I would venture to say that we all have those foods that we think we want to eat, but then a few sips or bites or licks into it, we suddenly remember why it’s been so long since we ate it last.
Because it’s gross.
If you’re curious whether or not your thing is a thing for everyone, here are 16 foods people say should be avoided at all costs.
16. Never regret pizza.
Costco pizza.
The first bite is amazing. Hot, greasy, cheesy goodness.
I pat myself on the back for getting a cheap easy “treat yo’ self” dinner. At the middle of the slice I’m regretting buying it, but I’ve had worse.
By the end I feel so disgusting and can’t believe I not only willingly ate that, but finished the goddamn thing.
I hate myself for it all the more.
15. Happens to the best of us.
Flavored vodka.
A revelation when you’re a teenager.
Undrinkable after a few experiences.
14. It is kind of oily.
Not eat, drink: Gatorade and suchlike.
It’s designed to taste better the thirstier you are.
Therefore, as you drink it, you’re less thirsty, and it tastes worse.
13. Who even eats those?
Those big chocolate rabbits they sell for Easter.
12. They get the job done.
Dried apricots.
Taste delicious, but the more you eat them, the more certain you will be that your stomach will hate you for this.
Any other dried fruit, too, except maybe boring things like apples. Dried fruit makes it easy to eat way more sugar and fiber than you would eat of fresh fruit.
11. It’s hard to explain.
Hot dogs, and circus peanuts.
I was looking for Circus Peanuts! First few are heaven….then your jaw starts to tire, then they start to taste like chemicals? I’m not even sure how to explain it.
10. It’s a weird sensation.
Pineapple, burns your mouth.
Pineapples contain bromelain, an enzyme that digests protein and tenderizes meat.
So when you eat pineapple, it eats you back.
9. A strange addiction.
Candy Corn.
The worst thing about candy corn is that it is simultaneously disgusting and addictive.
When I’m eating it, I can feel myself getting sicker, but I can’t stop.
8. What.
Fish burritos.
They are pretty one note and rich so halfway through i begin to struggle.
7. It’s a tricky balance.
After Eights or Mon Chéri type chocolates.
I’m with you on the patties/thins – the mint filling gets too overpowering after a while – but those After Eight bars where the mint is the same texture as the chocolate, I could fill up on no problem.
6. I have to agree.
That’s easy. Onion Rings.
The first three and maybe four are amazing. But of course you eat them all and then your mouth feels like you’ve eaten a bucket of grease.
When I make them at home I only make 4. In a restaurant I make everyone eat their share.
5. Take it easy.
Honeycomb.
Eventually you hit your limit, and mine was 6/8ths through an Art and Science
4. Blasphemy!
Pancakes.
Start out delicious but halfway through you’re sick of them.
I was about to say I disagree, but what I’m thinking about is fresh crepes. As an elementary school kid I liked them so much I once ate 11 or 12, maybe 13, in one sitting. And then my kiddie stomach threw a fit about being overfilled and evicted most of them. Still love crepes to this day though.
3. They eat away at your tastebuds.
Sour patch kids.
The more you eat the worse the aftertaste.
And then your mouth and tongue end up raw and you regret it so much..
But then end up doing it again next time you go to the movies.
2. I’m bitter right now.
Gorgonzola cheese. At first its not so bad, but then you start to feel the bitterness
1. One is more than enough.
fig newtons for some reason.
1-4 are fine but after that they start tasting gross. then there’s my friend who loves fig newtons but faints at the sight of chips ahoy.
That’s why after the first sleeve you jump over the to strawberry newtons. Those things are firing on all 8.
I don’t think many of these are all that controversial, but I would take issue with anyone hating on like, donuts.
