“I call them ‘pollutants’ because their flavor seeps into everything they touch.”
So, Redditoru/deathbykoolaidmanasked, “What’s your actualunpopular food opinion?”
People had lots to contribute, including some members of theBuzzFeed Community.
Here are some of their responses.
“I absolutely hate ketchup it’s just tomatoes and sugar.
“Sour cream has adrasticallydifferent flavor profile from yogurt.
I like both, but they should be used for very different purposes.
Yogurt does not belong anywhere near a baked potato or a soup.”
They may not be ‘real’ cheese, but they are really delicious.”
“I refer to red bell peppers as ‘pollutants’ because their flavor seeps into everything they touch.”
“Many people massively conflate spicy food with seasoned food.
Some people who love spicy food cannot taste what they cook other than the heat.
Their food has no actual flavor other than the taste of your mouth burning.”
“Pancakes, waffles, and French toast aren’t meant to be a regularbreakfast meal.
They’re clearly dessert.”
“I like boring, soggy, steamed, or boiled frozen vegetables.
I said it.”
“Truffle flavor ruins food.
The sourness of pineapple cuts through the dense dough and cheese.
Pineapple’s sweetness pairs well with the spice of a jalapeno.”
“I once dated a guy who only ate food because it was required to live.
He didnt understand the concept of eating for pleasure and thought it was a waste of money.
We clearly didnt date for very long.”
“Macarons are an awful dessert.
They cost too much and taste like someone slapped some subpar frosting on a giant Froot Loop.
Also, all the flavors taste the same.
I found this amazing bakery where everything sold is incredible.
I thought that surely thesemacaronswould make me understand the hype.
Still trash that I paid 30 dollars for.”
“Not every dish is improved by a block of cream cheese.
I’m looking at you, TikTok cooks…”

“I dont care for tomatoes on sandwiches.
“Pickles ruin food.
To me, theyre just crunchy vinegar.
I cant even stand the smell of them, let alone the taste.
They ruin burgers and sandwiches because they make everything else taste likepickles.
If I order something that comes with pickles, I have to double-check they can be served without.
If they touch my food, I still get the essence of pickle on my taste buds.”
“I cant stand the flavor of chocolate syrup.
“I cannot stand ziti.
Theres zero texture and nothing holding the sauce onto the pasta.
There’s nothing about ziti that makes it interesting.
It’s just a slimy noodle that slides around.
“I refuse to cook anything that includes ketchup in the recipe.
I actually really dislike getting a huge leaf of lettuce on my fork.”
“Boxed mac ‘n’ cheese for life.
you’re free to take your dry four-cheese oven-baked mac.
The homemade stuff never has the same indulgent magic that a good old box of Kraft provides.
“Pumpkin spice is THE most overrated flavor.”
“Scrambled eggs need to be so well done they start to brown and then they are perfect.
A custard consistency or even slightly wet scrambled eggs are a no-go for me.
It’s a texture thing.”
“I think bananas are disgusting, overrated, and I don’t understand their appeal in general.
They’re weird and stringy and I can’t stand the way they smell.
I enjoy a good smoothie, but if there is banana in it then I am out.”
