Things that everyone raves about that are actually shite

[Letmegetoff]

I'll begin...

ABBA voyage 'concert'
The London Eye
Harry Potter Studios

@Letmegetoff

Abba voyage is great.

brexit is shite

It’s not just beautiful is stunningly tears in the eyes beautiful.

Food festivals
Winter Wonderland

you win. nothing else can top this

I cannot live without a hairdryer!!!! I’m slightly jealous anyone who can.

Actually like most things mentioned on these lists, not sure what that says about me!

For me it’s spa days - hate being messed about with by strangers.

cold water swimming

Weighted blankets and musicals

Matcha flavoured everything
-lattes, cupcakes, biscuits/cookies/brownies etc
TikTok
80's fashion revival, esp high-rise jeans, and 90's plaid
False eyelashes and/or overdone brows
Witchy nails

Edited to add:
cold plunge trend at spas etc
just fill your bath with cold water and add a bag of ice or take a cold shower

@Pinkdaffodils900

So agree with you on coffee.

It's the only product where customers will pay money for something that takes longer to make and be served to you.

It's like paying a garage more money to fix your car so long as they take more time to do it.

I agree sadly. Ditto the theatre. I used to enjoy going to the ballet. Now too many people, already half cut, sit there drinking pints and talking. Strangely, the best place to watch live ballet now is the cinema. It attracts the traditional crowd (presumably trying to keep away from the drunk talkers). The ‘we’re in our living room set tend not to be in the screenings of ballet 🤷‍♀️

The Isle of Wight

@Ti7ch Yes yes yes!

University departments trying to be cool by making everything relate to Queer Theory.
Long fake nails - dirty.

Salted Caramel Everything, no thank you

Salted caramel anything
Gin
Toast clothing
Fake nails
Micro blading
Arm / hand tattoos (I have tattoos, I'm not anti-tattoo)
Lip filler

Both

I was looking to see how quickly somone said botox and filler. Mumsnet is so predictable 😂 one and a half pages in is good going!

Everything woke

Starbucks, 50 Shades of Grey books/film

Windchimes in the UK climate
The Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger
Bath bombs and greasy Lush soap
Phil and Ted prams - puncture after puncture, and really not very comfortable looking for the child in the back.

Everything woke

Hot tubs.

This sounds like a good night to me 🤣

Coconut water. Never got the appeal.

Bubble tea is one of my favourite things ever though. Sweet drink filled with little bursty balls of sweet flavour? Sign this sugar fiend up 😁

It could be a good night - I'll have beer and a pizza @StormingNorman , you have the gin etc. and we'll put some music on to avoid the TV conflict 😆
