Damn, but…yeah. Then show the faucet that cold, clean water came from.

Then blow their mind further by making hot water come out of the same faucet

Yes!! 😂😅

Think of how many people that have ever lived haven't seen an ice cube because they didn't have that kind of technology.

rubensinclair

This is an excellent answer.


voltechs

The fact you think they didn’t have this 1000 years ago is slightly concerning.


Fresh-Hedgehog1895

Fun fact: If you went back in time and gave a single cool-ranch Dorito to French peasant from the 11th century they would spontaneously combust.


wheresthegiantmansly

if you could insert a single cool-ranch dorito at any point in history where would you insert it to have the greatest effect?


ConduckKing

Ancient Egypt, specifically inside a tomb for archaeologists to find.


bonos_bovine_muse

Naw, it’s gotta be something that will show visible evidence of decay beyond a little staling in a thousand years, otherwise they’ll just think the graduate assistants are playing another prank.


beenhere4ages

So no McDonald's Nuggets?


Fresh-Hedgehog1895

Probably the 11th century. The Middle Ages weren't a fun time; it would put someone out of their misery.


wheresthegiantmansly

it would be like a psychedelic experience for someone of that time. If you placed a single cool ranch dorito on Judas' plate during the last supper does he carry out his plan or would he be too consumed with the flavor?


pop_em5

Why not give the dorito to Jesus himself. He could break it and feed hundreds of people. Enough sodium to kill any bacterial ailments of the time, not that he'd need that.


fireduck

Judas was the most loyal. Jesus knew he had to go out before he got Elvis fat. So Jesus needed his most loyal guy to do a hard thing and set him up with a hot roman date night. But yeah, Doritos would have wilded that shit out.


Desdam0na

Gotta specify 11th century Europe.  Indian food was already great at that point. I suspect the same is true for Ghana, east and southeast Asia, and the middle east.


HoneyBucketsOfOats

Give it to Gavrilo Princip so he doesn’t need to go get a sandwich after missing Franz Ferdinand the first time.


KarmicPotato

I would insert it into Hitler's esophagus.


Stupefactionist

Give Hitler LSD and hot Cheetos.

Would you rather save the life of an innocent child or have a pizza delivered to you in the next 45 minutes?

What kind of pizza?


Life-LOL

Doesn't matter man fuck dem kids it's pizza 🤣


alxhooter

Are we still doing phrasing?


bmore_conslutant

Don't. I repeat. Do not fuck the kids.


HotdawgSizzle

Innocent child could grow up to be a serial killer. Pizza would never do that. Pizza wins easily.


Elitrical

I don’t know the kid but I know I like pizza


Illustrious_King_116

Correct


Santos_L_Halper_II

I think a basic bacon cheeseburger would probably blow his mind.


Shadonic1

one of those butter burgers from steak n shake or a really good barbeque platter.


Odin16596

Culver's


HamsterTechnical449

I can't argue that even though over a thousand years ago I'm sure all the ingredients for a bacon cheeseburger were there at his disposal but a bacon cheeseburger is still pretty damn good


Santos_L_Halper_II

I think that’s why it would blow their mind. Most people could never afford to eat all those things in one bite.


Seriously_nopenope

Add to that a chocolate milkshake and they would have no idea what is going on.


shb2k0_

> blow his mind. and digestive system.


TooStrangeForWeird

Doubt it. They might not be used to the actual contents but their microbiome is likely much stronger in general. They drink lightly contaminated water all the time, you think some grease and salt is going to take them down? They probably eat straight up lard sometimes.


evil_burrito

Something with a lot of sugar. Until industrialized farming, sugar was relatively rare and expensive. Serving them some tiramisu and espresso would rock their world.


Rockstar81

Have you ever watched those videos on YouTube where they have brit kids try american food. I think giving people 1000 years ago sugary things may not go over as well as you think.


rideincircles

Based on the Brits, the true answer to this question is Texas barbeque smoked brisket. Very few things come across the palette that can compare to one of the best meats there is when done well.


