    Once I bought fat free plain yogurt.... WHAT A MISTAKE. Had to throw all of it out. I'll stick with regular or flavored.

    So what's the nastiest or most disappointing packaged 'diet/health' food you've had?

    for me it was Designer Protein's cookies 'n creme protein powder. I swear, the stuff tastes just like liquefied play-doh

    Quest bars, Artic Zero, Gladiator Protein. Walden Farms dressings. groosssss

    Chia seeds...gross!
    Low fat/fat free dairy products, they taste like sadness.

    I haven't tried many diet foods, so I'm drawing from a small group of items, but I tried Halo Top for the first time a couple of weeks ago and found it inedible. I feel so betrayed, MFP Forum. ;)

    Shirataki noodles win. And this is coming from someone who's pretty open to various "health foods" as a vegetarian (and ex vegan of 3 years). Also, any cheese substitute, except Teese.

    Chia seeds. I kept seeing it pop up in my friends food journal and they described it as a tapioca taste. I ruined my oatmeal with that lol. Also hemp fiber powder. Taste like straight dirt but works so well and is cheap

    Nutritional yeast "cheese" sauce recipes. Sorry, vegans. That stuff is nasty. Not at all cheesy.

    Seltzer water. Even the flavored ones, like LaCroix. Too bitter/salty for me. I had such high hopes for them too!

    I almost forgot about LaCroix! I tried one of their flavors at Kroger and ended up waisting 25 cents.

    I wish that's all I wasted! I couldn't find any singles, I bought a whole 12 pack. I did give it to a friend who loved the stuff though, so I guess it wasn't a waste.

    I am pretty picky when it comes to ice cream, mainly because I can do without it. I have tried a couple of flavors of Halo that went straight in the trash. But Peanut Butter Chocolate, and Chocolate, are simply delicious. If you've not tried those, you haven't give them a fair shot.

    While in South Africa I picked up some biltong. On a lark I picked up some ostrich biltong at the cash register. As I tried it there was an interesting spice taste and I offered some to the driver. He accepted as I mentioned how flavorful it was.

    As he started chewing his, I was hit by an incredible horrid taste of rancid ostrich( fat?). Oh yuck. The driver wasn't pleased to hear to hear my discovery. We were driving down the road(wrong way round) at 100km!

    I like most Quest bars fine but the Lemon Pie one....omg that one is like eating floor cleaner. I also found the Walden Farms pancake syrup oddly unpalatable. Vega protein powders are pretty gross too imo
