Most otherwise popular food/snack/dessert/beverage you cannot stand ?

I tried Twinkies once, just out of curiosity since they're always mentioned on American TV and I wanted to know what they were. They don't sell them in the UK as a general rule AFAIK but I found them once... but very expensive since they were so rare I guess. Anyway, never tasted anything so sickly sweet in my life... every part of it was too sweet. They did kind of grow on me for the novelty of it but they're the sort of things I'd need to brush my teeth straight after eating to feel comfortable. Is all American junk food like that?

No. You need to go scarf a bag of Lay's potato chips. The only other thing I like is Cheetos crunchy, presnit cheeto von tweeto notwithstanding. Other than that, no junk food, ever. Apples and baby carrots are entirely good enough for me...if you ignore that divine Kraft's extra-sharp cheddar cheese in the fridge. Put slices of it on some decent sourdough bread, and that stuff beats any chocolate I've eaten, hands down. Obviously, tastes vary.

We don't have those chips/crisps over here but I'm guessing that maybe cheetos are something like Wotsits?... do you have those over there... 'corn puffs' coated in some orangey powdery stuff that gets all over your fingers... very messy to eat. Yeah, I'm a bit like you... my junk/snack food is actually just either cucumber or sprouts not cos I'm a health freak... cos I'm certainly not that... I just need a bit of water in my snacks. And Kraft... you say they make cheese... do they also make chocolate? Cos for some reason I have it in my mind that a few years ago an American company called Krafts bought Cadbury? That was a sad day... part our heritage gone... but thankfully they didn't mess with the product or recipe at all, so it tastes and is packaged the same as it always has been... best chocolate ever.
