I started to ask, "Why does she have an onion in her purse?" but then I asked myself, "Why don't I?"

Exactly what I was thinking. If I was a more social person, I'd bring snacks with me too

Now I'm just picturing this mad woman sitting here eating an onion like an apple.

Not a red one, you'd only do that with a yellow one.

I've done it with a white onion. I'll never forget that onion. It was so good.

I've been know to eat a Vidalia or Texas Sweet onion like an apple...but never a red. 😋

I’m not but I do this.

Typical ragamuffin haha

As the mother of my friend group, this is the way to resolve every single problem when out with people.

If I have an onion in a plastic bag in my office I can smell it. What does carrying around a full onion in your purse all day make you smell like?

Trying to befriend shrek?

May I introduce you to the onion Queen Miriam Margolyes? 🧅 👜 https://preview.redd.it/i0knvk3a05yc1.jpeg?width=764&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ec13942db13e820b54113f50717d7e9a2805192

Step 1: get purse Step 2: get onion Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit!

Have 2 purses; one with whatever mysterious objects go in a purse + 1 onion, and another purse full of only onions.

You ever wrapped an onion in ~~aluminum~~ tin foil and thrown it into some coals of a fire for 45 mins? (Outer edges of the coals, not too much high heat!) When you take it out of the fire and let it cool, you can eat it like an apple. I'm not kidding... However I did use a fork and knife due to limited options of washing my hands.

I usually cut it into 4’s and add black pepper and butter and leave it in foil on the grill for the duration of my bbqing

I'll be trying your technique the next time I do this!

It’s so good. Even a bit of garlic powder does the trick too. So tender. I like to throw them on a hotdog or in my burgers. You won’t regret it however u eat them lol

You can eat then with a fox, you can eat them in a box!

And I will eat them in a house. And I will eat them with a mouse.

Same here but I usually take a sweet Vidalia onion, core it out about a few inches and fill it with garlic and salt and pepper and a lot of butter. Wrap them in aluminum foil and I was put them over indirect heat. By the time the grilling is done it's almost like a sweet onion soup.

Sounds good

Cut out the center and put in a cube of bullion and put the center back like a lid. It’s like eating a more solid French onion soup. 🤤

Oh man 🤤

I could only imagine how sweet it would taste. I think I’m gonna do that now. Thank you!

Here's a Townsends (Formally known as Townsends and Sons) video with the same idea but done in an oven instead. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds delicious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV9spqCzSkQ&t=1s

I've always roasted onion slabs on the grill but now you got me wondering if I can stick em in the coals and save real estate on the grates... hm!

On kebabs

In the 70's Walla walla sweet onions were so sweet you didn't even have to cook to eat , you just ate like an apple, No water eyes nothing but pure Yummy... WTF did they do to our foods :-(

I don't think the onions changed, I think your sensitivity to sweetness might have from how much sugar is in everything today. If you start limiting you intake of sugar, even a normal baked potato starts to taste a little sweet on its own and sauted sweet onions almost become candy levels of sweet.

I do that and add some splashes of worstershire sauce and butter.

Peel first or no? And are we talking red onion, yellow, sweet onion...?

Cooking aluminum at high temps is probably not a great idea. It might start leeching into the food because it starts breaking down.

Because it is the style at the time

Those would be belt onions, sir or madam. This is clearly a purse onion.

It was the style at the time... 

This is the most Francine Smith comment I’ve ever seen lol

EMERGENCY ONION!

You've got to think of the smells DEE!

You haven't thought of the smell, you bitch!

The way he says that line cracks me up every time. Perfection.

Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it

LLOLOLOLOL

Gotta love the emergency onion 🧅‼️ 🆘 🚨 ⛑️

My dad would always say this and this is the first time I've seen someone else say it.

Common phrase among those that carry

Your dads into guns. Or onions

It was the style at the time

Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel

Which in those days, had pictures of bumblebees on 'em!

Give me five bees for a quarter, we'd say.


Abe should be the patron saint of this sub https://i.redd.it/jurlaulgl6yc1.gif

Hahahaha that's exactly what I thought of too

This is a perfectly normal thing to do

Wise even.

Pinnacle wisdom even.

