“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

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.

Black licorice: You either love it or hate it. I've never yet met a person who could go either way. Myself, I'm on the 'Love it' side.

It's just a frozen patty of mechanically shredded pork pressed into a riblike shape. The frozen food companies have been making them for fifty years. The only thing missing is the sauce. Just buy some Swansons and use your own BBQ sauce and bread.

Pale Ales are the laziest form of brewing (having worked in the industry) and, to me, each and every one of them tastes like carbonated dishwater.

I refuse to knowingly give bigots my money!

Hate chicken tastes funny.

A couple years ago they made a move into Portland. They're afraid to open in the city proper so they stick to the suburbs. Fact is I know food trucks that have better chicken. You want to move in on the Portland, Oregon food scene, you better be really really good or the competition will eat you alive.

Their fries and lemonade are what tempt me.

I have friends who call it "hate chicken" because of the discrimination. I'd rather get out my air fryer than eat from there.

I had it once and didn't care for whatever they did to the meat, brine/rub/idk but the meat tasted half rancid. I ate the fries and veggies off the sandwich and snuck the meat into the trash.

Love their food. Just hard to get in cause their lines really long. But they move pretty quickly. Ours opened up recently and it's always busy.

I despise them. Bigoted a-holes. I am from MA, but lived in NC for a time. Found PDQ, a much better fast-food chicken place. The kitchen is open concept & everything is made to order.

In N Out or Tommys its not.

I mention this every time this one comes up. But I don't get the hype--only because the place has been around since the 40s. I remember it as another crappy fast food option at the mall food court in the 1980s. No one raved about it. No one cared about it. It was just another fast food place option among a million other options. That's it. Then somehow in the 2000s it was suddenly THE place everyone just HAD to go. Why? It's another chicken sandwich like any other, and has been since the 40s. What changed in the 2000s? I think somehow it became trendy and people just jumped on the bandwagon and can't admit there is nothing special about Chick-fil-A.

Also, their barbeque sauce sucks. It's way too sweet and tastes like honey mixed with ketchup. I can appreciate a good sweet barbeque sauce (there's a barbeque place in Mt. Horeb, WI, that has an incredible raspberry barbeque sauce), but Chick-Fil-A has not figured out how to make a good sweet barbeque sauce.

There are far better chicken sandwiches out there that don't come with the side of intolerance. I simply do not get the attraction. There are far superior chicken sandwiches out there.

I don’t get this one either. Yeah their chicken is moist but also flavorless. Everything there tastes like hospital cafeteria food.

Yeah I don't get the double wrapped line around the building. It's a chicken sandwich ffs

The waffle fries are really good especially dipped their polynesean sauce.

The food knows I'm queer and atheist lmao every single solitary time I have anything from their menu, I get seriously terrible acid reflux. Even if I have prescription medication an hour beforehand, or Pepto, whatever, doesn't matter, I will suffer. So I just don't.

Yuck! It is terrible and I hate their "fries". I'll take Bojangles, Zaxby's or or even the fried chicken from Publix.

It's good. Overpriced but tasty. I love/hate that they're closed on Sundays but at least it forces employees not to compete for overtime or be forced to work on a Sunday

I love Chick-fil-A icedream

I agree. The chicken is pretty good I guess but it is wayyyy overhyped.

True except their milkshakes. Those are aweso.e.

Too salty and their stance against LGBTQ is hard to stomach.

I had one of their chicken sandwiches many years ago. It was okay but nothing to rave about. We don't have locally so it was probably on a trip up to Vancouver or something. Though I just googled and saw one is supposedly coming to my local town. Not that I care.

I love them. Their nuggets are awesome and the people that work there seem genuinely happy. To each their own though.

Finally! Someone said it!

I do not care that they hired a corporate BS diversity shill. They are disgusting in the name of "christianity" ( maybe they should look up love thy neighbor). I have never had anything from there and will walk away if offered. I also will never give hobby lobby any of my crafting money ( and I spend way too much). I do TRY and use my voice by where I spend my $$

If you blind folded people, they'd most always prefer Chick-fil-A.