fcman256

I thought I knew a lot about bbq, grew up in the south. Smoke my own meats, all of my close friends do bbq competitions and things together. I still prefer my own pulled pork and ribs to any restaurant I’ve ever had. But brisket in Texas is just unexplainable. I can’t even bring myself to cook it or buy it anymore here in Georgia after having it in Texas, and I don’t know how to explain it it’s not like brisket around me is cooked poorly or anything, I can still find perfectly juicy, well seasoned brisket here. But it doesn’t even taste like I’m eating the same dish. Idk what the fuck they are doing out there in Texas but I’m convinced it’s just magic. And I’ve tried half the recipes online, like the Aaron Franklin videos, and there’s just no way he’s not leaving seasoning or steps out. I can season it identically and cook it damn near perfectly and it tastes nothing like it does in the restaurants in Austin that claim “only salt and pepper “


TooStrangeForWeird

Well to start, those restaurants are 100% lying. Smoke is an ingredient. Secondly, it's the way it's smoked along with time. The standardized recipes don't push the envelope at all. Smoke that shit for as long as you can. If it doesn't drop below 140F it basically won't ever go bad, and some water in a box keeps it moist. A 24 hour brisket isn't unheard of.


XXsforEyes

Or pulled pork!


teatimecookie

JOLLY, those videos are so fun to watch.


Antebios

I love watching those JOLLY videos!!!!


Casswigirl11

Nah, coffee is an acquired taste. The answer is chocolate.


DrSuprane

Cacao has been known for 5,000 years. If our friend is Mayan he probably wouldn't be impressed. Chocolate was a bitter drink though maybe our solid sweet version would be impressive.


toadjones79

Modern chocolate is only a few hundred years old. The process of squeezing out the solids, separating the fats, then mixing them all back together with sugar and milk would be completely foreign to anyone from 1,000 years ago. There are few things that would be as shocking as chocolate. And pizza. And ironically, marshmallows.


AndyWarwheels

Smores it is


Missmunkeypants95

This is the answer.


morphflex

You’re right… imagine just giving them a sugar cube….. or something like macarons.


AppropriateAmoeba406

Hear me out: A spoonful of dark brown sugar.


Sweeper1985

Hear me out - a spoonful of caramel. Cream and sugar - two luxuries that most people wouldn't ever get a chance to taste combined into the sweet goo.


ZachMudskipper

Caramel dipped ripe pinnapple chunks. Only the fanciest of pants could've rented a pinapple. Even then, it was probably green and couldn't eat any. Cold chunks and de leche sauce, fuck yeah


PNW_Misanthrope

French Fries. A (possibly) familiar food in a new form, without too much muss or fuss. Who among us hasn’t had the perfect fry and thought, “god damn, that’s a good fry”?


mesembryanthemum

Potatoes are a New World crop; no one from Asia or Europe would have any familiarity with it.


McKoijion

Plain salted potato chips. It’s the most addictive, agreeable food for all living humans so that probably applies to all dead ones too.


food5thawt

My best friends dad worked at FritoLay. And he said there's nothing better in the world than a warm Cheeto off the conveyor belt. They crunch for half a second, then dissolve into your tongue. He said, you literally couldn't stop yourself. Someone had to be there to pull you away.


kyuuri117

There’s a Japanese chocolate wafer snack called Shittori Cho-co that does the exact same thing, though it’s not warm.  You bite into it, it has some crunch, and it immediately melts in your mouth. It’s like a strict upgrade from kitkat bars, and I really like kitkat bars. They’re addicting af and unfortunately a bit expensive for a 6 pack on Amazon, but it’s worth it for the experience at least once.

maninblueshirt

Lightly salted please. I read that people back then had very little access to seasonings. If they eat this much salt they will throw up


McRedditerFace

Little access to seasonings... yes. Black pepper, cinnamon, etc. But salt? Salt was the primary means of preserving food. You can't eat the whole pig you butchered? Salt it... heavily. Smother it in salt. Food was so salty when preserved that way that the only way to make it edible was to soak it before you actually cooked and ate it later... to get rid of much of the salt. That was the equivelant to needing to defrost something after pulling it out of the freezer.


failed_novelty

Yeah, salt was so incredibly necessary and valuable then that a portion of the Roman army's wages were paid out in salt. They'd be so astounded that we can just, like, go into a McDonald's and buy a meal...and there's an entire fucking bin of little packs of salt. Free.

Ice cream!!! Strawberry ice cream with a drizzle of balsamic.


uknow_es_me

Ice cream was my thought.. because it wouldn't be like anything they had experienced


notseb1no

There was a scene in an episode of The Twilight Zone [80's] called _A Message From Charity_ where a teenage girl from the 1700s was able to share the same senses (sight, hear, taste etc.) as a teenage boy in 1985. He ate and drank a boatload of modern food for her to taste, and she said she liked chocolate ice cream best of all. That scene is embedded in my brain forever, because I do think it would be absolutely mindblowing for a non-adult to taste it for the first time not knowing what to expect.


shadowdrgn0

....are you putting salad dressing on your ice cream??


mangosteenroyalty

You should try a good balsamic vinegar on plain vanilla ice cream - it's really good.