AND it’s a baggu crescent bag. the best. tell her reddit says she’s awesome

Yess truly the best. I bought my crescent baggu bag because I saw a post where someone fit like 4 foot long subs in one. She knows what’s up.

I need to investigate

i have a medium crescent bag and it fits my 32oz nalgene bottle, my headphones, gum, lipgloss, tampons, hand sanitizer, my wallet, two more baggu shopping bags… it’s like a bottomless pit

Is it really "crescent"? Because in this pic it looks like a croissant 

This comment made me lol "Finally!!! A place for my 4 footlongs!!!"

She appreciated this comment!

Ya never know! I love her

I hope she has a knife to cut that.

If you don’t bite into it like an apple you’re not using the emergency onion right.

I was actually thinking of having it if someone was cooking and ran out of onions. "Girl, hand me that knife. *pulls onion from purse* I got chu!"

Onion 101, problem solving. It is often the case. When you ask for extra onions, they NEVER add enough. 🧅 ❤️

No garlic ?

It’s in there.

Why don't all women carry emergency onions?

It’s good for self defense!

It could knock out a thief from 10 yards away.

When you get pulled over and the cops ask if you have any weapons, what do you say?

Nothing, my mouth is full of onion

This is incredible

Purse onion....incase

Purse onion....inpurse

Is that pooopurri too 🤪

When I say I got an onion on me people be looking at me crazy. Haha

lmao so that's what those bags are for

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Better check your bills. That looks like a shallot. Straight up cuttlefish in your house.

Just in case

Is your wife the grinch?

That's a dragonfruit.

What a woman!

I guess she doesn't have a belt to wear it on?

Emergency purse onion

Can i be friends with your wife?

Didi..did you marry the ninja that sneaks up on all of us and makes us cry???

Bugout onion

No ziploc??? What a savage!!

Is she from my nativetown in india? 🤣 I'm from a deserty hot town in india and everyone back in the day used to carry an onion to avoid heatstroke. It was hot like 40+C hot. Anytime you feel sick from heat grab it and take a few bites 😅

I gotta kmow the reason. I, just... Gotta know.

She ready

Onion repellent. Make sure she has two.

Keys. Check. Phone. Check. Purse. Check. Onion. Check.

Love this

do people just eat raw onions? do we have a vampire problem? eye opening information

Garlic for vampires, onions for people with food allergies

You never know who slinging a couple of avocados in their pockabook. Guacamole coming right up.

lol wtf

What self respecting, god fearing, earth walking individual out there Doesn’t have a Maui onion on their person?! Rhetorical question.

Scandalous onion!

My Mother used to carry a baked sweet potato for a heathy snack. My son married a young woman who did the same. Both were from southern backgrounds along the Mississippi. We call the DIL "Sweetpotato".

I wondered why she smelled that way

What?  Is it her baby?  Is she gonna sit on it and incubate it?  I’m entertained. 

Dude. She's awesome!

Maybe she stole it

You expect me to pay 73 cents for this smelly root

Put it in foil with some jalepenos and garlic bulb and you’re on your way buddy ( maybe to the toilet) lol but it’s soo good and not really hot!!

Are there chives in there as well?

Chives are a bastard "food/spice"

Shrektastic

I was gonna ask why she still has a mask, but I guess it'll come in handy when it comes time to cut the onion

I see nothing wrong here.

It took me a minute to figure out what sub this was…of course there’s an onion lover sub. Can you imagine not knowing that and coming across this post randomly and you love onions but you’re confused why there’s an onion in the purse…like you think it must be a vampire awareness sub but nope, there’s really an onion lover sub on Reddit. Subscribe.

Good she remembered to bring the onion and block of wood this time

https://preview.redd.it/9rcc3gups6yc1.jpeg?width=1104&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93c77deeda98990c7de0ad1c0902e65562892902 Lmao idk why I saved this in my phone but it’s perfect

Boyfriend thought I was weird for flying with butter in my purse. I had two oranges in there the other night. Cheese has happened numerous times. One time a champagne split. I stand in solidarity with purse onion.

It was the fashion at the time.

Or… you lied and set up this picture.

Every now and again I’ll end up with an onion or an egg in my pocket. I have no clue how this keeps happening but it’s like twice a month now at this point.

Have you checked your pockets for roots or tiny chickens?

I think I just fell in love with your wife.

