Random Unpopular Opinions About Food (24 items)

• (#1) Soft Cookies Are Better

  From Redditor /u/Curiosity-The-Idiot

  Soft cookies are superior to crunchy cookies

  I’ll admit that I like a fresh baked soft cookie that easily melts in your mouth after a bite. I think it tastes better than your average crunchy cookie that feels like you’re eating edible rocks.

  Even when I get crunchy cookies, I usually leave them out overnight to soften em, heat them up, get a cup of milk and you’re good to go.

  I’m not usually this picky when it comes to food but when it comes to my cookies, soft ones are definitely superior.
• (#2) Eat! Your Vegetables

  From Redditor /u/Reldar

  Adults that refuse to eat fruit or vegetables are childish

  The idea that a fully grown adult completely refuses to incorporate fruit or vegetables into their diet is quite pathetic.
  It's the attitude I'd expect from a young child.
• (#3) Vanilla Is Great

  From Redditor /u/[deleted]

  Dear humans: Vanilla is not "plain", "boring", or "flavorless". It *is* a flavor, and a rich one at that. (Blame ice cream's history)

  When you are served ice cream, you are served vanilla as the "default" ice cream. And it is white, a word often synonymous with "blank" or "empty". This made kids everywhere assume that vanilla is just the ordinary and boring. But it's not.

  It really doesn't help that in the U.S., major food companies are penny-pinching jerks who make cheaper-tasting flavor (and who also ruin people's understanding of "American cheese", a cheese which-- when you make it right-- is a good contender with any other flavorful cheeses you see on the shelf every day.) Vanilla was once described in Europe as the "essence and epitome of flavor". That's why it became so common. And over time, vanilla was widely substituted with cheaper things. "Natural vanilla flavor" isn't vanilla. It's a natural flavor that tastes kinda like it (and often comes from something you don't want to hear about, not that I think there's anything wrong with substitute flavors in general). Real vanilla is fantastic.

  Stop misrepresenting vanilla. It's a great flavor. (Although I know that software terms are already dooming "vanilla" to continue being thought of as "boring", and there's nothing I can do to fix that. As if "vanilla Minecraft" is even boring... Sigh.)
• (#4) Broccoli Is Great

  From Redditor /u/Kymanifesto

  Broccoli tastes great y’all just can’t cook

  Every children’s cartoon has brainwashed you all into thinking your veggies is a punishment and a “gross” food you only eat to be healthy. F*ck that and f*ck you.

  Broccoli especially, what’s wrong with you? Broccoli tastes good even when raw, but frying it with some spices and butter??? It’s a great highlight of any meal.

  People really out here thinking vegetables taste gross when in reality their uneducated *sses only steam and boil them without even thinking about the repercussions.

  Would you say all meat tastes bad because you only eat boiled unflavored steak? No? Then shut up. Veggies are an amazing and incredible diverse food group and I will plummet anyone who disagrees into the ground.

  I am slightly drunk right now and I fear no man. If you think that a nice veggie stir fry isn’t mouthwatering I will eliminate you and plant cauliflower on top of your grave.

  I’m tired of the bad reputation my beautiful greens get.
• (#5) Sparkling Water Is Pins And Needles

  From Redditor /u/DuBistDerHammer

  Sparking water tastes like pins and needles and doesn't need to exist.

  For some context I live in Germany and sparkling water is so normal here that it's the classic flavour of water over natural.

  But, seriously though. How do people drink it so easily? It just tastes like the static your TV gives out when you're tuning channels or when you've lost feeling in your legs after sitting on a crappy chair for too long.

  Doesn't need to exist. There are plenty of other carbonated drinks that have taste that's worth existing. Water should be chuggable and fresh, not bland and fizzy.
• (#6) Can't Eat Big Burgers

  From Redditor /u/mnoah66

  Huge stacked burgers suck. There’s nothing worse than a burger with too many toppings that spill all over the place and make a mess.

  Burgers that require you to unhinge your jaw to take a bite is not an enjoyable eating experience. For people that worry about making a mess and getting food all over their face and hands, there’s nothing worse.
• (#7) Chomp The Whole Pringle

  From Redditor /u/solja-boy

  If you don’t put the whole Pringle in your mouth, you’re the weakest link.

  It’s so simple. Just shove it down your mouth and bite it and you won’t choke.

  If you bite Pringle’s into smaller pieces you don’t deserve to eat them at all.

  Just shove it down your throat d*mmit

  (For everyone crying about only doing one I don’t only do one lmao I do more than one at a time!!!!)
• (#8) Waffles Are Superior

  From Redditor /u/PM_pics_of_ur_doggo

  Waffles are superior to pancakes in every way.

  Frankly, I don’t know if this unpopular or not, but waffles are so much freaking better than pancakes and it’s not even close. Pancakes are flat little b*st*rds who can’t even hold syrup. Waffles have built in pockets to hold the good uh uh. And have you heard of toaster pancakes? No, because they don’t want to be convenient for you. Waffles know you’re busy, and they’re like hey bud, eat me after a minute in the toaster I got you.

