"Pie is trash." People are sharing their thoughts on 'overrated' foods on Twitter and it's very controversial.

The greatest debate of 2019 is currently happening on Twitter, and it’s over controversial opinions about food.

Like your family’s oven on Christmas, it’s getting heated.

This debate is like the great New York Times Aperol Spritz debacle of May, 2019, which condemned the ‘happy hour drink’ as overrated Instagram fodder. It also exposed all the other overrated foods we’ve been subjected to, like almond milk, kangaroo meat, stevia and vodka sodas… I mean, where’s the sweetness???

Apparently six fries are the perfect amount of chips to eat, and excuse us? Post continues below.

Twitter user Jon Becker (@jonbecker) kicked off the discussion by posting a tweet which asked people to comment with their “most controversial food opinion”.

Heated exchanges over the validity of lettuce, dessert, and mochas ensued.

Please quote tweet this with your most controversial food opinion, I love controversial food opinions

The responses make you realise not all taste buds are created equal. As in, some people have them, and others simply do not.

Here were the best… well, worst responses from the Twitter thread.

Raw onion should be opt-in only, not default.

Oreos are overrated. Oreos in ice cream doubly so.

If you replaced calamari with the rubber band that holds broccoli, and then deep fry it, no one would know the difference

Pie is trash. If I wanted hot fruit I would’ve microwaved some jam.

Lettuce is crunchy water.

I hate garlic. I hate it so much that I would Sharpie that sentence in block letters three times on a pad and then bellow it in front of a helicopter.

The bad rap that Brussels Sprouts had up until recently was totally deserved. They suck. Their recent acceptance/popularity is the work of the deep state.

I don’t get meatloaf. Why take a good piece of meat, disassemble it into specks, and then reassemble and overcook it? pic.twitter.com/xoh6A9zeHr

Ranch dressing serves no culinary purpose, expect to drown any bugs that might linger on salad or dipping vegetables.

Italian fine dining restaurants should not exist. There is nothing fancy about spaghetti

Vanilla ice cream is without a doubt better than chocolate ice cream

— BD (@LuckyNeckBeards) November 20, 2019

French fries and ice cream. Best ever.

Red velvet cake is gross. I hope it dies. I hate it.

Tomatoes should never be eaten raw

People who order mochas are just too embarrassed to order a hot chocolate.

— ???????????????????? (@ChasejustChase) November 24, 2019

Mint and chocolate do not mix. It just tastes like someone put toothpaste in the chocolate.

Olives are not food. They are pickled knots of tree anger whose only distinguishing characteristic is a byproduct of whatever flavor of liquid malice they have had the misfortune to be embalmed in.

I read through this entire thread and not a single person said anything brave so I will. Avocados are overrated, and guacamole tastes like shoe soles. ????????????

Olive oil is the other end of the tree’s emotional spectrum.

Macarons: look delicious, taste like polystyrene and glue

Sparkling water tastes like if water could go bad. pic.twitter.com/bBW9sDX0RM

In honour of the viral tweet, we asked the Mamamia office to share their most controversial food opinions. And we way never be able to look at some of our colleagues in the same way again.

– “Dessert is by far the least exciting course. I could happily never eat a dessert again. In fact: cheeseboard is the only worthy dessert.”

– “Drinking glasses of milk on the regular as an adult is perfectly normal. I’m laughing over here with my invincibones.”

– “Avocado is trash.”

– “I’m personally a fan of Vegemite and banana on toast. It kind of has a salted caramel-esque appeal.”

– “I have never eaten a Big Mac or a Pot Noodle and never will. Also, chocolate is overrated.”

– “My dad eats (specifically) burnt toast with Vegemite AND marmalade mixed on top.”

– “Brussel sprouts are the shit. Peanut butter is vile. Chocolate is just… ok.”

– “Tinned tuna is cat food. Don’t @ me.”

– “My Canadian Christmas tradition: mashed sweet potatoes mixed with a dash of orange juice (fresh, duh), then topped with roasted marshmallows and pecans… best served with turkey.”

– “I tried both the Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino and the Gingerbread Frappuccino from Starbucks recently. Both are truly horrid.”
