Everyone has that one wildly popular food they just don’t understand the hype around. Maybe you’ve tried it more than once, hoping it would finally click, and it never did.
User jacksuckschicken on Reddit asked, “What food gets way too much love for how mediocre it is?” and some of the responses might end up hurting your feelings:
1.
“Truffle oil. It’s basically just synthetic chemical flavoring that ruins everything it touches.”
–lonethrowawaymoss
2.
“Lobster. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fine, but it’s certainly not worth the price. There are plenty of cheaper seafood options that are much better.”
–caring-renderer
3.
“Dot cakes. Sure, they look appealing and all, but…it’s just cake (or a cupcake). Literally nothing special — just cake, frosting, and sprinkles. People act as if it’s the best thing ever.”

4.
“Overnight oats. I get that they’re slightly more convenient, but they’re just cold, mushy sadness in a jar.”
–ForgottenSalad
5.
“Macarons. They’re always wildly underwhelming for what they cost.”
–MisterPantsMang
6.
“Caviar is very expensive, and like…just fine. I don’t think it’s bad, but how someone could justify $100 for a small tin of it, I will never understand.”
–TheSoup05
7.
“Hate to say it, but bacon. Don’t get me wrong, I like cured pork, but some people treat it like it’s the nectar of the gods and that it will improve everything. I’m sorry, but throwing bacon on a burger doesn’t automatically make it better.”

“Boba. I’ve never once been drinking something and thought, ‘Wow, I wish I could also be slurping up snake eggs alongside this beverage.'”
–ellus1onist

“People rave about In-N-Out like they’re the only chain that makes a hamburger. I finally got to try it on a work trip to Texas. I was absolutely starving, so anything should’ve been great. It was the most mundane fast food experience I’d ever had.”
–RedDawnWlvrines

“Chicken and waffles have never tasted right to me. I like both and enjoy them separately, but somehow, together they make each other worse.”
–kinreep
11.
“Poke bowls. Pay $15 to $20 for rice, $2 worth of unseasoned ingredients, and the most mediocre sauce you’ll ever eat.”
–Samuraibutts
12.
“Anything with lavender. By the time there’s enough to actually taste it, there’s too much, and it tastes like you’re eating potpourri.”
–Feyranna
13.
“Dragon fruit. It definitely tastes good, but not as good as the hype suggests.”
–Avalanche_Snows
14.
“Avocado. It’s fine, but the craze to add it to everything is dumb.”
–External_Fun3018
15.
“I’m Cuban. Cuban sandwiches are mid 95% of the time unless they’re made with homemade pulled pork and fresh bread.”
–sum_dude44
16.
“Kombucha. It’s expensive and tastes like a child’s science experiment.”
–Outside_Performer_66
18.
“Giant burgers that cost $28 and are piled high with too many ingredients.”
–hiro111
19.
“Kraft Mac & Cheese. That stuff is garbage.”
–DerProfessor
20.

–cptgrooo
21.
“Macadamia nuts. All crunch, no flavor, and not worth the cost.”
–flgirl-353
22.
“I’ll probably get crucified for this, but honestly…chicken nuggets.”
–Demievil
23.
“Burrata. Just unseasoned cheese water.”
–10footcook