  And does anyone really enjoy going to ihop? I don’t, it’s overpriced and my experience is never consistent. Waffle House on the other hand is cheap, 24 hours, and no matter if I’m in the rich suburbs, the ghetto, or in a beach town, it has the same consistency everywhere. Honestly I can only think of one place where pancakes are good, and that’s McDonald’s. And they’re not even called pancakes, they’re called hot cakes, cause they don’t wanna be associated with trash pancakes.

  And my final point, other forms of waffles are dope, waffle cones are first to come to mind. They don’t have pancake cones because pancakes are floppy and sloppy just like your ex. Waffles even inspired one of the other good foods of America, French fries, into evolving into a superior potato food- waffle fries.
• (#9) Pineapple On Pizza Is Fine

  From Redditor /u/cmars118

  Pineapple on pizza isn't even slightly weird. Sweet and savory is one of the most common and proven food combinations. The whole controversy surrounding is just about flexing some sort of pizza elitism

  I'm not saying that you're lying if you say you don't like it. It's completely valid to not like it. But the fact that it's such a big deal is annoying. I'm from Italy and people always expect me to be furiously anti-pineapple, but it's whatever ¯_(ツ)_/¯
• (#10) Fast Food Burgers In The Morning

  From Redditor /u/randomlygener8edname

  I would rather have McDonald's serve burgers early in the morning than serve breakfast all day

  Whenever I'm in an airport early in the morning I never want one of those breakfast sandwiches. I want a real burger. I'm eating at McDonald's early in the morning, you think I care if it's good for me
• (#11) Alcohol Is Overrated

  From Redditor /u/foxjump121

  Alcohol is overrated and drinking in general is not that fun.

  I personaly think drinking kinda sucks it taste like watered down aloe to me I personally dont like the feeling you get after drinking a lot it's pretty sh*t aswell. I never saw the appeal in drinking but almost every other person goes on about how they're gonna be be drinking all night, sometimes talking about how drunk they'll get and talking about how great it is, am I missing something ?

  And before someone says its about socializing, the people and having fun with your friends I doubt that since I have what could be described as a drunk as a older brother. Hes probably part of the reason I dont see the appeal in it but ive never enjoyed having him and his friends around when they started drinking but absolutely loved them when they where sober and could hold a proper conversation.

  Im trying not to come off as someone saying im holier than thou, this is just something I couldn't understand why its as popular as it is.
• (#12) Boneless Wings Are Better Than Bone In

  From Redditor /u/cheeziswin

  Boneless wings are better than bone in.

  More meat. Tasty breading. Less likely to be dry and stringy. No worries about cracking a tooth on a bone, or chewing cartilage on accident. It's also more socially acceptable to eat with a fork than regular bone in - you'll look like a lunatic if you put a wing on the end of your fork like that. Which means no sticky, smelly fingers. You'll be free to touch other parts of the table without having to take a wet napkin to your hand every time!

  Overall, though God may not have intended them, boneless wings have no flaws and I shall die on this hill.
• (#13) Cones Are Overrated

  From Redditor /u/C_Alamo

  Ice cream in a cup is superior to the cone

  With a cup, you can eat ice cream in peace and not make a giant mess of liquid. Better grip, less chance of falling. Not to mention, you can SET IT DOWN to do whatever you need to do. Try and do that with a cone.

  Cones are overrated.
• (#14) No Tomatoes In My Burger

  From Redditor /u/hmitch94

  Tomato is terrible in a burger.

  It makes the bread soggy, it’s often cut too thick and it drips everywhere. It only belongs in a burger in the form of sauce. It is a terrible choice for a burger filling. Thanks for reading.
• (#15) Orange Juice With Pulp Is >>

  From Redditor /u/[deleted]

  Orange juice with pulp is better than orange juice without pulp

  I like the way the orange bits goes down my throat, and it gives me a sense that this juice hasn't been tinkered with as much as the other juice.. for the other juice, the people making it have to sift through the goodness, and the juice is no longer in its natural form. The idea of biting into a juicy orange evokes memories from when I tried to sneak orange juice from the fridge when I was younger. And a bit of orange rind and bits makes the juice a lot more interesting, rather than just a regular liquid.
• (#16) Dr. Pepper For The Win

  From Redditor /u/sourtooth3

  Dr.Pepper is the best soda in the world

  All other sodas don't come close to the excellence that is the flavor that Dr.Pepper gives you. If I'm at a restaurant and Dr.Pepper isn't available, then I just stick with water because all other sodas don't compare. Having a sip of Dr.Pepper is like tasting a little bit of heaven.
• (#17) Don't Preheat Your Oven

  From Redditor /u/NKgino37

  Preheating the oven is a scam ran by the government to take your money

  Every f*cking time I buy a frozen pizza, I put that sassy b*tch in right when I start the oven. Why? Because I’ve figured it out. That’s right Uncle Sam, I’m onto you.

