depending on whats in the waffle, this is actually a pretty low cholesterol plate. Ramen, in general, is cholesterol free. Now this has a zillion grams of sodium, but not cholesterol as the caption suggests.

Haha yeah they were just like "This looks unhealthy. I heard cholesterol is unhealthy. This = cholesterol."

I love you guys. My thoughts are almost always represented in the first couple of comments

Reminds me of the people who don't eat gluten because they think it's a gross sounding word.

u/No_Necessary_9482 6d ago

Interesting. What do you think gluten means?

7

u/rathat 6d ago

I don't think it means anything, I already know what it is, it's wheat protein.

I'm here for shits and giggles.

u/Pixel_Knight 7d ago

Waffle also would have zero cholesterol without any butter on it.

u/despairingcherry 5d ago

waffle and pancake batter typically has eggs, milk, and butter inside it, so that's not true lol.

u/Pixel_Knight 4d ago

These look like toaster waffles, and if they are anything like Eggos, despite the package saying they contain eggs and milk, the nutrition facts say they have 0mg of cholesterol.

u/Hot-Explanation-5751 6d ago

The waffle is made of butter

u/hiresometoast 6d ago

Pure butter deep fried in lard

u/Difficult-Tart-6834 6d ago

It looks like a potato waffle, those are pretty greasy. Mostly found in UK, idk if OP is British

u/Party_Cucumber_1125 6d ago

Thats possible, though you can make those cholesterol free as well by using a seed or nut oil.

2

u/SadBit8663 6d ago

Or you know baking them

1

u/Party_Cucumber_1125 5d ago

Even if you bake these, if we are assuming they are potato waffles, you would baste the outside with an oil to get them to crisp.

I always find it strange how much Americans worry about sodium in food. In my country, sodium is never mentioned as something to be aware of. Can someone explain why?

3

u/Party_Cucumber_1125 5d ago

Sodium becomes an issue when consumed in large amounts due to it raising blood pressure and causing heart issues overtime. In American foods, specifically junk foods and ready-made freezer foods, sodium is added in much higher amounts than other countries allow. Combine that with the obesity rate in America, it causes a whole slew of health issues that can result in death. While sodium isn't normally something people fret over in the US, it is something doctors will pay attention to once high blood pressure becomes a problem.

u/SteakAndIron 6d ago

Dietary cholesterol isn't bad for you

4

u/LingeringSentiments 6d ago

Is the sodium content still high if I don’t use the seasoning?

5

u/Party_Cucumber_1125 5d ago

In most cases, no, but there are some brands of ramen that have seasoned noodles. If you aren't going to use the seasoning, I recommend just getting a package of plain ramen from an Asian market, since that will list accurate nutritional information for just the noodles.

u/GuySmiley369 5d ago

Came for this comment. Cholesterol in toaster waffles=zero, cholesterol in ramen=zero. Sooooo…

2

u/Party_Cucumber_1125 5d ago

watch the dude that made this prove us all wrong and come back saying these are waffles made out of pure butter. Some Paula Dean specials with ramen butter noodles.

2

u/GuySmiley369 4d ago

I have to think whoever captioned it meant carbohydrates, but it’s the internet and idiots abound.

2

u/Party_Cucumber_1125 4d ago

You're not wrong, but then again, we are on a sub that is titled Stupid Food, so what could we really expect?

2

u/angrywords 6d ago

They probably meant carbs.

43

u/Inspector_Tragic 7d ago

This is a plate of yellow play dough. Prove me wrong!

66

u/Pixel_Knight 7d ago

There’s probably zero cholesterol in that, unless you loaded it down with butter.

Only animal products have cholesterol in them.

u/SkinnyRunningDude 7d ago

I always cringed whenever I saw "cholesterol free" get slapped on plant-based food products.

11

u/more_soul 6d ago

It’s a good way of making people eat plant based food tbh

u/SteakAndIron 6d ago

Why would they do that

7

u/robitussinlatte4life 6d ago

Cholesternawl

1

u/more_soul 5d ago

Because it’s healthy and good for the planet

3

u/iwannagohome49 6d ago

I guarantee it made at least one person buy the product

1

u/GuySmiley369 5d ago

Same as gluten free on everything in the 10’s, or fat free in the 90’s, zero carbs in the 00’s. Whatever the fad is, companies jump on it as a marketing tactic.

u/RelChan2_0 7d ago

Too yellow

u/hiresometoast 6d ago

Love potato waffles. I'll put up with this just cos I miss them so much.

u/SquirrelyMcNutz 7d ago

You slap a cheese covered burger in between two of them and you got yerself a deal!

u/-Resputin- 6d ago

More like holy Carbs, but this isn't anything crazy. But yeah, kinda dumb.

u/Skreamie 6d ago

This is instant ramen and potato waffles. Fuck all cholesterol and a bit of a struggle meal.

Cover the waffle with an egg salad, a lot of mayo, and maple syrup...
