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!

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

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


+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.


What is a "perfectly asiago cheese bagel?"

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

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

That's really sad

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.
