-622?…
It doesn’t get more typical for me than german pumpernickel, with a whopping 6.7g sugar coming from sugar beets and malted barley syurp www.knuspr.de/6236-alnatura-bio-pumpernickel?gad_…

Which one did I look at? No idea. That was 4 years ago at someone’s house. But here are some examples. Merzenich are the most common bakeries around me.
Their bauernhandbrötchen have 2,6g sugar per 100g. Their main sugar that they are adding is malted barely. But they also add beet sugar and grape sugar. Malted barley is sugar syurp. baeckerei-merzenich.de WEIZENMEHL 43 %, Wasser, ROGGEN MEHL 7 %, ROGGENMALZFLOCKEN 4 %, GERSTENMALZEXTRAKT, Zucker, Traubenzucker, Malzmehl (GERSTE, WEIZEN), WEIZENGRIESS, Rapsöl, Salz, BUTTERMILCHPULVER, Hefe
Here is another kamps village bread 1.6g sugar kamps.de/produkte/brot-kamps-dorfbrot
Or another at 2.6g sugar kamps.de/produkte/brot-kamps-eck
Here is a sliced bread variety at 1.5 G that I see at rewe harry-brot.de/…/sammy-s-super-sandwich-das-origin…

This is not the bread I was eating, it is the bread they had at home. Nearly all commercial bread has sugar added to it. Nearly all german bread bought at german bakeries have a sugar content. Typical content is between .06 and 1.5g. Go to a grocery store and flip over a bread package. Go to one of the bakery chains and look at their nutrition facts.

Germany is better than most places, but it happens here too. It could be one of those things you only notice when you’re looking for it.
I’ve never seen someone open carry a gun in the US but when you listen to people it sounds like everyone does.
I was a my friends WG (group apartment) and her roommate just got back from the US. She was shocked that the Americans even put sugar in their bread. Something something it’s why they are all fat and unhealthy. I was curious, so got all of the german bread there… And you know what? It all had a higher sugar content than the American bread example.

I saw this exact same thing yesterday in Cologne Germany but not with one, but two ambulances.

- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 4 months ago:
Of course as people pointed out, this is far from a uniquely American thing. Also, I’m sure by American they mean the USA, but “Americans” are inclusive of north, central and south America. Here in Europe, we also expect people to speak English as it is the universal language.
As a side note, it is also often commented that Americans (USA Americans) can only speak English. This is a narrow view that primarily broadly looks at white Americans and ignores the fact that the US is a huge melting pot of cultures and for many US citizens English is their second or third language.
It goes without being said, the contents of the picture should never have a reason to be written. Don’t be a dick to people trying to help you.

The typical dosage is 2 for all of them (excluding the rand german pill - the one that you have no idea what it is). It’s also ibuprofen, but you would never know it. Does that help at all with you being skeptical?
- Comment on Preference 6 months ago:
Advil is the main brand name for this. I always buy a bottle and other pills when I’m in the US. It is way more than I need but what I like is all the US pills look different. I always have a little mixed bottle of Advil, Pepto Bismol (fixes everything stomach related), anti-histamine pills… with me for when I need them. You can mix them all together and still tell the difference between them. That’s what I don’t like about the European blister packs of unidentifable white pills. That and I hate blister packs. It is also cheaper to buy a bottle. But to be clear, I get like a bottle of 50 or 100. Advil is also enteric coated so it is better for your stomach and tastes better (it’s slightly sweet).

There is a lot of good books (or audio books) I could suggest. This has been also a interest in mine. The reasons are different and also the same. Many of the top comments touch on some of the points.
- Comment on No thanks. I'm good. 8 months ago:
I’ve had it a number of times both in the states and in SE Asia. It’s different but it is really good. Like yeah it is a different coffee and if you judge it to the same criteria as a coffee style that it isn’t, of course it will fail. If a “good coffee” needs to be aggressively acidic with strong notes of papaya, pineapple, Maracuja…this is not that. It is very smooth and subtle and that is what makes it nice and different.

I really like tofu too! It’s great as it is and I would rather eat it than meat, but for me at least meat is FAR better / tastier than tofu. But like I said despite I love meat, I avoid eating it the best I can. So give me the tofu and Thanks for arguing it’s better.

This is today’s version of "Eskimos (Inuit, I know, but that’s not how the memes went) have __40 __65 250( insert your number, it won’t be wrong) words for snow. This is for the same reason and is now largely known as wrong.
The problem is even German people (I live in Germany) also believe that they have a larger more expressive language than (for example) English… When it isn’t true. German has either 5.3 million++ words or 135,000 depending on how you count them. In reality you can endlessly combine words in German together, but it very rarely makes it a “new word”.

I’ll throw down a recommendation for ground news (app). They take the news, organize it and show you the same article from left center and right. They show you your blind spots in news as well (stuff that is on the other side of you).
Anyone have anything against it or other recommendations?
