    Jello is gross.

    Not sure that’s really unpopular.

    I dunno...every time someone asks for suggestions for low-cal snacks, people always jump in with the sugar-free Jello. Blahhhhh.....

    Such a joyful, jolly, jiggly, colorful food . . . made by boiling boiling animal skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones. Yum!

    I've got nothing against people eating meat, or eating gelatin, if they like it. I used to eat gelatin, and probably still would if not vegetarian (even though I don't think Jello per se is tasty, gelatin is an ingredient in some tasty things). But this food, Jello, in particular, causes me just a tiny bit of cognitive dissonance. 😆🤣

    (It's the "unpopular opinions" thread, right? 😉)


    I use a vegan gelatin free jello- agar also works

    Right? Like who wants tendons in their fruity dessert? It could taste fine but just the thought of it turns me off. Yuck.

    I just got dragged for saying ketchup on fries is gross. Also the appropriate condiment for tater tots is salsa.

    I'm in that camp too...I don't ketchup period. Salsa on potatoes is delicious!

    While that’s really pretty, it looks so gross to me.
    I have said here before that my mother wasn’t a very good cook. I’m just remembering jello dishes of my youth. That creamy layer would have been Milnot with no sugar, and I see raspberries, strawberries, carrots and celery in the jello. Just no.

    I hate pizza. I'm not American and I know it's almost a religion in US. I just can't stand the taste. I'd rather waste my calories on ice cream or chocolate cake. I eat pizza like twice a year ( I ate today. I wish I hadn't 😭😭)because I get a
    mad craving for some reason but It tastes like cardboard to me🤢🤷

    To be fair, a lot of the pizza out there is really, really bad pizza. I definitely like really good pizza, but yes, a lot of it does taste like cardboard, and that's very sad.

    Ikr?? I only eat pizza at high end authentic Italian restaurants here. I really can't stand Dominos. I had a really good pizza in Feb 2020 from a place called Chicago pizza but they are closed now coz it's not a very popular dish here🤷

    I think most salsas you find at the store (shelf stable) are disgusting. FRESH pico is great though

    Agree (don't feel this way about hot sauces more generally), but homemade salsa is great. I don't generally put it on potatoes, however, but I can see the appeal.

    I love black licorice

    I'm going to send you alllllll of the licorice-flavored Jelly Bellies in the monster-sized Jelly Belly mix that my husband brought home from Costco.
    It's the only flavor in there that I don't like.
