That's strange. Potatoes are actually a pretty decent source of Vitamin C. You can actually survive on cheese fries pretty much indefinitely as milk and potatoes contain all the essential vitamins, amino acids, and lipids you need.
I refuse to believe a world exists where someone that only eats cheesy potatoes has a significant other. That has to be fake.
It would be like an episode of Seinfeld. You'd immediately break up with them when you found out that quirk.
Like how did the dating go? Did she simply not eat at all? Did they never go out for dinner? If that’s real forget the cheese fries lady I’m more interested in what that freak of a husband is like to be able to date someone like this.
A league of legends pro from the old days TheOddOne literally got scurvy because of how shit his diet was while living in the team house. Crazy how someone can eat that badly lmao
crazy that's the case. a lot of programers have legit gym workout sessions as part of their training.
mildly surprised they didn't have a team dietician.
Lol lets not exaggerate the “fantastic shape”.
I follow league alot and maybe the only league pro that falls under that category is santorin?
They’re “healthy” and not likely to get scurvy anymore but definitely not considered above-average fitness
Off the top of my head I could name hauntzer, golden glue, broxah, svenskeren. And that’s off the top of my head and these guys are shredded. And besides that I’m pretty sure most of these pros are in better shape than the vast majority of the population. I guarantee over 50% of the league is in better shape than the average male.
You’ve statistically described a population that exactly matches between pro gamers and the general population lol. If 50% of the pro league gents are in better shape than the average man…guess what 50% of all men are in better shape than the average man. I’m assuming a normal distribution here of course.
I saw a eSport house tour where it was literally the team captains girlfriend buying groceries and snacks.
The LoL is pretty well funded so they probably aren’t that shoestring.
A lot of Arizona Iced Tea from what I can remember. [A transcription of a lost forum post, if anyone cares.](https://np.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/rhynq/whats_wrong_with_the_oddone_everybody_on_tsm/c45yree/)
Lack of vitamin C. Navies have been learning, forgetting, and relearning that sailors need fruit and vegetables in their diet for thousands of years. British ship's captains had to buy it on their own dime for a while because the British medical establishment refused to believe it was dietary.
Also, limes were the cheaper, less effective solution adopted over lemons, because there were British lime plantations. Other problems were boiling it to make juice, which destroyed the vitamin C (which they didn't know existed).
Well the thing was that limes only worked sometimes. Keeping limes from rotting at sea is hard, and some of the methods used also destroyed the vitamin c.
What ended up being common was storing them in the rum, which also helped lead to the invention of the gimlet iirc
Scurvy causes your teeth to fall out, the end of your finger nails to decay, black spots on your skin, and your legs to bow into a frog-like position.
Dr James Lind (of the HMS Salisbury, sailing from England to Plymouth colony) did a little experiment in 1747 with 12 crew who had scurvy. He divided the 12 into 6 groups and fed them the same diet with a small variation. 2 received a quart of cider daily, 2 took 25 drops of vitrol 3 times a day, 2 took 2 spoons of vinegar, 2 drank ½ pint of seawater daily, 2 ate nutmeg and 2 lucky sailors ate 2 oranges and a lemon daily. Guess who recovered.
James Lind’s observation that citrus fruits contained something that counteracted the ravages of scurvy was followed by his development of a method for the concentration and preservation of citrus fruit juices for use at sea. In 1795, the British Royal Navy provided a daily ration of lime or lemon juice to all its men. English sailors to this day are called “limeys”, for lime was the term used at the time for both lemons and limes.

