I'll try new foods and drinks that are trendy or not, but I won't rebuy it or try it if it doesn't look appealing to me or I don't like the taste. The one thing I won't buy is those rainbow bagels. They look like play-doh and don't look good to me at all. A bagel does not need to be colorful to taste good, but everyone was lining up for one and going crazy about it. I saw so many posts about it and videos on it, but it just didn't look good to me.5

Actually, I will refuse to buy something that is labelled "Gluten Free" when the particular product it is doesn't have gluten in it anyway. I saw a bag of carrots labelled "Gluten Free" FFS. It wasn't even the brand being ironic.60

Lite beer. Why, just why?10

OK, I just googled them and yeah... you're 100% right. They look exactly like play-doh!3 -

This. I can't do "regular" yogurt. Something about it just hits me as vile. Greek yogurt though, I love. I've tried all of the variations I can find (0%, 2%, and full fat) and I have loved all of them.12 -

I think you're ok then since you were eating it before it became "a thing". It's the only yogurt in our stores here. I used to LOVE those yogurt whips from yoplait. They were like a mousse textured yogurt and I bought them all the time until they pulled them off the shelf and started replacing them with 100 calorie yogurts and Greek yogurts. Now, every yogurt here is greek, so eventually I just had to buy it or not have any yogurt at all.3 -

I've been eating hummus and dark chocolate for years ... long before I heard they were 'trendy'. In fact, this thread is the first I've heard of hummus being 'trendy'. But then I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing.

ohh yea i had those whips a few times loved that texture. My husband wants regular vanilla yogurt and it always blows my mind how much more protien the greek has. witchcraft if you ask me! lol.5 -
Well, I liked kale before it was cool. So I'm a kale hipster.
I don't buy coconut oil because I don't buy the claims that's it's now healthy.
Any new superfood to come down the pike. I still haven't had anything acai berry. Now I'm suddenly seeing sacha inchi seeds. Never heard of them. The last thing was hemp hearts. They had too many calories. Didn't buy them either.'
Oh, and I don't like Starbucks coffee. I think it tastes burnt.11 -
I guess I like some trendy foods then cause I love hummus w/ pita bread or Carrot's. But, I will only buy the original or red pepper. I like kale, but I also like other leafy green veggies. Maybe it's just cause I'm vegetarian or that I'm just plain weird? Who knows
I also have tried chia seeds. I have some in my fridge haha. I hate the taste of dark chocolate, but then again I'm not really much of a chocolate person and don't understand why people can get obsessed over it.
Ive had acai berry flavored things. It tastes like a tart blueberry/blackberry kind of red grape flavor. Good just not crazy about it.
I've tried some hemp protein before that was garlic and herb. It was gross.3 -

Yea, they were great. But, now they have yoplait 100 calories greek whips. The taste has some of the whip texture, but you can just tell something is missing cause it's too "airy" if that makes sense.It's not dense enough like the old one was.1
