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........

Australia

San Francisco

Horrid place, ruined the end of our honeymoon. Should have stayed in Santa Monica longer!

Waytootiredtosleep · 14/10/2017 23:08

No way!!!!! .... how do Australia, centreparcs and wine make the list???? They r all amazing! :) To those that put those .... YABU!!! Grin

Mine is Harry Potter. I don't get it! I'm reading it to my 5 year old! and it's ok for a 5 year old, perhaps even quite good for an 8 to 10 year old I guess, but grown adults going hysterical over it???? I seriously don't get it !! Hmm

Is the Eden Project crap then? Been mentioned a fair few times.

I'm alsoShock by Australia and Great Wall of China being on the list. I mean I've never been to either but people rave over both. TGW is a wonder of the world, surely its great??

yoomoo · 14/10/2017 23:19

Another one for The Eden Project

justakiss · 14/10/2017 23:23

Got to disagree with pets. Well Dogs anyway. I can tell you with utmost clarity the cavalier Spaniel on my lap is not trapped and if I "set him free" he would get run over or starve to death. Hmm

butterybean · 14/10/2017 23:24

Venice - never got the love. Full of dog shit on the pavements!!
Fifty Shades (the book) - read 10 pages, yawned fell asleep!
Totally agree with Starbucks but in the US it is hard to find alternatives

justakiss · 14/10/2017 23:25

Yessssss to running. You know what else increases endorphins? Wine, sex, a good talk? Bottle it up and "get it out" with a run? = push a woman in front of a bus. Yeah, real zen.

FaFoutis · 14/10/2017 23:26

Yes Eden project is crap. I went twice to make sure.
