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.

No idea about the chocolate, but one never knows. I'll go look up the corn puffs Vs Cheetos, tomorrow. I built a bunch of the concrete wall in front of my house (not done), and I'm winding down like a cheap clock, atm. I think that those are different. The corn puffs, iirc, are pretty puffy, ofc, and the Cheetos are more crunchy.

Just about everything Hostess. Even before their collapse, they weren't all that, but their one redeeming feature was the Suzy-Q. Now, even the Suzy-Qs are shit, but their shit still flies off the store shelves.

Sadly, Little Debby hasn't fared much better.

I haven't seen a Suzy-Q in a very long time, many years, just all the other nasty shit Hostess made. Now that they brought everything back with extra shitty, no thanks to even those.

I love me some Twinkies.  Sticking my tongue in the hole and licking the cream out is the best way to eat it.  To hell with all you haters! 😛


(Yes, that was on purpose.)

That's it. I'm buying some Klondikes and heading your way!

Wafer thin and crispy...a simple margherita pizza done correctly is amazing to my palate.

Yeah, I'm winding down too... just about to go to sleep. Just watched Blair Witch on Netflix and now everything kind of looks surreal to me... the light looks different. It's weird... cool but weird... probably just tiredness. Anyway, the only other thing I can think that cheetos might be if they're crunchy is hollow tubes? But never mind for tonight... iow happy winding down to you and good night

I don't hate pizza but do find it overrated. If i'm going to enter any type of Italian restaurant, i want a real Italian meal. Baked Ziti, lasagna, ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, etc. Why choose pizza over that?

[Seraphina]

Kraft mac and cheese - what an overrated product

Ha - my kid got a good report card last week and I told her I would make whatever she wanted for dinner as a reward. Guess what she chose - that's right, Kraft mac and cheese lol.
That shit's so bad, it's good