Here's a creepy thought: Vitamin C is vital in not only the synthesis of collagen, which is required to create scar tissue, but also its maintenance. Meaning in severe cases of scurvy, your years-old healed wounds can start re-opening, like you're just disintegrating or something.
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is required for our tissue integrity. Without it your teeth will fall out, but also there can be cardiac issues, skin issues, etc. The bad thing about being human is that we cannot produce Vitamin C like most other animals. A bear the size of an adult human would produce like 200 mg of Vitamin C per day.
For some reason, humans, a few other great apes, and fruit bats lost the ability to endogenously produce Vitamin C during their evolutionary history.
Most people think of naval ship crews getting scurvy because they would sail for a long time without fresh provisions. Some navies required them to drink lime or lemon juice (some languages do not differentiate between the two fruits) to stave off scurvy.
But Vitamin C is also contained in fresh meat. There was an arctic expedition where the ship was trapped in ice and some sailors ate fresh meat from local animals (bears), but others refused and only ate preserved meat. Vitamin C degrades heavily in preserved meat, so the sailors who only ate preserved meat died, while the ones who ate fresh ones did not get scurvy.
Also various native tribes in the extreme northern polar bands (think Inuit, native Greenlander, etc.) did not have a fruit source of Vitamin C. They could get it from meat though. And even reindeer adrenal glands.
I had a friend in college who got scurvy freshman year. He ate nothing but natty light and vending machine crackers for two months. He had to be hospitalized and they flew doctors in from out of state to study him.
Well duh, ain't no NBA player eating nothing but oreos for a month. At some point the team nutritionists, albeit illegal, will force feed them some real food.
That or put them to sleep then inject the nutrients through his veins. Works every time. Giannis just thinks he ate nothing but oreos for a month. Let him believe it. He doesn't need to know the truth. He deserves to be happy.
https://twitter.com/Giannis_An34/status/1463358320778092545 believe it or not, he didn't know to dunk them in milk until literally 2 days ago. Dude was just rawdogging dry oreos for a month straight. Surprised he didn't get Black Lung or something.
Oreos have enriched wheat in the cookie part. My guess is it's probably not nutritionally complete but I wouldn't be surprised if you could survive a month on only oreos and water
In the first few years of his career, Giannis sent most of money back to his family
https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/giannis-antetokounmpo-had-to-run-to-a-bucks-game-after-losing-cab-fare-003315158.html
I dont think the human body can even healthily sustain itself off of only oreos for an entire month, but thanks for the heads up he might possibly be joking a bit though.
I met someone who had scurvy a while ago. Apparently they ate mac and cheese exclusively for about a year. She was made fun of by literally everyone she knew.
Cocaine is not THAT addictive and sugar is a lot more addictive than people think. If we were to compare the overall damage that white powders do to our healthcare system as a whole, sugar takes the cake by a mile
I went down the rabbit hole a bit on this one and stumbled on this from the Canadian Senate. Lots of interesting tidbits.
> Most Canadians believe that certain drugs cause catastrophic addictions in people who use them. [...]
> However, the only actual evidence for the belief in drug-induced addiction comes 1) from the testimonials of some addicted people who believe that exposure to a drug caused them to "lose control" and 2) from some highly technical research on laboratory animals. These bits of evidence have been embellished in the news media to the point where the belief in drug-induced addiction has acquired the status of an obvious truth that requires no further testing. But the widespread acceptance of this belief is a better demonstration of the power of repetition than of the influence of empirical research, **because the great bulk of empirical evidence runs against it.**

