You know I'm a frosting nut but I don't care for frosting on brownies. A glob of icing on one side of the plate and a brownie separate sure, but not together. I wouldn't even dip the brownie in it, even if it was a bad one. If it was a bad one I wouldn't waste the calories eating it. But now I want a warm brownie with dark chocolate chips all gooey and melted!
I know it's not essential, but I just added brownie mix to my shopping list, assuming I can just grab it off the shelf if I'm already in the aisle anyway
Arguing that brownies aren't essential . . . a whole unpopular opinion in and of itself, at least for me!
Brownies are ESSENTIAL in crisis. They will heal the world I'm sure of it.
I actually searched pantry-ingredient friendly brownie recipes after seeing this thread earlier. I'm going to do my part! (100% frosting-free, of course).

Along these same lines...I don't think cookies need frosting either. A good cookie doesn't need any accessories.1

Jumping on board the frosting train...
I once had a friend who firmly believed that white frosting belonged on apple pie.
Umm, no. Apple pie is delicious. Frosting is delicious. How dare you ruin them by putting them together.1 -

I can see this actually... kind of like icing on apple strudel??1 -

Agreed.0 -
Correct. I am not aware of cookies with frosting being a thing, but they should not be.1

The only cookies I've had with frosting were horrible cookies, the sugar in the frosting still tasted good though! Oh wait, my Mom makes these cookies at Christmas that are like chocolate cake with frosting, THOSE are amazing! I don't remember the name of them though. My favorite covering for cookies are shortbread cookies dipped in dark chocolate.0 -

There's an exception to every rule! I recall a chocolate cookie with a layer of mint in the middle and a thin chocolate coating on top which we all liked very much. And there is the Mallowmar, which needs the coating in order to exist.1 -

There is a distinction to be made between frosting, icing and ganache on cookies. Ginger cookies or lemon cookies with a thin icing... amazing. Chocolate cookies with a layer of chocolate ganache.. yes please. Sugar cookies with thick globs of frosting? Hard pass.1 -
Cookies should not have icing, period,0

Some frosting on some cookies can be good. Ganache is excellent on certain cookies.
Of course, ganache can also be eaten with a spoon, as it's basically just free-range chocolate truffles.
I don't really expect that last to be an unpopular opinion, except among the rare (and crazy) chocolate haters.

ganache is BEST eaten with a spoon 3 -
An iced ginger snap can be outstanding.5

Bacon is vile1

Butterscotch is terrible.
Tastes like chemically over-sweetened sadness.2 -
High quality frozen custard is FAR superior to high quality ice cream.1

I don't understand the fuss about ice cream. I mean, it's okay, but not a favorite and I certainly can't see myself eating an entire pint in one sitting!2

Ice cream is way better than most other sweets, including cookies and cake.5

Agree. I would rather eat a bowl of whipped cream than ice cream. Soft serve ice cream though....1 -
Ice cream with excessive mix ins/chunks/etc. is a total disaster.0

No such thing as turkey bacon. Turkey nor chicken have belly meat.... Those creations are vile, even worse than hot dogs IMHO.

A huge YES!!!

Bacon's okay; I can take it or leave it, actually. Though I have a favorite story from a New Yorker article on perfume manufacturers and scent seekers: at the end of the article, the writer asked if there was an absolutely irresistible fragrance. Yes, said the manufacturer. Bacon.
In general, I don't like pork, including sausages. I do like beef hot dogs, but really only Hebrew National, and for me to really like it, let it be grilled or broiled - dry heat, not wet, for me.1 -

Agree. I think this is why I’ve never been really crazy about Ben and Jerry.0
