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!

Any musical.

Cadburys chocolate.....full of crap fat since the yanks bought the company, altered the recipe & reduced the cocoa butter content

@ The Shinning

Cadburys should be called "cooking chocolate"

Centre Parcs. Very expensive Butlins.

Mrs Brown's Boys is beyond shite.

I was just coming on to say exactly that!

Father Ted, on the other hand, is brilliant.

HD brows.
Prosecco.
TV Soaps.

Any musical.

@Greenpop21

Noooooo! You have spoilt my afternoon. Yes, there are some shit ones like Brigadoon, but also lots of really good ones.

David Walliams books...way way overrated.
I haven't read any Sally Rooney books but I'll take your word for it.

Thailand
Dogs
Sushi
Afterlife
Hotubs

Gel nails
Designer sunglasses
Designer anything
Dogs

India
Magicians - I know it's a trick I can't suspend my disbelief that far
Musicals - Don't keep breaking into song, I can't suspend my disbelief that far either.
I don't think I have a very poetic soul!

Carveries

Oh my god strike you down OP💀 Don’t diss that meatballs 😜

Game of Thrones.

Sorry @SluggishSnail I just can’t bear that precocious forced style of singing. “Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow!”

Forgot musicals, opera give me a headache.

Nando’s

Centre parcs

Yes to multiple posters who said Prosecco. Also:

HD brows
Gardening

Cornwall. I used to have some friends who just couldn't imagine why anyone would ever want to go anywhere else (so I am probably quite prejudiced against it).

I went to a wedding there once. It was pretty but took a really long time to get there.

Olives
Oysters
Going to the gym

Oh God yes, Prosecco! I know someone who refused to drink anything else.

Hot tubs
Star Wars

YY to;

Musicals - utterly cringeworthy, every last one.

Nandos - went once, don't get it (and I do like a bit of dirty food, so there's no snobbery involved here).

Any sparkling wine from cava to prosecco to vintage champagne, it's all fizzy battery acid.

Agree with Bali, underwhelming, full of animal cruelty.

Also agree with Pride and Prejudice, actually any 'social fiction' from the Regency period. Actually with the exception of Mary Shelly, ALL Regency prose and poetry. What a bunch of ponces.

And I shall add - Grey home decor, it's just about acceptable on Georgian panelling. I really don't understand the trend for grey interiors in a grey country.
