OK, share things that "everyone RAVES about" but when you tried it/went there/ate it etc it left you properly underwhelmed and you've almost ashamed to admit it. Don't need to give details or reasons, just name THE THING
I'll start........

Cake is great, but most icing is vile. Far too sweet and in the case of buttercream fatty as well. Not worth the calories.
Sweet popcorn. Salted all the way for me!
Fruit that should be sharp as well as sweet but isn't, e.g. apples, citrus fruit. What a disappointment.

Fancy food

Ragwort · 14/10/2017 18:54

Watching the same film you have seen before - as in 'It's our family tradition at Christmas to watch ' - why, you know the ending. Confused Even worse if 'hot chocolate and snuggles are involved' Grin.
