Is there anything everyone likes?

Just looking at the John Lewis advert thread....I thought it was sweet but there are people who don’t...fair enough.

But are there some things that are universally liked?

For example

A kitten, who can’t like a kitten?
.
A walk on a crisp autumn day?

Also true

Is there nothing?

Nuffaluff · 07/09/2018 18:38

Rainbows.

9amtrain · 07/09/2018 18:38

I think there is such a vast range of people on the planet that there will always be someone who hates something that most of us love.

MarshaBradyo · 07/09/2018 18:39

Fresh air gotta be

Nuffaluff · 07/09/2018 18:40

No one. No one hates rainbows.
Everyone likes them and most people love them.

Have I won a prize? (Haven’t read full thread, so don’t know if someone has beaten me to it).

Nuffaluff · 07/09/2018 18:41

I mean real rainbows of course.

Not rainbows on clothes.

NerrSnerr · 07/09/2018 18:43

Not sure if anyone has mentioned but I think everyone likes those videos of babies having hearing aids fitted and hearing their parents voices for the first time.

The feeling of one of your babies ( if you have one) falling asleep on you and hearing their little sighs down your ear.
Being spooned in bed when your back is cold.
A takeaway on the weekend.
An early night in bed just relaxing reading a book or watching the tv with a nice hot cup of tea.

No to walking - i use a walking frame and its bloody painful; dislike cheesecake; as gorgeous as they are, not a fan of the smell of a newborn; oh god, not Christmas; completely meh about music, can't remember the last time I listened to any; tea is horrible, as is coffee; Gary Lineker omg no; Tom Hanks is creepy so no; Serena Williams - no, I hate tennis players who grunt; no to Nana because I hate the Royle Family and Dads Army and all soaps and Only Fools and Horses.

I'm going to second roast potatoes which a PP suggested on an earlier page.

SilverySurfer · 07/09/2018 19:11

NerrSnerr isn't that a bit niche? How many people do you think have watched such a video?

changedagain67 · 07/09/2018 19:12

Penguins.

It is scientifically proven that EVERYONE smiles at pictures of penguins.

NerrSnerr · 07/09/2018 19:38

@SilverySurfer I've seen a few shared on twitter and FB. Maybe to niche- look on YouTube though, guaranteed you'd like it!

Ifailed · 07/09/2018 20:05

Penguins Elephants hate them 'cos they can't get the wrapper off. Are you deliberately trying to annoy elephants?

3luckystars · 07/09/2018 20:06

Cake

3luckystars · 07/09/2018 20:07

Spoons. Surely everyone loves spoons, they do great things.

3luckystars · 07/09/2018 20:17

I’ve got it. An alarm stopping!

Everyone likes that.

LoniceraJaponica · 07/09/2018 20:35

Being able to wake up naturally without having an alarm, a child/baby/another person waking you up.

HashTagLil · 07/09/2018 20:39

Breathing?

tobee · 07/09/2018 20:51

My Dh suggests, based on this thread, having a good moan.

LanguidLobster · 07/09/2018 20:53

MN seems to universally like rose's lime cordial!

Meet0nTheLedge · 07/09/2018 21:11

I don't really like Rose's Lime Cordial and one of my DCs hates potatoes in all forms, sorry.

We do all like rainbows though.

VanillaSugary · 07/09/2018 21:27

Spoons. Surely everyone loves spoons, they do great things.

According to The Matrix, there are no spoons.

neffall · 07/09/2018 21:29

A wee when you’ve been busting for ages.

I see your wee and I raise you to a 💩

NashvilleQueen · 07/09/2018 21:35

Clean hair.

villainousbroodmare · 07/09/2018 21:37

What about when you wake in the morning and your bed is so cosy and you reach out to check what time it is and it's still over an hour before you need to get up! ?
