What "trendy" foods do you have no interest in trying?

I love mochi, but as an asian, this is not a trendy food for me. Similar to Chinese nian gao which is one of my favourite childhood food memories.
I was less than 4, and was awoken in the middle of the night and carried downstairs where to my surprise the house was heaving with guests. I wondered if this was what the grownups did after I was put to bed. Someone shoved a piece of nian gao, or sticky sweet steamed rice cake into my hands. Later I found out that nian gao is traditionally served on New Year's Eve, and one of my parent's party guests must have convinced them to wake me up to see the fireworks. I am still fond of nian gao and recently bought the ingreients to try to make it myself.9 -

A couple of years ago I was in Potbelly's around Thanksgiving and saw they were promoting this ridiculous pumpkin pie shake (whole piece of pie in it, something like 2000 cals for the shake). I didn't know it was a thing, and I don't get the appeal at all.3

I typed in "what is a flex bowl" and got "The idea of a flex bowl comes from the IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) school of fitness nutrition. Basically the aim of the bowl is to use up whatever remains of your macros at the end of the day.
Having said this, flex bowls can be consumed any time of the day – if you can fit it into your macros!
The beauty of a flex bowl is how versatile and easy they are to put together. They can contain whatever you want (yes, naughty ingredients are allowed!) in whatever quantities you need." (from https://www.myprotein.com/thezone/nutrition/what-are-flex-bowls-iifym-meal-planning/)
I don't bother with using up my macros, so not interested in trying, but in that it can include any foods, I imagine they can be good.
When I typed in "what is" the first option I got was "malort" which isn't trendy, but I seemed to hear about it more last year and this one than ever before, and I have no interest in trying it.2 -

I'd never heard of that - you made me look! 😆 (It didn't come up that fast in predictive search for me, maybe because you're in Chicago, and I'm not? Google is clever that way.)
I'd try it, though I don't want a whole big bottle. I'm a big fan of green Chartreuse (yellow is OK, just not as good), which gets some hate from a lot of people, too, so I might like it. (Didn't like acquavit, though.)
Never know until I try. 🤷♀️2 -

So, a bagel?
Or the Everything But The Bagel season that is just the toppings that would go on an Everything bagel?
If EBTB, I love that! But I believe it was one of Oprah’s favorite things a few years back1 -

Bacon/pork is disgusting
I liked pork (before becoming vegetarian in !1974!), more than other meats, mostly the non-smoked types (side pork > bacon). Bacon is seriously over-rated these days IMO (even if I still ate it), especially bacon-flavored everything: Bacon chocolate, bacon martinis, bacon-wrapped everthing no matter whether sensible or not. Tooooo much.
I agree. I used to eat meat and loved the taste of beef, chicken, lamb, and goat but pork was absolutely gross to me.
Pork was the first meat I gave up eating around age 7. I was absolutely unable to swallow it.
Bacon-flavoured sweets/pastries are an abomination.
Salted caramel is another trend I wish would die a speedy death. Because my father had to restrict sodium I grew up eating very little salt and I have a real aversion to the taste of it. Don't mess up lovely caramel with salt!0 -

Ha! You beat me to it.
I think this trend is due to meal prep meets Instagram.