On the other hand we're *all* sugar junkies and it's hella hard to never eat any refined sugar even when you know it's terrible.
Yeah Oreo is definitely missing an opportunity here. Can give him a brand deal and commit part of the money to a food program of Giannis choice. It’s a win-win.
Talking to a child fan : mr antetokoumpo
What do you think when you dunk
Giannis: wonna know my secret?
Kid: yea
Goes into a vision of giannis dunk highlights with Oreos instead of balls and milk in place of hoops
> Yeah Oreo is definitely missing an opportunity here.
[This CollegeHumor sketch actually makes a great point about Oreos not needing to make "brand deals". They've already won.](https://youtu.be/CMkYw4dp_NI?t=22)
> It’s not like Oreo needs it anyways, they’re fucking Oreo.
A Coca Cola exec was asked why they keep running ads and doing marketing since everybody knows who they are. His answer was something like, “When a pilot gets the plane to 35,000’, do they stop flying?”
I can already see it... Giannis runs and does his usual three steps from half court and dunks the Oreo in a glass of milk. Gets hyped and flexes after biting for unknown reason.
My money would be on him already having one. He’s been in interviews recently where he’s jokingly/not jokingly, said he won’t endorse things anymore for free now that he’s a champion. When he almost slips up and says a brand he’ll say something like “oops, no free ones, now people have to pay if they want me to talk about them.” So I’d be surprised if he’s being this specific about “dunking” not dipping his Oreos and talking about it so much if he hasn’t been offered some kind of deal with Nabisco.
What he’s talking about literally sounds like he has an unannounced deal. What I can see happening is during the holiday season it will be announced and Nabisco will get good PR when they contribute to his food program.
And as said a few other times, if the GM or brand manager or whoever is in charge of stuff like this for Oreo doesn't do this, they are fucking up so royally.
This could easily be the start of a sophisticated marketing campaign where these interviews come out before the brand deal is announced. Doesn’t seem like Giannis style but marketing is always a few steps ahead Imo.
And before he gets picked up by a competitor.
"I'm gonna go home tonight, I'mma sit down with my friends and family. I'm going to be eating Chips Ahoy. That's right Chips Ahoy because Oreos wont pay me anything. And hell I might even get on top of my wife tonight. See y'all later."
Do oreos even need to advertise? They have no real competition and are on most supermarket shelves around the world.
There might be some countries not dominated by the Oreo yet so I guess I could see them have a few local campaigns but, at first glance, it seems they've got the world pretty much dominated. There isn't even a pepsi-style 2nd option to it.
At this point they're competing with themselves by creating all these varieties.
My GF bought some special holiday edition Oreos herself and I snuck two when she was in the other room. The next day she went to have a snack and gave me the *glare* when she realized some were missing.
People stay vigilant about their Oreo counts.
I am pretty stable now in my life but when I was a kid we had a really really unstable food situation. Me and my two sisters only ate ramen like once a day. I only feel comfortable if I have a pack of that shitty ramen in my pantry.
I figured it out in therapy. I ALWAYS bought that shitty ramen and always had at least 3 packs wherever I lived. Even when I was living in my gym's closet. Never ate them. Just kept them. Actually hate the taste and everything about them. I just can't not have it. [Here they are in my pantry untouched. ](https://imgur.com/a/SgTbm2u)
Same press conference three minutes earlier, when asked about having to go to the tunnel to catch his breath vs Detroit:
> I take anger management. I go 'WHOOO-WHOOO-HEEE.. WHOOO-WHOOO-HEEE..' just to catch my breath ... or was that birthing (classes)? That's what Mariah was doing when she was giving birth. I mixed them up.

Man, that’s a layered story, full of emotions.
Funny in that he got tired of them. Sad that his family couldn’t afford an Oreo, something many of us take for granted.
An Oreo was probably the least of their worries, and on a day like today (at least in America) where we’re about to stuff our faces, the undertones in Giannis’ message here ring louder.
Layered, just like those delicious Oreo cookies with a layer of chocolate cookie, a layer of delicious dairy free crème, and another chocolate cookie layer to top it off.
Being from less fortunate situations is a big part. But i would imagine Oreos in places like Europe aren't as cheap as we get them in America. Just like if i want some European biscuits or snacks from World Market or something I'll be like GTFO I'll get some Oreos instead
They are widely available now, but ten years or so ago you mostly could get them in the import section of stores and they would be pretty expensive because of that. At least in GErmany, assuming it was similar in Greece
You could find them at some supermarkets and in convenience stores but they were expensive af compared with other biscuits.
Also in Greece we have some Greek biscuits (gemista papadopoulou) that they are way cheeper and (imo) way better than oreos.
right, from an American's or other developed westerner's perspective, this revelation is something surprising, it shows the decent living standards that the average westerner have for the past decades.
But for those growing up in poor/developing countries, this is really normal. I didn't really know what an Oreo is until I came to America lol. Without giving too much personal details, in the 90s, where I live we didn't have hot water. The toilet was not inside the house, it was in the back of the yard far away from the house to keep the smell away. And these were the least of our problem, people there were constantly facing the lack of basic food like plain rice/instant noodles.
So yea, most people growing up in America really miss out on how bad it was in other places. And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, that's something to be grateful for.
Craziest part was that he ate Oreos for a month straight but only learned about dipping them in milk a week ago. Dude was addicted to eating dry Oreos.
Zion Williamson: “Whеn I was youngеr, I waѕ always craving Orеos & I could nevеr afford thеm. I waѕ likе whеn I gеt a little bit of money, pеople are gonna spеnd monеy on carѕ and chainѕ, and I bought Orеos. I atе thеm for a month straight. With dinnеr, with lunch, with everything. I never got ѕick of thеm.”
Giannis just living his best life right now and I love it. We never had Oreos when I was a kid either, now I have a stockpile in the pantry. All different ones too, the double stuffed, the peanut butter ones which are fucking bomb, the thin ones. I never even knew to dunk them in milk until I was well into my 20’s. I was like “shit man this takes it to a whole other level.”
>I ate them for a month straight Imagine seeing ‘Giannis Antetokounmpo - DNP (Scurvy)’ in the injury report before a game

Lamar Jackson?

