Caramelized Onions Take Forever

This took like an hour and a half Why does every recipe lie about how long it takes to caramelize onions? 20 minutes lmao come on You can add Baking Soda, or a shot of urine (I know it sounds weird but it cooks out like alcohol) to speed it up...almost every Mexican restaurant does this

A screenshot of a social media post showing onions raw in a pan and then deeply caramelized. The joke is that recipes vastly underestimate how long caramelizing onions takes, followed by an absurd claim about using baking soda or urine to speed up the process.
