Hotel Chocolat chocolate. I've just had the salted caramel puddles and they were nothing to write home about (and I love chocolate).
To be fair, I have plebeian chocolate tastes Blush and it could just be that their milk chocolate has a higher cocoa content than most, and doesn't taste creamy enough.
I still don't enjoy their chocolate though.

Over to you.

Any “gourmet” burger place (it’s just McDonalds with plates)
California
New Year’s Eve
Expensive toasters
Big weddings

and I’ll agree with previous posters on “salted caramel anything”.

McDonalds - cardboard pap masquerading as food. In fact, the words McDonalds and food are the epitome of an oxymoron🤮

Sex
Pepper (I don't know how rated it is in general but I absolutely detest it, it completely ruins any dish it's put in, so any rating it gets is more than it deserves)
Holidays where you stay in one place for a week or two

Otoh, I really like salted caramel hot chocolate, biscoff spread, Middle Eastern food (when untainted by pepper), and afternoon tea, so clearly have different tastes from some of you.

Oh no, do we fail the test? Will this affect my future job prospects?? My mum will be so disappointed.

Calm down, maybe people recognise it's meant as fun and thought of more than one.

How can Ed Sheehan, with his millions of super-varied, self-written and performed, global No 1s , be considered overrated?

'not my taste' - of course. Overrated? Nah.

Tony Chocolonely, tastes of nothing.

Agree with this absolutely

Tastes of nothing at all and it's ridiculously pricey

The idea that we should all be size 8, makeup wearing, perfect hairstyled Goddesses. F**k off, and let me be fat and ugly in peace.

It ruins food

Food tastes great until you ruin it with pepper