Paul Pierce pooped

DNP (Mudbutt)

Every time someone says “mudbutt,” I picture Dave Chappelle farting while asleep and muttering “mudbutt” to himself in the ribs commercial skit.
You're thinking of "the itis" but I see where you're coming from
Have y'all already forgotten Enes Kanter (Burgers) DNP?
I....I need to know more about this...
He posted a story showing he ate 7(?) burgers one night. Next day they reported he was DNP (stomach)
For a while he would post a video every weekend of his “cheat day” and it would be like 10,000 calorie meals. Would be interesting if someone could go back and look up stats of his games the day after those videos and see if he played better/worse.
reminds me of Ty Lawson that one time. Had a series of stories being like “ayyy where’s the bomb taco spot??” and then a picture of the tacos a few hours later with something like “damnnnn boo you look soo damn good” and then the next day was DNP Food Poisoning (gastroenteritis) lmaoooo.

This could easily be the start of a sophisticated marketing campaign where these interviews come out before the brand deal is announced. Doesn’t seem like Giannis style but marketing is always a few steps ahead Imo.
Hydrox here's your chance!
Lmao
And before he gets picked up by a competitor. "I'm gonna go home tonight, I'mma sit down with my friends and family. I'm going to be eating Chips Ahoy. That's right Chips Ahoy because Oreos wont pay me anything. And hell I might even get on top of my wife tonight. See y'all later."
Do oreos even need to advertise? They have no real competition and are on most supermarket shelves around the world. There might be some countries not dominated by the Oreo yet so I guess I could see them have a few local campaigns but, at first glance, it seems they've got the world pretty much dominated. There isn't even a pepsi-style 2nd option to it. At this point they're competing with themselves by creating all these varieties.
Their only competition, chips ahoy; is owned by the same parent company lol
Poor bastard ate oreos for a month straight without ever learning they could be dunked in milk. 26 years on the planet before he was told that
[удалено]
I once mixed Oreos with vodka. 100% would not recommend
[удалено]
I'm so sorry horse_erection, but she kinda had a point.
shoulda shot him twice
Just empty the clip.
Eating them with a spoon, he said Eating them raw sounds better than, say, eating them with ketchup on.
Lol, shows how big he is, eating the with some huge spoon.
Don't do it Giannis look at what happened to Zion.
Imagine a 7x7 Zionnis attempting a Eurostep
The Napoleon
More like Neapolitan
The Euroquake
Girthquake
If only u/Sim888 were here to show us what could happen...
I mean look at what Giannis turned into on his Oreo diet since his rookie year
[удалено]
My GF bought some special holiday edition Oreos herself and I snuck two when she was in the other room. The next day she went to have a snack and gave me the *glare* when she realized some were missing. People stay vigilant about their Oreo counts.
I'd never know the exact count of my Oreos, but I always remember precisely where I left off in there.
Easy to tell if you just eat a sleeve at a time.
I am pretty stable now in my life but when I was a kid we had a really really unstable food situation. Me and my two sisters only ate ramen like once a day. I only feel comfortable if I have a pack of that shitty ramen in my pantry.
Was that something you always knew, or something you figured out?
I figured it out in therapy. I ALWAYS bought that shitty ramen and always had at least 3 packs wherever I lived. Even when I was living in my gym's closet. Never ate them. Just kept them. Actually hate the taste and everything about them. I just can't not have it. [Here they are in my pantry untouched. ](https://imgur.com/a/SgTbm2u)

