“I Refuse To Believe A Single Soul Wants To Eat It”: 35 People Share Overhyped Foods

Never been a fan. I'm shortbread all the way!

I don't mind it, especially on Christmas cake with marzipan. Trick is not to have it too thick and eat it evenly with the sponge

My friend is a professional cake artist and she makes her own fondant and it's actually quite good. I've had it a few times as she's made a few cakes for me.

I don't use it often, but when it's requested I make my own. Homemade fondant is different (or at least the recipe I've use). Store bought always tastes strange like waxy, sweet chemicals 😖 if you make it at home, you can adjust the sweetness, consistency, and even add flavoring.

I much prefer buttercream. You can also decorate fairly well with it and it tastes much better.

I dunno, I've had fondant that tastes like play-dough... and some that had a nicer frosting-like flavor...

I made fondant once (for a barbie cake) tasted like bubble gum

Fondant lover here, my parents refuse to buy fondant for cakes anymore after I ate an entire fondant elephant topper. Delicious

Ugh, too sweet!

Dude, homemade marshmallow fondant is so good it's stupid, lol

If it's a choice between pretty and tasty I vastly prefer my cake to be ugly. In that same vein food colouring is overrated. I love galaxy/rainbow/otherwise vibrantly coloured cakes for their looks, but they don't look appetizing to me. (And for a bonus: when asked about a flavour "Red Velvet" or "Birthday Cake" are not acceptable answers)

Not a cake person in general so

The ONLY reason why is it's handled with bare hands most of the time

Can't stand how chemically it tastes

it's just marshmallow and flour...I love it

It tasted different when I was younger. It wasn't as malleable and easy to use either.

Sooooo... I guess I'm weird for actually liking fondant 😅. Like, I peel it off and eat it separately in the end.

It's great to make pretty cakes but once the cake is cut, you just peel it off and eat the cake

I am that single soul. I love it.

I like it.

I love fondant. I prefer it to the actual cake.

A store bought navy I bough recently was “vanilla” flavoured and it’s actually really yummy

i like fondant...its not overly sweet

What’s wrong with condensed frosting?

I think fondant is 100% meant to be decorative and not actually kill you if accidentally eaten - NOT with the actual intent that you Deliberately Eat it. Just my opinion tho.

Tbh i love fondant but too much does make me feel sick

I do

can confirm. my bio mom ordered a fondant cake for our baby shower. i do not like fondant and she knows this. she asked what i wanted. i told her a strawberry sheet cake with those icing flowers on it in pink and yellow. she ordered a 3 tier fondant cake (no strawberry flavoring) and wanted us to keep the top half in the freezer to eat once our kid was a year old. it was so gross. we did NOT keep the top half.

All the handling of the stuff turns me off

I scrape it off and eat the cake and filling. It's physical beauty is beyond compare though, so it's worth it.

I make my fondant homemade and it tastes better than the commercial stufg

I want to taste it.

Vile stuff. And hides ordinary boring cake too

I'm pretty sure I've eaten just fondant before because I like how it tastes.

Fondant is delicious

While some fondant decorated cakes loom beautiful, I can’t help feel like they taste like glue.

Depends on who makes it. I've had delicious fondant and only ate that cause the cake itself didn't taste too great lol

Are you joking? It's the best thing about cake.

So gross

Zoidberg: "What is this? Goose liver? Fish Eggs? I ask for rich guy stuff and you give me this garbage?"

LOVE 'EM. But I completely understand why people don't.

Admittedly, I love it.

For me, it just signifies the season. I don't eat or drink everything pumpkin spice but it is definitely a favorite and has been since I was little. Pumpkin bread was the first quick bread recipe I ever learned!

These were my childhood. Every birthday party, class event.....

I love it personally! Especially the ones with chia!

Love them. But they aren’t something you could just eat a bunch like other mushrooms, which I also love. Even if you don’t necessarily like it it’s hard to not agree that the taste is unique, and powerful. I worked for a high end catering company in NYC and we would get cases of them in and I would shave this slices for various dishes. If it’s an acquired taste I certainly acquired it then. Mushrooms varieties other than portobello/cremini/button are not commonly found in restaurants in the US. Chanterelle, morel, woodsear, enoki, lion mane, lobster, porcini, oh so many delicious and unique flavors. But, truffles outshine them all in its unique firm texture, aroma and flavor.

"Nibbles of Wet Meat" sounds like a helluva Metal band name

What? I love bubble tea. Not overrated

Another instance where there are many different kinds, and the taste varies significantly. Also depends what it is paired with as most of us don't just dig into a bowl of caviar like it was cereal.

Spinach tastes much better

For an adult palate, it's way, way too sweet. Luckily there are good alternatives, like Bonne Maman.

It's a chocolate cake with red food coloring. I don't like it, either.

Yeah Idk it is kinda tastless in my opinion

I almost had to throw up when I tried matcha latte. Why people drink this vomit inducing drink is beyond me.