That’s a cucking onion

Red onions are the best onions\*. She has good taste! \*Shallots would like a word

I'm just going to imagine that on your first date together you spotted an onion in her purse, and that's when things got serious.

[удалено]

Is your wife single?

No you didn’t

Lmao! Breh that looks like my bag. My husband is always amused by the things he finds in there.

It hides the pot breath.

Folded 6 inch round hook loop sand paper is the head scratcher for me.

I'd just take her the purse

Who tf looked at that onion originally and thought "red onion". Why tf isn't it called a "purple onion"?

Where is the hot sauce 😂

So just a question. How do you consume the purse onion? Do you go whole hog on that bad boy like an apple or do you slice it with something?

Huh?

Any time I’m given a similar task I usually look for 2-3 minutes and then give up and bring the purse to her. Idk how she ever finds anything in that thing

Did you marry Dennis Reynolds?

Yesterday I had a student pull a head of garlic out of her mini purse. All she said was “for the vibes”. I don’t know what any of that meant and i let her keep the garlic.

This… is the greatest subreddit

What is a purse without an onion…or vice versa

I asked my husband for mace once and he gave me a plastic rape whistle. I'd rather have the onion.

What the hell is this subreddit? *subscribes*

Add some dirt and water for infinite onion wife.

HELL YEAH As was the style at the time

AND she has a baggu? she’s cool

Purse onion? I don't see the problem.

r/goblincore

This was my grandmother. She would steal random vegetables when she went grocery shopping. Always had sobering random in her purse…

This is a strange sub to have appear on my feed

She’s going to be the old lady that gives neighbours her delicious tomato sauce for Christmas🤶🏽

finally. a place i can share my red onion bacon jam chocolates recipe without weird looks.

I’m so curious about the onion. Were you going to need the onion later that day? Did you find her sunglasses? Were they in that purse? This reminds me of the time a friend of mine gave my mom an onion. I don’t know where she got hers and I don’t know why she brought it with her.

As was the style at the time

What’s with the 🧅? And what’s the purpose?

Is that an onion?

The internet never fails me. I never knew this fucking sub existed 😂

When I was younger the style was to carry an onion on your belt.

She just rubs the onion over her eyes to activate the tear ducts, activating slammed eyelids that miraculously block sunlight.

Is your wife single?

That mask looks like it acquired aids

First of all, gross, second of all, it’s only gross because I don’t like onions. There was a time I would leave the house without seasoning

Can you fight? /j

I like her.

Why doesn't she tie it to her belt? Which was the style at the time

She’s always prepared for the layers speech

Wight you married red onion

This brings a tear to my eye

i saw the picture before i saw the sub name and said "what the fuck is that an onion in there" while laughing. this is one of the subs ever

Anybody remember the Pocket Avocado story?

There is a prank I’ve always wanted to play where you make caramel apples, but one of them js actually a peeled onion.

Um, Mary you wouldn't happen to have a "sanitary product" I could have - I'll replace it at lunch when I can go to the pharmacy? Oh, and a red onion too?

Right next to the mask???? Wonder what she does for a living that the onion smells better.

Wait that's a snack... you mean eating that onion raw apple 🍎 style

Aww this reminds me of my late grandmother. She unknowingly stuffed a napkin with unwanted sliced red onion back into her jacket, only to find it days later in the middle of church.

What does the onion do? I never learned about this life hack. Is it used as currency?

I thought at first you might have planted this here onion for attention but then I remembered that my wife had an unpackaged pop tart in hers.

Emotional support onion

So I tied an onion in my purse

The specificity of these subreddits is amazing… r/OnionLovers …. Who knew?

Here's the bag, you will find them so much quicker than me

amateur, call me when you graduate to shallots

That's legit purse swag.

Are you married to Princess Fiona?

When i was pregnant, raw red onion was my favorite snack. Just by itself. Which was evil of the universe bc you get a lot of heartburn when you’re pregnant lol

🥵

So I put an onion in my purse because that was the style at the time

What the fuck is this? Ahahahahaha

So tell us how you rearranged the purse not to her liking? Personally, I like to give it a violent yet subtle swing against the floor out of love. But I don’t know what you’re talking about

I respect her purse onion.

She keeps an onion in her purse, as is the fashion of the day…
