Things that people say are amazing but are actually shit

[Horehound]

I'll start:
The food at IKEA. Especially the over hyped meatballs!
Cheap crap!

Nando’s

Definitely agree re Ikea food. I have friends who rave about it- especially the meatballs, breakfasts and cakes- to the point that they will take a trip there just to browse and have some food (we live about an hour from the nearest store!). I have tried it a few times and quite apart from the taste it's always been lukewarm and I hate the school canteen style cafe. We have loads of cafes locally that serve lovely homemade food for about the same price so I really can't understand the appeal of a 2 hour drive to eat cold crap.

Meditation

Fake anything that is supposed to make a person more attractive, I literally just see fake stuff and can't see the person. If that makes sense.

I love emoji's I know I shouldn't find them so fabulous but I do.

Nando's.

This thread is making me sad as many of my favourite things are being dissed 😭

Gin. Just drink a bottle of cheap perfume and be done with it.

I have never understood the popularity of Coke or Ketchup or Pizza Hut. I don't know how they all seem to hold their 'top spot' at all!
Coke literally tastes of nothing to me, just mildly flavoured carbonated water. Give me a Dr Pepper, D&B, Lilt any day of the week.

@Sonichu I was going to say Gin too.

I loved Bali though, 25 years ago, so maybe those who don’t rate it have been more recently?

Gel nails are brilliant... nail varnish that stays the same without chipping or anything for like a month... the bright colours and patterns are just people’s taste, not the gel, you can get any colour you want.

Biscoff spread was sad though, love the biscuits, the spread is just weird.

Definitely Dubai!
Also Miami

Most West End shows

Also yes to fake stuff. That anyone thinks 3 inch eyelashes, caterpillar eyebrows and duck lips is anything other than repulsive is beyond me!

Nandos - OK, but really don't get all the hype, it's just chicken!

Social Media
Reality TV
Hot weather
Beach holidays

Grown ups (actually anyone) doing tik tok dances.
Picnics on sandy beaches.

Alcohol 🤢

The thing with nandos is its all about the sauces! They hold some magical addictive flavour that I just can't get enough of.
Without the sauce it'd be nothing.

Social Media

You know that MN is a form of social media right?

Gin
Prosecco
YSL Touché Eclat

Jane Austen.

Having children (another week of home schooling looms)

I can't stop thinking of more now...
I have to say the biggest mindfuck of all to me is The Big Bang Theory! God that show is bad.

Football
Nando's
Dubai
False nails
False eyelashes
Unicorns
Zoom parties

Prosecco is rank. Cava all the way.
