It is probably impossible to find a food that everyone loves, there will always be someone who hates it with all their heart. Even the most common things that a lot of recipes may contain. It is interesting how different people can eat the same thing, but have a different reaction to the taste or even perceive it differently. 

Even though the Latin maxim says that there is no point in disputing tastes, people love to give their opinions on food. Reddit user jamboamericano wanted to know people’s opinions on foods that are hyped up but “quite simply suck.” They received 3k responses so take a look at the most popular ones that quite a lot of people agreed on.

Consistently mediocre, albeit overpriced. If I go there for a cup of tea, I know about what I'm going to get for four bucks. In most locations, most of the year, I can order white hot chocolate with peppermint and cinnamon, and get as much. It's a safe bet.

"I make my chili with the five hottest peppers known to man and a dash of snake venom to kick it up a notch" Why?

    That, and tofu.

    This is just silly. There are types of caviar that aren't expensive, particularly because you're not meant to shovel it in with a fork. I absolutely love caviar, and it has nothing to do with showing off or being rich (I'm not).

    Exactly. Why would anyone just swallow them whole? You just eat them as you would any other food. Don't order them if you're in Kansas. They've got to be fresh and they taste like the ocean.

Besides I momentarily felt like it was kind of hard to breathe? Idk if allergies can come on gradually but it made me wonder if I would react stronger if I tried them again!

    I've never tried raw oysters. Fried oysters are okay, but a bit oily. I used to love grilled oysters. My Mother-in-law would go buy bunches of oysters and grill them, and my Father-in-law and I would sit at the table talking, pouring each other's beer and eating until we were stuffed. Since he passed away, I just can't eat them anymore. It's not the same without him.

    Never tried the raw ones,sucking back slimy mollusks like a reverse loogie, holds zero appeal, however, smoked oysters packed in oil have both an interesting texture and fairly intense flavour. Definitely a treat on a cracker or toast point.

On the drive home he would be hacking lugies out the car window every couple of minutes. Just all in all nasty.

Then I see people dip it in butter and yea thats fine and all and it tastes great, but then I get the feeling I'm just tasting the butter and what the f**k is the point of this $30 dish exactly?

    Like a lot of shellfish, it has to be fresh from the ocean. If you have it in a tank at the supermarket where they just sit there it's not worth it. Back on PEI, Canada; 70% of houses are having fresh lobster on Mother's Day right off the boat. Can't beat it.

    Only edible if it’s absolutely drenched in hot sauce. It’s mushy, bland, makes me bloated, and strangely, sometimes gives me a headache. 2 out of 5 times found a hair in the burrito. I gave up.

    The majority of truffle oil isn't actually made with truffles. The main ingredient is a chemical designed in a laboratory to mimic the aroma of truffles (synthetic 2,4-dithiapentane).

    When it was first introduced, it was a packet mix that you combined with mayonnaise and real buttermilk. It was delicious then. You can still buy the mix and that's the only way to prepare it IMHO.

    I think I'd actually like it if there was less sugar and more hazelnut.

    Avocados are one of my most favorite things in the world. Guacamole is so good. Avocado with a little apple cider vinegar & olive oil... pinch of salt ..... Aaahhh, I'm making myself hungry!

    Shrimp is pretty cool if it's cooked well. Not overcooked and not drenched in seasoning. With most of these you just got to cook it lightly with minimal additions to keep the true taste.

    Seafood. It stinks, it looks gross, and every time I've been convinced to try it it's been rank. My husband and I have agreed many times that we'd have to be starving to death before we ever considered seafood as a meal. I do not understand how anybody can enjoy it. It creates a visceral negative reaction in me.

    I love seafood, but I'm careful where I source it. No dodgy diner seafood, please.

    People Are Joining This Thread Ranting About Overhyped Foods They Don't Understand And Here Are 34 Of Them I don't think it sucks but I don't get why popcorn is so cherished.

    I don't like the flavor, the texture, or the f*****g kernels that get stuck in my teeth. The smell is always terrible to me and it lingers.

    But what I really hate is having to explain to people offering it to me that I actually don't like popcorn, no, I really don't, yes, even that type, yes it's a popular snack, no, I really don't like it.

    I absolutely adore have popcorn sweet and salty being my favourite, I just hate the kernels, because they always get stuck in my teeth. I would love to find the special popcorn without kernels
