Things that are impossibly overrated

Post by Foo »

I will start:

Nutella - would rather have either chocolate or good peanut butter, or both. Expensive, overrated, and basically a sugar bomb masquerading as a gourmet item

The strength of my list will be its diversity. Here's a start:

Pumpkin Pie
Cocaine
Fight Club (good movie, but it's become this obnoxiously over-referenced bro bible)
Leather Jackets

Good lord, this! So many delicious fruits, and people make pie out of something that is practically inedible and has to be spiced and manipulated so much to be palatable. I feel like you may as well spend your time making pie out of poison ivy or dog shit.

I also can't stand coconut, no allergies. Is that overrated though? If anything it seems to be extremely divisive.

Holy shit yes. Can't believe that didn't come to mind. Almost everything before Rubber Soul is terrible. I do enjoy late 60s Beatles though.

I enjoy bacon, but people pretending it's some Godly gift from the sky is getting old. Sausage is better, anyway.

I've always felt that people vastly overstate the greatness of Leonardo di Caprio. Vastly overrated actor.

Mine is similar. I probably do love bacon as much as the general population, but the trend of people putting bacon on everything and pretending it works is annoying. Bacon has taken on a Chuck Norris-esque reputation.
