Food is not all created equal. There’s a reason different food gets a better rep than others, or other foods are seen as gag-worthy. For example, it’s rare you find someone who hates pizza but loves anchovies.

However, there ARE these people who exist—and they just admitted their controversial opinions on certain types of food for the world to see. Here are the surprising answers below!

1. Lobster

   100 years ago lobster was considered the cockroach of the sea and only poor ppl ate it. i forget how it come to be synonymous with the rich tho.

3. Any Type of Meat

   Meat is overrated and people mostly like the flavor of seasonings and sauces… and what they’re used to. 🤷‍♂️

6. Thanksgiving Foods

   Thanksgiving dinner food is so overrated. The only food served that’s any good is the mashed potatoes. Which is why we eat them year round.

7. Oreos

   Oreos are overrated. Oreos in ice cream doubly so.

8. Pizza

   If a plain slice or pizza doesn’t taste amazing, it’s not good pizza and no topping will ever make it good pizza.

   Starbucks coffee tastes like ashes. Burnt and tasteless.

10. Chocolate Chips in Baked Goods

    Not everything is improved by adding chocolate or chocolate chips, ex. banana bread and pancakes.

11. Mac & Cheese

    Macaroni & Cheese is wildly overrated. I don’t care how well your mom/grandmom makes it, it’s baked noodles and cheese. And it’s not that good. Fight me. https://t.co/yBCg0qWAb2

12. Sweet Potatoes

    Sweet potatoes are not good. Not sweet potato fries. Not sweet potato pie. Not sweet potatoe casserole. Not the sweet potato your grandma picked from your family farm with her bare hands. None of it is good. None of it at all. https://t.co/JqOJjslbKj

13. Oysters

    Oysters are neither aphrodisiacs or anything a sane human would want to eat. (They have dozens of eyes, you know.) https://t.co/DuYPCEDYAO
