In line with the other thread about discontinued foods you want back what are popular snacks/restaurants/drinks you hate.

I don’t like any plain chips. At all. I never buy them. Classic Lay’s or Ruffles or even corn chips. For dipping etc maybe but by themselves? Never.

I hate In-n-Out. Way overrated.

Diet Coke is awful.

Five Guys I will never eat again.

Red Vines are so bad

When it comes to food etc there is not much I "hate" I have never really hated too many things, maybe not preferred but absolutely hate not so much, although cooked beets, absolutely disgusting. Oh and Liver, my parents loved liver and onions, I couldn't even stand being in the house when my mom made it growing up. :puke:

Seltzers of any kind, alcoholic or the old seltzer water soda crap. YUCK!!

Extreme sour candy, the kind that makes your jaw hurt, not a fan. A little sour kick is ok, but the really really sour stuff, no thanks.

I honestly have never been a fan of authentic Mexican restaurants, The runny refried beans etc. I have always been more partial to more Tex Mex style. I know probably not a popular take, but that being said I just don't have a lot of experiences to really compare because I just always choose something other than Mexican when going out, so I guess it might just be lack of actual knowledge than dislike.

Chick Fil A, is overrated. I have only been there a couple times and really just seems way overrated. Its fine but I didn't find anything to be that special, especially for the hype the place gets.

Smashburgers type places, like at Culvers, Freddy's etc, overrated. Give me a nice thick juicy burger, not overcooked smashed paper thin wafers that are claiming to be a burger. I will take a BBops burger over anything Culvers, Freddys, etc. Also the fact that Culvers over salts everything is gross too, I don't want salt on their crappy cheese balls they claim are wisconsin style that are not even close to actual Wisconsin style cheese curds.

I have eaten at exactly 1 cracker barrel and it was terrible. Maybe it was just a bad location or something, but it was really bad and ruined it for ever wanting to go back.

And The Machine Shed in DM, only been there once, terrible service, extremely slow, mediocre food at best. Might have been a one off thing that evening, but was really not impressed.

Damn you for the hate on Ruffles! Have you ever put Battle’s or Jimmie’s BBQ sauce on them?

Agree on in and out. It's fine but nothing special. I despise white castle.

There are quite a few things I don't really care for like the general public but don't hate. Like Chick-fil-A. It's fine but not up to the hype or worth waiting in line forever.

How is Diet Coke still around, when they already created the much superior Coke Zero? I have actually met people who claim Diet Coke tastes better than Coke Zero, but I think they're just being stubborn.
I think its just what people are used to. I never used to like any diet pop, but now its ok. As you get used to something, I think for some that are used to diet, the Zero products taste too sweet, just because they have gotten used to the diet.
