    Cheesecake. I've given it many tries and I just don't get the appeal. I love almost everything classified as a dessert, but I just can't take more than a bite. It grosses me out majorly.

    Also, anything that is supposed to resemble a pretzel- like pretzel rolls, bagels, etc. I always expect awesomeness but they are way too salty! I understand saltiness is part of the appeal of a pretzel but you don't need to dump the salt shaker on it.

    PB2 was also a disappointment to me. It's so low-cal, but I'd rather have real peanut butter.

    I second pretzels! I am from the UK and round here they aren't common so when I went to America I was really excited to try one! Blergh it was so salty and chewy and awful, and normally things like that. Dunkin Donut's did not disappoint however...

    Oatmeal (as so many others have said). Maybe it's because I'm from the South? Tried so many variations - it's just not good...UNLESS, they are in Peanut Butter Delights. :smile:

    Liquid coffee creamer is another one. Yeah, it tastes good, but it's not worth the calories. Try powder instead. More bang for your buck *and calories*.

    Any store bought dessert. If it's not homemade, I don't indulge. It's usually gross and the person that picked it up was running late and just grabbed something. Their bad decision doesn't have to be yours!

    Quinoa. I don't get the big hype about it. Having said that I bought a box a week ago, and I made it 3 times. Twice sweet, and it was great, but I really don't like it in any other way. On top of it it's very high in calories in my opinion.
    Or maybe I just haven't found a great recipe.

    Dragonfruit is the weirdest thing. It looks so strange and exotic and it tastes like nothing. Like water jelly if there was ever a thing.

    Oatmeal is delightful if you grind the oats up in the blender first. American/Euro oatmeal is so terrible because it is lumpy and gluey. Ground up it is more like cream of wheat. Cook the oats in milk instead of water, add a bit of sugar and whatever, and then you have something different than what we think of as oatmeal.

    Oreos are disgusting. The "cream" isn't cream. I never liked them and my hatred only worsened when I saw a show on how they are made. Nauseating.

    Cinnabon always smells so wonderful so I tried it not long ago. So nasty. A bland chewy roll that was drowning in a slimy gelatinous goop that tasted like hyper sweet cornstarch. My friend tasted it thinking maybe I had a bad one and said it was great lol. So gross. And this was before I started healthier eating.

    Now that I am eating healthier, most processed things are overly sweet, and/or salty, and taste of chemicals. It doesn't taste like food all.

    So true! I use to really like 'yogurt' covered raisins, jelly beans, gummy bears, twizzlers, peanut butter cup candy, etc.,

    Most taste 'waxy' and way too sickly sweet to me and like you said, 'tast(ing) of chemicals'.

    A while back I ate some Hershey's kisses as my daughter had some. I portioned out a serving (9 I think), but couldn't eat more than two. They just tasted horrible to me which is weird because I used to love them. I'm still convinced maybe it was a bad batch, lol.

    No it's Hershey. Sounds about right.

    Haha, for me its yogurt. I have never liked yogurt. The taste and texture just grosses me out. I've thought of a bunch of different ways to make it good, like adding cut up fruit and chia seeds and granola. Yeah umm, still hate it haha.

    Broccoli and cheese looks yummy, but it tastes horrible!!! Hate eating little trees.

    I thought I was the only one. I hate little green trees and little albino trees (cauliflower)!
