What Food Do Folks Pretend to Like? 16 People Responded.

Are foods out there that people only pretend to like?

Maybe it’s because it’s all the rage at the moment, maybe it’s extremely hip, or maybe people are just too afraid to speak out against it.

Whatever the case, it does seem like there’s a lot of this going around…or at least people think there is.

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this.

1. Code for “not good.”

“Everything I eat at Rosh Hashanah.

Chopped liver, gefilte fish, kugel (noodles with cottage cheese and raisins).

Everything is described as an “acquired taste,” which is code for “not good.””

2. No thank you.

“Liver and pig’s feet.

I eat all types of food.

I eat sushi, caviar, oysters, beef heart, tongue, etc but those two foods in particular have a certain taste that just broadcasts what they are, and it isn’t positive.”

3. I’m being poisoned!

“Those bitter gross leafs in some salads.

Those are weeds, not food.

Healthy doesn’t mean it needs to taste like poison.”

4. Get that outta here!

“Sprinkles!

You all pretend to like them because they’re cute but in reality they ruin whatever they are on.

Leave my cupcake alone with your glittery crunchy nasty bullsh*t.”

5. Like shoe leather.

“Well done steak.

It destroys the flavor and texture,.

You may as well just save yourself some money and buy chicken instead.”

6. Uh uh…

“Miracle Whip

To quote Kyle Kinane, “mayonnaise doesn’t go bad, it just becomes Miracle Whip. That extra tang in there, you know what that is? Patience.””

7. Not a fan.

“Fruit cake.

Do people actually eat that?

I feel like it work better as a doorstop.

8. Take that back!

“Jägermeister.

It tastes like a syrup version of black licorice.

Ewww, god no.”

9. Not feeling it.

“Coconut Water.

If I wanted to drink taint sweat I would just collect my own.

10. Not for me!

“Kale.

Sure, I’d love a sandpaper salad!”

11. That’s one way to put it.

“Cottage cheese.

It’s the Devil’s yeast infection.”

12. I guess it is kind of gross…

“Celery.

It’s literally bitter, chewy, fibrous water.

Blehhh.”

13. Is it all a conspiracy?

“Candy Corn?

There is a conspiracy that in the 1880’s “Big Sugar” had found a way to sell their low grade sugar by mixing it with edible wax and selling it to children called “candy corn”

if someone “Likes” candy corn they are alien who is trying to “fit in” with humanity, cause people weren’t suppose to like candy other than as fake gag food.”

14. Overpriced.

“Really fancy wines.

I feel like once yet hit anything over USD 40 per bottle, all wines are just about the same levels of good.”

15. Rusty nails.

“Uni(sea urchin).

Tastes like rusty nails and explodes said rusty nail juice in your mouth like a boba.

Chefs talk about how they love it and I think people say they like it to get foodie cred.”

16. Very bitter.

“IPA beer.

Especially when the brewery prides itself on how hoppy it is.

That just means it’ll be so bitter you’ll barely be able to get it past your lips.”

Now we want to hear from all of you out there!

In the comments, tell us what foods you think people only pretend to like.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

People Share Their Opinions About What Never Stopped Being Cool

Some things are cool and they always have been.

Bruce Springsteen. The Ramones. Martin Scorsese. Converse All-Stars. Also a whole lot of little things in life, too!

It’s just the way it is!

So let’s learn about some more eternally cool stuff.

AskReddit users talked about what was, is, and always shall be cool.

1. Nice and wholesome.

“Being the guy out of the group that waits for you when you have to stop and tie your shoe.

I LOVE that guy!”

2. Kindness.

“Being the type of person who is kind without trying to get recognized for it.

My whole family tries to be this way. As a kid, there were always strange people by the house……I asked my parents when I got a little older why they had a bunch of whacky friends.

They were nice to everyone unless you gave them a reason not to be. That lead to all the strangers and outcasts that were always dumped on by *ssholes feeling like they had a home and a friend.

I try to live by the same code because “normal” is nothing more than a setting on the dryer.”

3. That’s right.

“Sticking up for people in need.

I went to school with a mentally challenged girl from preschool through high school. She always said hi to me and I would ask her how she was, almost every single day.

One day in middle school she started walking across the street without looking and got hit by a car. She wasnt badly injured, just a few scrapes and bruises. Well a couple weeks after that she was trying to cross the street to get to school but the traffic was bad and she was scared to try to cross.

