    Not necessarily a food but found in the grocery section so ... I think energy drinks are the absolute worst. They're disgusting, and nothing but chemicals. I tried them a few years back and got horrendous migraines. A friend of mine drinks them religiously and mixes them with torani syrups! Sooooo gross. Can't understand why she has daily migraines, her hair is falling out, or why she feels ill.. she's seeing a migraine specialist now and can't put two and two together. She doesn't believe me it's her drinks doing it. Ick!

    Seaweed "chips". They taste like ocean-rot.

    I tried these once because I kept seeing them at wegmans and they "sounded" good wow only 40 calories for a pack of these "chips" but YUCK. I almost vomited they were so bad.

    Coconut oil, coconut water, salted caramel, my flatmate buys all of this stuff and it seems like he's just trying to be trendy.

    I don't refuse to purchase anything. If I like it I buy. Who care what anyone else thinks.

    Lite beer. Why, just why?

    I'll tell you the same thing I told my dad when I ordered a bud light and he said "*scoff* That's not beer." me: "Right. And I don't like beer."

    Haha love this thread. For me...

    kale
    tofu noodles
    kombucha
    Water infused with veggies
    Smoothies with spinach
    popcorn in a bag (I don't understand why this is so popular, there is literally a whole entire aisle at my grocery store dedicated to already prepopped bagged popcorn)

    Kombucha is so good though. Drinking some now :) GT's Trilogy

    I grow kale every fall. It is an unfussy vegetable. Grows fast and holds up to frosts. It's earthy flavor goes well with the bean soups I make all winter. However, that is really the only thing it's good for. Kale chips taste like spicy farts. Kale salads are impossible to chew. Vegetables in smoothies in general are just... no.

    I laughed so hard at this my sides hurt... :D

    Chia seeds. Tried it once and it grossed me out

    I never tried it but I know so many people that swear by it. I just don't understand the purpose of it.

    1/3 of its weight is fiber.
    I got some for signing up for a 5k. I was looking for recipes for my dad and I admit, chia pudding sounds super tempting to me. I made myself a PB&J recipe I found on Pinterest.

    I can't find it right now, but ...

    There was a TV commercial a couple years ago where a person about my age is talking to the camera while her daughter is making a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries in the background. She says something like, "my daughter is a great discoverer of her time ... she has discovered superfoods!" Then she lists off some and indicates the bowl of oatmeal with blueberries. The daughter wanders off, and the mother continues ... "What she doesn't realise is that we've been eating these things all along."

    I think the ad is for a brand of oatmeal that has been around forever.

    It's funny. :)
