Foods that sound great but disappoint?

A good creme brulee is heaven in a shallow bowl. I had a beautiful one in Michael Smith's restaurant in Halifax years ago. Served with fruit compotes on the side.
Also I was at a restaurant once and the "chef" tried to convince me it was supposed to be "runny". No, no it isn't.
Oh hell naw, no it's not one bit! What a pogue.0 -

Hahaha sorry. That's what I call Mcdonalds0 -
Oh, sounds great but totally disappointed?
Nathan Myrhvold's recipe for a "modernist" pastry cream. It never set!0 -
cheap "chocolate" that's more sugar/corn syrup than actual chocolate. looks and smells wonderful but then...everything goes wrong, lol.0

Most colourful options from Dunkin Doughnuts…
I keep expecting there to be some sort of filling, but it's just coloured sugar on a doughnut.0 -

Also, I agree on oatmeal. Bleugh. But I do love dragon fruit. Some can be a bit bland, but there are some that are really sweet - luck of the draw, really. I also agree on pizza. I didn't like pizza at all as a kid! Now I kinda like it, but not as much as everyone else seems to and I'd rather spend my calories on things I like more.
Yes to the Oreo! I'm American and I just can't stand them. It seems like they'd be lovely but they're totally devoid of flavor and the consistency is so weird! Like, why would cream be so solid in the middle?
I do like oatmeal, but rarely. I typically make instant oatmeal (I know) and I try to find the high fiber cinnamon flavor to ensure I am filled up. I add some chunky peanut butter for texture and fresh bananas. My big issue is that I really need a significant amount of protein for breakfast so I don't eat my own arm off by 10am.
Recently I've been finding that I prefer smaller batch, higher quality items (how snobby). For example, I like cheddar, but I'd rather have good, aged Vermont white cheddar than shredded kraft. Or I like fresh, homemade pasta more than boxed. I'd rather have a smaller amount of good food than a decent amount of lower quality food.0 -
Tofu Shiritaki noodles.0

Coffee mate brand (I think) pumpkin spice coffee creamer- was not nearly pumpkin-y or sweet enough!
Dannon Light n Fit strawberry cheesecake Greek yogurt- did not taste like cheesecake at all. so disappointing, but I should have known better!
I also think we could be twins! I don't like yogurt at all, greek or regular. But more importantly, I don't like pumpkin. I keep trying but on my list are: pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin spice anything, pumpkin beer, pumpkin coffee. I do eat my dad's pumpkin pie, but I wasn't int the mood this year for it so I didn't have any. I recently purchased some pumpkin soup from Trader Joes, so we'll see if it breaks my streak.0 -
The new Jif Whips - I got the S'mores kind and it was not nearly as glorious as expected0
-
Cinnabon.
Times when I've decided to indulge myself, I regretted it!
Oatmeal. I could eat it all day. With maple, coconut, walnut, cinnamon, blueberries.
Also love Greek yogurt.
Funny how things differ for people!0 -
Never regret cinnabon. It's what angels are made of. Delicious angels.0
-
Cauliflower pizza.
Oh, wait, that doesn't sound great, it actually sounds like *kitten*.0 -
And Greek yogurt with protein powder. Tried it after people said it tasted like chocolate pudding. Clearly those people have never had good chocolate pudding.
They do actually make an instant protein pudding that is friggin delicious, though.
The chocolate flavor is best, IMO.

I agree with the Oreos and the smaller amounts of high quality items; actually I kind of think those go hand-in-hand. I would rather spend my calories on one delicious cookie than a few Oreos.
I'm so sad for all the oatmeal hate though--I eat it every morning for breakfast, made with almond milk, strawberries, and cinnamon. And I look forward to it every single time.

Twinkies. I've seen them in films and TV since I was a child and was so excited to finally have one, not disgusting, just disappointing0

I've actually found that I love oatmeal but only if I put like 300 calories worth of topping on it... it's pretty sad. I need to try making it with almond milk though... made it with regular milk and it made really no difference at all.