I had just parked my car and started walking to the school. I heard her yell my name from across the street and start waving. I yelled back and asked if she was ok. She asked if I would help her cross the street. I didn’t think anything of it and just kinda started walking across the street and stopped traffic.

I got to the side she was on and took her hand and I helped her across the street. She said thank you many times and we went about our day. I never thought it was a big deal but it must have been to her because throughout the rest of our school years she would randomly tell me thank you for helping her across the street.”

4. The best.

“Tony Hawk.

I’m not even into skateboarding and I think he’s cool.”

5. I agree.

“Finding money.

On the ground, in a pair of pants.

Doesn’t matter. Finding money is always cool.”

6. All ages.

“For me it’d be LEGO.

It sparks a joy in most/all people, no matter the age.”

7. Better with age.

“Bob Ross and Mister Rogers get cooler with age.

Both MUCH cooler now than when I was a kid.

They are never going to hit maximum coolness.

They’ll just keep expanding.”

8. Be gentle about it.

“A gentle but witty comeback.”

9. The good stuff.

“A cold beer after a long day of work.

Pizza and beer after helping someone move.

Makes an average beer, average pizza, taste Godly.”

10. Lookin’ sharp.

“Leather jackets.

I wouldn’t mind having one if I could pull it off.”

11. A classic look.

“Jeans, a white t-shirt and some black boots.”

12. Darn right!

“Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Dolly Parton.”

13. American icon.

“Converse will be cool until the end of time.

This is the hill I will die on.”

14. Skate or die!

“Skateboarding.

It’s still absolutely awesome to watch and super fun to practice.”

15. Pretty awesome.

“Electric guitar.

The Les Paul is like 60 years old and still cool.”

What do you think has never gone out of style and will always be cool?

Please and thank you!

People Talk About the Craziest Things They’ve Ever Seen at Parties

This is gonna be fun…

I can vividly remember some house parties (and some field parties) that got a little bit out of control when I was in high school and college…and maybe a few years after college, as well…

Hey, we were all just living our best lives!

Are you ready to hear some party stories!

Let’s get wild with some folks on AskReddit.

1. Oh boy…

“Got a gun pointed at my crotch by the girl whose apartment the party was at. She laughed and said it wasn’t loaded.

Then some guy called her back over to the table where he was sitting. He said, “give me that.” And proceeded to pull out the magazine.

I left about then…”

2. They blew it.

“These guys were trying to cook a pig which none of them have ever done, so these geniuses came up with a plan to build a fire pit, lay the pig on top, then place a cast iron bathtub over the pig to cook… all day.

When it was time to feed the partiers, they removed the tub to find nothing but ashes.

They cremated a pig.”

3. Time to go to the ER.

“I once got stabbed in the f*cking chest at a party.

This guy had a ceramic plate of wings (was drunk) and I accidentally bumped into him (dropping his wings and plate) he got so mad he picked up a shard of the plate and stabbed me with it.

I ended up going to the hospital but was mostly ok.”

4. A wild night.

“Halloween house party, everyone in costume except one guy.

Everybody is having a good time until that guy goes on a rampage and throws a guy dressed as Shaggy through a ground floor window and just paces around the room like a wild animal looking like he’s going to do it again.

Everyone’s in a state of shock or going out to check on Shaggy. My mate Pete (RIP) calmly folds up a chair and smashes the guy over the back with it WWE style and then threw him out.”

5. Whacked out.

“An extremely drunk/high guy (I have no idea, he was wobbling around and hallucinating) and he made my bed.

I watched, also fairly drunk, from the corner of my room, as he fell on top of it over and over while attaching the sheets and tucking them under the mattress.

Guy’s mother must have drilled some crazy sense of duty into him.”

6. He nailed it!

“A very fat friend of mine was extremely drunk and said ‘Im gonna do a flip!’

He did a complete front flip, landing on a plastic chair, which broke and sliced his arm open.”

7. Ahhh, don’t worry about it.

“Austin, Texas 2008ish…

I was living with 6 people in hyde park and all of us were under 30 and kind of a hot mess. We were all good friends and would drink way too much and go to parties all the time.

