It's because most people don't really like raisins so most people aren't going out of their way to get raisins. We only saw them a bunch growing up because there was an ad campaign.
I don't even know what kind of container they come in anymore. Raisins are weird and niche af if you think about it.

Ceci n'est pas une raisin
Un*
I was just using the wording from the painting. Is there a reason why it would be different for the word raisin instead of pipe?

Raisin is masculine so it gets 'un' but pipe is feminine so it gets 'une'. Gendered languages are interesting.
Pipe is feminine?!
Yep! A mouse is feminine. A horse is masculine. A car is feminine. A fridge is masculine. A door is feminine. A bed is masculine.
Sure, but a pipe is completely phallic. Please tell me flower and clam are feminine
In French, that is. Other gendered languages might be totally different, or even have 'genders' other than masculine/feminine.
Makes learning German or French easier
Go lie on the ground in your kitchen and check with a flashlight under all the furniture and whatnot. There's bound to be a few.
My hubby has that problem too when he’s taking a shower. His BMI is off the scale.
Wow. Smart joke structure, but mean.
Yeah, thanks to Lemmy I’m getting pretty good at this.
All died of heroin overdose.
The store has them.
I find this response good and funny.
Also not to make it weird but I haven't been to a grocery store in years because I have agoraphobia, and I hadn't even thought about that part. 😅
They'll literally even bring them to you, anymore.
ordering grocery delivery for a single teeny tiny box of raisins, as a bit
(don't actually do that though, if you want to order some raisins get the rest of your groceries with it haha)

On an unrelated note, a joke I remember from my childhood, which I'll now butcher because it's been a few decades:
Person goes to grocery store, asks if they have apples. "We do" "Good, can you give me 10, individually bagged?"
Next day: "Do you have carrots?" "Yes, we do" "Can you give me 5 of them, individually bagged?"
Day after that: "Do you have raisins?" "NO, we do not sell raisins here!"
Trail mix is an underrated snack with raisins, it's very filling
GORP
I work with raisins on a daily basis.
Me too. They're a pain amirite? Especially that one who always makes meetings take forever.
my grandma used to eat raisins and now she's dead
My dog ate raisins and the internet said he should be dead
Raisin Bran is my favorite cereal so I can't relate.
Only way I can tolerate raisins.
I love em and see them all the time. Same with peanuts. Good ole raisins and peanuts.
Next time I am in a store, imma be looking for raisins now.
I bake with them pretty often
Ooh it was for real? I thought it was wordplay on "I haven't seen a raise in 15 years"
I have a bag of raisins in my pantry.
You sure they're still there?
Yep, I had a handful when I got home from work.
My nephew ate them all.
I have some in the pantry if you need them. Still good, they were not part of the cleanup!
Maybe you should wash your dishes.
You must not like oatmeal cookies cause I can promise you they’re still there
Have they not discovered chocolate chips yet where you are?
Don’t need to be specific. Both can be used and be fire
All of the solar panels took away the sun and the grapes can't dry out anymore. /s
Raisins went out with the macarena
I just encountered some in a bag of snack mix the other day. It was not an experience I cared for.
Sultanas > Currants > Raisins

Consider it a blessing
Good. Dried fruits should have died out with the mass adoption of refridgeration
Even dried bananas or dried cherries with dark chocolate!?
Because they are garbage and nobody eats them anymore. Maybe you get them in a full dish if you are unlucky.