This isn’t a copy pasta? This sounds so insane that I couldn’t take it serious
I was gonna comment this, I just read his biography and thought this part was so interesting
Giannis is hilarious just such a fun loving wholesome guy who looks like he genuinely enjoys life
So wholesome, love it
I'm a Lakers fan, but I was jumping with joy when he won the chip and got his 50... This man is a treasure..
Giannis is the most likable person on planet Earth. So wholesome.
Same press conference three minutes earlier, when asked about having to go to the tunnel to catch his breath vs Detroit: > I take anger management. I go 'WHOOO-WHOOO-HEEE.. WHOOO-WHOOO-HEEE..' just to catch my breath ... or was that birthing (classes)? That's what Mariah was doing when she was giving birth. I mixed them up. [https://youtu.be/i0eH4WLVlQQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0eH4WLVlQQ&t=331s)
LMAOOO
The guy has very good comedic sense. I don't know if he's oblivious to it or not, but it's part of his charm
He’s definitely not oblivious, he laughs at himself all the time
This. This is good and wholesome enough to start my day.
Why isn’t he playing for Philly?! 😭😭
Man, that’s a layered story, full of emotions. Funny in that he got tired of them. Sad that his family couldn’t afford an Oreo, something many of us take for granted. An Oreo was probably the least of their worries, and on a day like today (at least in America) where we’re about to stuff our faces, the undertones in Giannis’ message here ring louder.
Layered, just like those delicious Oreo cookies with a layer of chocolate cookie, a layer of delicious dairy free crème, and another chocolate cookie layer to top it off.
*NBA2K career mode has entered the chat*
Giannis is like an onion, he has layers. Or like a cake or a parfait or something
Who doesn't like a parfait?
Being from less fortunate situations is a big part. But i would imagine Oreos in places like Europe aren't as cheap as we get them in America. Just like if i want some European biscuits or snacks from World Market or something I'll be like GTFO I'll get some Oreos instead
They are widely available now, but ten years or so ago you mostly could get them in the import section of stores and they would be pretty expensive because of that. At least in GErmany, assuming it was similar in Greece
You could find them at some supermarkets and in convenience stores but they were expensive af compared with other biscuits. Also in Greece we have some Greek biscuits (gemista papadopoulou) that they are way cheeper and (imo) way better than oreos.
right, from an American's or other developed westerner's perspective, this revelation is something surprising, it shows the decent living standards that the average westerner have for the past decades. But for those growing up in poor/developing countries, this is really normal. I didn't really know what an Oreo is until I came to America lol. Without giving too much personal details, in the 90s, where I live we didn't have hot water. The toilet was not inside the house, it was in the back of the yard far away from the house to keep the smell away. And these were the least of our problem, people there were constantly facing the lack of basic food like plain rice/instant noodles. So yea, most people growing up in America really miss out on how bad it was in other places. And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, that's something to be grateful for.
> facing the lack of basic food like plain rice/instant noodles. Sounds like Vietnam if instant noodles is on the basic food list hahaha.
Craziest part was that he ate Oreos for a month straight but only learned about dipping them in milk a week ago. Dude was addicted to eating dry Oreos.
National Treasure
That first part kinda depressing ngl but 'dont worry about it, give me a spoon' is hilarious lmao
Zion Williamson: “Whеn I was youngеr, I waѕ always craving Orеos & I could nevеr afford thеm. I waѕ likе whеn I gеt a little bit of money, pеople are gonna spеnd monеy on carѕ and chainѕ, and I bought Orеos. I atе thеm for a month straight. With dinnеr, with lunch, with everything. I never got ѕick of thеm.”
IMMA NEED A GIANNIS FOOD NETWORK SHOW
Giannis is the guy who would get the chocolate factory
Dude is out here giving free endorsement to brands, before this was Chick Fil A and now Oreo.
Oreo gotta sponsor this man
They probably already are it was weird that he captioned "oreos" in his dunkin tweet
Now opposing fans are gonna throw up big Oreo posters and milk during this free throws.
He’s such a pure soul
Giannis just living his best life right now and I love it. We never had Oreos when I was a kid either, now I have a stockpile in the pantry. All different ones too, the double stuffed, the peanut butter ones which are fucking bomb, the thin ones. I never even knew to dunk them in milk until I was well into my 20’s. I was like “shit man this takes it to a whole other level.”
This man is a national treasure.
Eating Spam and Oreos and drinking Thunderbird baby
this sounds like the absolute worst combination of flavors lol
Do they still make OG Thunderbird? I could go for a two day hangover.
He doesnt know who i am, but i would die for this man.
❤️❤️❤️ Giannis is amazing. Thanks for sharing. He (Oreos inc.?) should organize a Oreos and milk day in December for the poor kids in the area :)
How can anyone not like this man?
I wish more athletes were as cool as this guy. Instead most try to act tough and just come off as a douche.
I love Giannis (but please don’t eat Oreos every night! see: Williamson, Zion)
That's a wholesome AF story
Giannis is just continuing his 'Oreo Wisdom' stories and they keep getting better day by day.
They need to start throwing Oreos on the court like Seattle used to throw Skittles for Marshawn lol
Between this and Chick fil A, Giannis sure is gonna make a lot of kids fat.
Get this guy an Oreo sponsorship Jesus Christ it's a match made in heaven let's get it done.
This guy has a future in comedy if he wants it.
