    Another one that comes to mind is Smashmallow. Flavored marshmallows are overrated.

    Yes! Angies and pretty much bagged popcorn in general.

    Also a LOT of these protein cereals. I had high hopes, but none were that great. m9q1a12zyxz7.png

    One more hiding under that paleolithic rock. It tasted sour and quite frankly, rancid. It wasn't outdated. The flavor lingered on and not in a good way. B)

    Oreos: just artificial flavours and sugar.
    Low calorie icecream: just artificial sweetener, and lots of air. You take a spoon full in your mouth, and you're left with a few watery ice flakes and a yucky taste.

    I didn't really care for the one Smashburger I tried.

    Halo Top, yuck! Walden Farms, don't know how people can eat that stuff. My favorite salad dressing is poppyseed and Skinny Girl's is often recommended, it's super sweet and I love sweet but not that much! The best I've found of a lightened one is Panera though I bought stuff to make my own. Fiber One brownies are another thing that are recommended often. They're not horrible but not worth the calories.

    The only Walden Farms stuff I like is their Pancake Syrup which I am completely obsessed with. I think it is so good!!! The rest of their stuff that I've tried is disgusting though.

    I also love Skinny Girl Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing! It has a lot of sodium though so even at super low calorie I try to limit it.

    But if you know how their food is prepared, it's less than desirable haha

    No way! The salads I make myself are 100000x better, bigger, tastier and cheaper! Their salads are not worth it and nothing special in my opinion. So much rather make my own. I think all their food is overhyped and over priced.

    Also I think all Starbucks drinks are over hyped and nothing great. I’ve had a few and was super underwhelmed and disappointed I wasted calories when I could make a similar drink at home for free and less calories.

    Anything they make I can make even better with my own skinny mixes syrups, almond milk, stevia and truvia.

    Alcohol. EVERY SINGLE TIME! Whenever someone tells me they have just the right mix for me to enjoy, I just don't. Some are more tolerable than others, but it says something when first thought is "this would be perfect if it wasn't for that little bit of alcoholic aftertaste".

    Steak. I have tried it countless times in countless restaurants and home preparations because everyone seems to like it so much so I must be missing something. Nope, I had to accept that I just don't like steak.

    Low fat Greek yogurt. I grew up eating full fat (even extra fat) so when I first found a low fat option I was happy. I was very disappointed when I tried it. The mouthfeel and "fullness" of it in my mouth so shockingly different. It made me a bit sad because it would have been a great option. I eat it daily so it would have saved me lots of calories.

    Diet ice creams, any and all. Every single brand I tried, and I tried quite a few brands and flavors. NO!

    Sweet popcorn. Heard a lot about it, didn't even give it a second chance. It just doesn't compute. It felt like you would feel eating fish smothered in Nutella. Does not compute because popcorn = salty. (I do love Nutella, by the way)

    But worst of all, my sleep paralysis monster, low or no fat hard cheese.

    I think I mostly love you!
    Have to say that I do like a glass of good, full-bodied red wine every now and then. Or a glass of good gin. The problem with that is that a good bottle of gin costs anywhere from 35-70 Euro. And once you calculate what that bit of clear liquid at the bottom of the glass costs ... well, it's not something I do regularly. But no, I don't like mix drinks (well, a good caipirinha might be an exception), beer, any sweet alcoholic things.

    YES to the Panera. They have a few decent soups, but they're just so expensive for what you get. And I haven't had a sandwich there that is worth the price. I honestly like Subway better lol (I know, I know).