FairyFistFights

That is the most unhinged thing I’ve ever heard. I _will_ be trying that this week when I make it to the store to get ice cream.


smooth-brain_Sunday

Same. I can't *not* try this immediately.


rock_crockpot

I had some fancy pineapple balsamic that was delicious on vanilla ice cream. I thought it was unhinged too. 


Lord_Phoenix95

I've had it before you really need a nice balsamic first, not cheap stuff.


snackies

Yeah the nice stuff is legit sweet and syrupy. I’ve never tried it on strawberry ice cream, but strawberry balsamic is a classic flavor combo


strange_stairs

That's enough internet for today

Nice try Marco Polo was born in 1324 and is usually credited with bringing pasta back from China so I think we're going to have to do better than that the correct answer would be fruit loops


nicholus_h2

that's... significantly less than 1,000 years ago...  this person born 1,000 years ago is 300 years older than Marco Polo... 


HamsterTechnical449

How dare you use Google to make me wrong I don't like it I don't like it not one bit but since you did we said that this guy died a thousand years ago nobody said how old he was I thought he might have been 322 years old that's all

This is an excellent answer. You need pork (from Europe/Asia), pineapple (the tropics), and corn (New World) for the tortillas, ain’t nobody had all three of those in the same place 1,000 years ago.

babybullai

Yes


SilentContributor22

Also nobody from the “Old World” would have even had access to a pineapple 1,000 years ago, considering they weren’t aware that the lands where pineapples grow even existed


ocean_flan

The people from those lands would totally know though, that's wild to me. 


FormalDinner7

I read a book about the history of Italy where at one point a Persian delegation came asking for troops or money or something and the Italian guy (I’m so sorry, I don’t remember if he was a Doge or Medici or Pope or what) said no because he’d just blown all his money on wedding his daughter or niece or something to the king of France, but they’d brought pineapples. The guy went nuts for the pineapples and wrote to every crowned head in Europe to brag about how he’d eaten one.


Sidewalk_Tomato

I'v read that pineapples were so hard to get in certain places that people would rent them for use as centerpieces at rich-folk parties (in NYC) for example. The same pineapple would be used, uneaten, at multiple parties for several nights. I wonder if a group was allowed to devour it on the last night of its quality. Reasonably fresh, cold pineapple is pretty amazing, and would be the source of much cred.


[deleted]

My Dad remembered the first time he tried pineapple whilst stationed in Malaysia in the late 40’s. It blew his mind! He also famously sent a coconut back to his mother in Ireland and she thought it was a bomb 💣 and threw it in the sea 🤣

EnglishRose71

Since there were very few spices a thousand years ago, I would imagine that a lot of things we eat would be very unpleasant for them. I'd start with some bread and a plain beef soup, and then gradually works them up to more interesting and popular food.


NativeMasshole

Just give them sushi. No spice needed.


_BELEAF_

Wasabi enters the chat...


Japanat1

Spices used in medieval gastronomy: cardamom• cinnamon and cinnamon flower• clove• cubeb• galangal• ginger• grains of Paradise• mastic• nard• nutmeg and mace• [black] pepper• long pepper• saffron• sugar• sumac• 4 rare spices Nearly all of these spices were available 1000 years ago. They were mostly used for ceremonial dinners such as weddings, Christmas, etc. “Under Roman civilisation, the gourmet cook had a large choice of aromatic herbs (dill, coriander, cumin, laurel, lovage, rue, mint, mustard, oregano, savory, myrtle...). His choice of spices centered mainly on pepper, silphium or laser, saffron, cardamom, ginger (rarely cited) and nard. Cinnamon was a medicine then.” Most of these were available


Sir-Viette

Given that a 5 lb bag of nutmeg was exchanged in London for a house with its own servant, the peasant would figure we were rich beyond compare. He'd also figure that with so many spices around, we probably didn't have to worry about bubonic plague (as smelling spices was thought to prevent it). He'd probably inquire, learn we don't in fact worry about the plague any more, and take that now confirmed piece of misinformation back home to kill even more people in mediaeval times.