  The directions for my favorite pizza is to heat the oven to 425F and cook for 15 minutes. My oven takes 14 minutes to preheat. So, this whole cooking process takes about 30 minutes? No way. Not chance in hell, buckaroo. When I shove my pizza in that oven prematurely, I add 3-4 minutes to compensate. This means I wait a total of 18-19 minutes vs 30. And guess what? It tastes f*cking delicious. Ask any of my friends. I cook them frozen pizzas all the time, and they can’t get enough, thanks to my unequivocal superior intelligence. The pizza turns out just fine, and it poses no health threat. Source: I’ve been doing this for 12 years.

  So nice try, Mr. President. I know you want all of us to cook our pizzas for that extra 10 minutes to make us use a little extra electricity. Maybe it isn’t significant if one person cooks their frozen Italian love pie for 10 extra minutes, but you’re a thinker. You’re looking at the grand scheme of things. MILLIONS of people cooking their pizza for 10 minutes extra? I ain’t giving in to that scheme .
• (#18) Take A Bite Out Of A Kit Kat Instead Of Snapping

  From Redditor /u/classydouchebag

  Taking a bite out of a KitKat Bar is better than 'breaking off a piece'.

  That's right. Taking a bite out of a freshly opened KitKat Bar is more satisfying than splitting up the little sticks. If you open up a wrapper and start breaking these wafers apart, you're not only making more work for yourself, you're ruining a perfectly good candy bar. Biting down into these connected pieces of chocolate gives you the added texture bonus of biting through the crevice between the connected mounds and then being able to snap them apart in your mouth with your tongue. I will not hide this anymore, I don't care how much my fiance threatens to leave me and I don't care if my children call another man their father. This is the superior KitKat eating way and you all are doing it wrong.
• (#19) Vanilla Coke Is The Best

  From Redditor /u/PineapleLul

  Vanilla Coke is the best flavor, even better than the regular flavor of Coke.

  To begin, what the hell even is the flavor of regular Coke? Sugar? It's indiscernible and, frankly, a little bland. All you really get with the base flavor is fizz.

  With the vanilla flavor, however, the whole soda gets creamier, smoother, with a flavor you can notice and a sweet after-taste reminiscent of buttercream frosting. The whole drink gets less harsh to swallow, not to mention that vanilla and whatever the base flavor is work. Like, really well.

  In fact, they work together so well that the combination could be it's own soda, because it has it's own taste, unlike cherry or orange Coke (which just taste like regular Coke with fruits shoved in them).

  The only real downfall to vanilla Coke is that it's not wide-spread; only two stores in my town sell it, which is a huge shame considering how much of a blessing vanilla Coke is.

  Thank you all for coming to my TedTalk. Now go buy some vanilla Coke.
• (#20) Ketchup Is Disgusting

  From Redditor /u/yNova

  Ketchup is f*cking disgusting

  A proper hamburger or cheeseburger should never have ketchup. It dominates the flavor and all you taste is sh*t. If I want to get the tomato profile, I will put a f*cking tomato on my burger and not some pasty, corn syrup, sugary sissy bullsh*t. Every burger place puts ketchup on the burger by default, so I have to always ask for no ketchup and have the chance of them f*cking it up. You ketchup f*ckers should have to ask for ketchup, not me.

  Putting ketchup on steak should be a capital offense and you should be sent to a reeducation camp.

  It's fat dumb people sauce. Its the keystone or natty light of sauce. Its putrid odor is reminiscent of filthy perspiration. You can literally judge a person by how much ketchup they consume. Ketchup eliminates more people in America then terrorism and substances, yet we don't have a War on Tomatoes. The world would be better without ketchup.
• (#21) Pears And Mayonnaise

  From Redditor /u/TautYetMalleable

  The best way to eat a pear is covered in mayonnaise.

  Mayonnaise significantly enhances the taste of pears. My favorite type of pear to eat with mayo is slices pear from a can, with a fresh pear bring the second choice. There is no better way to eat pears and I will die on this hill.
• (#22) Cobwebs Are Food

  From Redditor /u/MrBowlfish

  Cobwebs are food.

  I mean why the f*ck not? They're just sitting there.
• (#23) Cereal With Water

  From Redditor /u/DubitablyIndubitable

  Eating cereal with water is better than with milk

  I am a true believer that cereal with water is better. The taste of milk conflicts with the taste of the cereal, whereas water does not. While still getting the same texture, water does not ruin the taste of cereal. My friends crucified me when I told them this...so for this reason I am coming here in search of others who share my beliefs of water being better than milk.
• (#24) Need A Surprising Piece Of Hair

  From Redditor /u/chamqion

  I like the sensation of finding a hair in my food while I'm chewing.

  I love the sensation of of pulling the long hair out slowly, as it moves through my food, caressing my tongue and the sides of my mouth, then it slides through my pursed lips for what feels like an hour.

  What really makes my day is when I'm in the middle of swallowing, and I can feel the hair stretch from my tongue to my esophagus, and I take my time pulling it out, savoring every inch.

  But this whole experience is blown if I know before hand there's a hair. It needs to surprise me as I'm chewing.
