What's a food that people generally love but you think is overrated?

General Tso’s Chicken at most places.
It used to be good when it was a new thing back in the 80’s and restaurants used quality chicken. But these days it’s usually just an overly sweet syrupy mess used to smother tough flavorless chicken leather.

Acai bowls. Ugh.
Bubble tea.

I mean I don’t see either as breakfast fare more like a treat you eat once in a while.

So you can't ever eat something without fretting over whether it meets your nutritional guidelines/orthorexic requirements?

That's really sad

+1 and per the title, everyone seems to love them, still, even in this day and age.

I think donuts are overrated, as I haven't had a good one in years. They never live up to the memories of the perfect donut from our local place in the 80s. Glazed. So I don't ever bother, even as a treat.

Bagels, I think are getting better. A perfectly asiago cheese bagel with vegetable cream cheese is the perfect treat. I only eat the top.

Dweebs obsessed with bourbon is cringe. Scotch obsession isn't much better, but men who like scotch don't seem anywhere near as performative about it. It's like bourbon dorks are desperately trying to project macho masculinity. It's... just a sweet whisky.

Wings disgust me. It's like many dead chickens on a plate. It's sad and not worth it.

Cheeseburgers getting taller when they should be wider

What is a "perfectly asiago cheese bagel?"

Sushi. Mmm. Cold raw-ish fish surrounded by the mouth assault of seaweed.

Totally agree with this. It's totally a middle-aged suburban dad thing. Your vaguely sweet fire water pretty much all tastes the same, bro.

I'm glad someone else called out Girl Scout Cookies. I JUST DON'T GET THEM! They are totally unimpressive, processed, bland-tasting garbage. The "chocolate" tastes more of wax than chocolate. And their S'mores cookie? An insult to the organization that invented the treat!