So one of my room mates hits me up and tells me about a party nearby and gives me the address. I don’t really know anyone there but I don’t really care because I’m gonna go get drunk anyways…

So I ride my bike over to some apartment complex and start looking for the right apt number. I take a turn around one of the buildings and suddenly I see a fully naked 20 something girl making out with a fully clothed 20 something dude in the parking lot. She is pressing him up against the wall and both if them are too busy to notice me.

So I nope the f*ck right out of there, and wonder how the f*ck anyone could be that bold. I repeat this girl was full on naked, like without any socks or nothing in a parking lot alley of sorts at night.

I finally find the right apartment and my roommate still has not made it.

I break the ice with all these strangers by telling them about this weird *ss scenario that just happened and everyone has a good laugh. It turns out a bunch of them live here too and they start to ask me what they looked liked.

Just as I am finishing the details about what the guy was wearing and what the girls hair looked liked the people that were f*cking walk right in the door…

Dead silence, then straight up “Hey, this new kid just saw you f*cking in parking lot!” Followed by howling and cackling. The girl (who was surprisingly clothed now) turned bright red and dragged the speechless guy she was with to her room in dead silence.

By this point I felt like I f*cked up. I knew it would be a good ice breaker but I never would have in a million years expected them to walk in the door.

Then someone who lived there said not to worry about it and handed me a beer.”

8. Terrible.

“Guy tried to kill himself in the bathroom tub by slashing his wrists. It was a small-ish party in an apartment with one bathroom so people had to pee so thankfully they got to him in time.

We broke down the door when he finally said what he was doing and called an ambulance.

He lived. Also went to a psych ward for a few weeks after this.”

9. Left a mark.

“I went to a college Halloween party about 8 years ago, there’s was this dude dressed up in a pink gorilla costume just going ham, life of the party!

Dude went a little too hard, he ended up throwing up directly into his gorilla mask (while wearing it), and then followed it up by power yeeting himself down the stairs!

An ambulance came for him and we saw him again the next morning when he returned as a regular colored human and a cast on his leg.”

10. Make yourself at home.

“Hosted a party once and stayed sober so my house wouldn’t turn into a wreck.

Walked into my room and saw the biggest guy in my class (bodybuilding kind of big) drunk AF sitting on my bed watching reruns of Spongebob Squarepants and eating nachos.

Then looked at me dead in the eye and said “What? It’s a good show”.”

11. That’s not good.

“I went to a house party that got out of control. I was part of the ‘clearing out squad’ and I found a very coked up dude in the bathroom washing his face in the sink which appeared to filled with blood, like horror movie levels of blood.

Apparently he was punched in the face by somebody with a big ring which had sliced his nose, essentially, off. I will never forget him stuporously turning towards me to say something and his nose following his head on a 2 second delay like a door on a hinge.

He looked like Red Skull from the Marvel movies.”

12. Lots of weirdos out there.

“A random guy who wound up at a house party asked a couple people if they had her*in, and after we kicked him out he came back to the smoker’s area in the alley out back and tried to physically carry a drunk girl off down the back alley.

We intervened and got her inside and safe, but that was pretty f*cking crazy.

Be careful out there kids.”

13. Didn’t go back there.

“House party in 1990, I was 19 and in college. The crowd was mostly farm and ranch kids, rodeo team people, a lot of HS girls.

I was drinking a beer at the kitchen table talking to some people, playing one-card-no-peaky. Two brothers lived in the house we were partying in, parents were gone. There was a rear-projection TV in the living room with MTV or something on it.

The older brother, maybe 20, was laying on a beanbag on the living room floor in front of the TV. Younger bro comes in, sees older bro asleep on the beanbag. Younger bro decides he’s going to fart on older bro while he sleeps. Younger bro undoes his pants, drops his trousers, and squats over older brothers nose…and pushed. From my perspective the whole thing was silhouetted by the television screen.

A lone turd slithered out of younger bro and landed on older bro’s face. Younger bro whispers “oh, f*ck” because older bro had opened his eyes. Younger bro takes off running out of the house. Older brother sits up, sniffs, picks up the turd, and yelled “you sh*t on my FACE!”. Dead silence all around.

Older bro gets up and leaves the room and heads down the hall. Comes back a minute later with a 12 gauge pump, feeding shells into the magazine as he walked. Younger bro is outside getting into his truck when he sees older bro coming out the front door. YB fires up his truck and tore out of the yard while OB is shooting the hell out of the back of that pickup.

I didn’t party there anymore.”

Okay, now it’s your turn!
