    What is a PSL?!?

    I don't care for mega-sweetened hot coffee drinks. It's like a hot milkshake: Why?

    I'm a skim latte lover. Typical me/barista conversation:

    "I'd like a large skim latte, please."
    "What flavor?"
    "Coffee. And skim milk."

    Some places (automated machines) don't even make them that way. WTFlip?
    I get my lattes with nonfat milk, I can’t tell the difference once the milk is steamed and frothed.
    Love my grande nonfat blonde latte :)

    Because milkshakes are awesome!

    Most of the time I want a standard hot non-fat latte or cappuccino. But every once in a while having a mocha is delicious decadence. Especially around Christmas when I can get a salted caramel mocha or peppermint mocha. It's hot chocolate with a hit of espresso.

    I don't even like coffee. No amount of milk, cream, or fancy sugar syrups will change that :tongue:

    Every now & then I'll drink a fancy iced coffee drink since it's more like a dessert, but the one time I got a PSL I felt like a cat lapping at milk. It was disgusting! Hot coffee is not for me. I'd rather drink diet soda for my caffeine.

    Coffee in ice cream is awesome.

    Seriously? This time of year and you don't know what a PSL is?

    I will put you out of your misery @quiksylver296 . They're pumpkin spice lattes.

    Gotcha.

    Those are yucky! Pumpkin spice chai teas, however?!? MMmmmmHmmmm, YUM!

    Salmon and Avocado are the foods of people I both envy and despise. I want to be them, but I never will be and their food sucks.

    I wish I liked seafood, but I just don’t.

    There are a lot of things I wish I liked that I just don't.

    1. Tomatoes
    2. Avocado
    3. Onions
    4. Fish
    5. Cilantro
    6. Brown rice
    7. Seafood (other than shrimp, can't stand any of it)
    8. Pears
    9. Milk other than cow
    10. Unsweetened tea
    11. Coffee (mostly for the warmth and caffeine)
    12. Spicy foods


    I could keep going, but I won't bore you any longer.

    My parents jammed onions into damn near everything they fed us when I was a kid, so my sister and I both have hated them our entire lives. It has definitely made life challenging...

    Same for me! Liver with onions. Spaghetti with onions. Potatoes with onions.

    I will literally go through my food spoon by spoon, bite by bite, discarding those little *kitten*.

    I hate cottage cheese.
    I also hate raw onions, but don’t mind if they’re cooked.

    A few more - kale never should have been upgraded from decorating the plate at Shoney's to something we actually eat
    - I don't really like any seafood other than lobster and will tolerate tilapia if it's soaked in lemon juice
    - Coffee is disappointing bc it smells so good but tastes so bad. If I want to drink something hot and sugary I'll drink hot chocolate
    - I've always hated Ranch dressing
    - I don't remember ever liking soda (my mom says I drank it when I was really little)

    Yes to all of these

    I can’t believe people like Scotch. It’s like licking an ash tray.

    Well yea, if you drink the crappy stuff. Good Scotch isn't that bad. Now Malort, that is a whole different story.

    I just HAD to go look that up. Why oh WHY? is all I can say.

    Tilapia is nasty!
    I think Tilapia tastes like dirt.

    I love seafood and I sort of share this opinion. It tastes like it has dust on it. I have had it spicy a few times and that helps.

    I love most seafood, but don't eat tilapia. Tilapia often seems to be the only fish liked by people who hate fish, which maybe is relevant.

    (I also cannot stand canned tuna, although I enjoy tuna steaks or sushi.)

    Watermelon is disgusting. Watermelon FLAVOR, on the other hand...is only slightly less disgusting.

    On this topic, anything banana FLAVORED is disgusting. I don't mind real bananas, although they're not my first choice of fruit.

    Same! My husband loves banana flavored taffy. The smell makes me gag.

    Bananas should also be on the green side. I'm done once they start getting brown spots. Unless it's for banana bread (even that I'm not crazy about. It's very nice a take it or leave it kind of thing for me).

    Banana-flavored taffy is one of the worst foods ever created.

    There is literally nothing right about it. The texture, smell, and flavor are all disgusting.

    It was on a Walmart ad I got a couple of weeks ago; looks like it's gone now. But never fear! You can still have Bob Ross waffles! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bob-Ross-Waffle-Maker-Bob-s-Iconic-Face-on-Your-Waffles-Waffle-Iron/383543079

    Me too! I love bananas and eat them daily but banana flavoring is awful. Cherry too.
