Not aibu just intrigued. This thread was done on here ages ago and it was so fun. I have two:

Pasta is gross, I'll eat it but its not delicious as people make it out to be its cold slimy dough.

I'm sure she's nice but Beyonce is overrated.

I don't think the first one is controversial, just not said often, but Sikh fashion is the most beautiful clothing on the planet.

Plastic burger cheese is better on a burger than even top tier cheeses like applewood, brie and stinking Bishop.

Phrasing something as "my truth" doesn't mean "the truth" so I'm instantly zoned out of the conversation. Plus it makes me irrationally angry.

Sexy underwear makes me feel like a joint of belly pork.

Lwrenn, I love this comment.
Especially the belly pork bit 😂

Bananas are evil in ALL of their forms and must be destroyed. I don’t care if it’s a milkshake, banana bread or ESPECIALLY those dastardly banana chips in muesli that COULD be coconut…BEGONE all of you.

Grimm's rainbows are pointless and not worth the extortionate money they cost.

I agree with you on this one too. Grimm's rainbows are more for the parents than the child and are usually a good indicator that someone is going to be a self-appointed "better at parenting than you" type.

Most dogs are annoying. Dog mania in this country is a crock of shit and afaiac dogs can f.off. Along with a decent chunk of their owners.

Oh, and trifle is gross.

I was with you until the trifle comment. I could eat a bowlful. Right now.

The big summer family holiday is a massive waste of time and money.
Dito Christmas.

Northerners aren’t genuinely more friendly than Southerners.

Dishwashers are a ridiculous wast of space, just get your Marigolds on and get stuck in. Done in a fraction of the time by hand.

The life of intense media scrutiny and high profile social appearances inflicted upon the British royal children is a kind of child abuse.

School is largely a waste of time for the majority of children - its greatest social function is allowing parents to remain economically active.

Most people are still a bit racist in some way or another. They are just much better at saying the right things in public.

British humour isn’t really much better than most other countries, and the way some Brits like to self congratulate themselves on their self-awarded hilarity is distinctly unBritish! (Of,course there are definitely some standout British sitcoms - Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, The Office etc, but nowhere near enough to warrant the hype)

Most, if not all, profiteroles are shit.

This is not lighthearted!🤣 (apart from the profiteroles, and you’re wrong they’re amazing)

Fake/ burger cheese is better on burgers than proper cheese.

I really like spending time with my parents, extended family and in laws. Especially my MIL who is really helpful and fun.

lucknowsilver · 20/02/2024 09:42

The Barbie film was utter shite.

EsmeSusanOgg · 20/02/2024 09:43

I also don't like trifle. Never have. Give me a good crumble instead any day!

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 20/02/2024 09:43

I don't like the Beatles or Kylie Minogue. I think all their voices are very overrated although they sing good songs.

blondiepigtails · 20/02/2024 09:44

I love the idea of a wedding but I always want to go home after 3 hours because I'm bored. I'm about to be MOB. Everyone is asking if I'm excited. No, I'm not but I'm pretending because it's my beautiful DD's big day and I will have the best day for her.

I hate binge watching tv shows! It makes it go too quickly. One episode per night for me 😅

I’m so glad I’ve found someone else who does this! If I’m really enjoying a series I want it to last for weeks and weeks, not just a couple of days!

SweetcornFritter · 20/02/2024 09:46

Most household interiors on Rightmove with emormous clocks and sickly epithets written in squirly writing on the walls. “Live, Life, Laugh, Fuck Right Off”.

Novemberweather99 · 20/02/2024 09:46

Harry Potter - just don't get the hype
Grey/blush pink decor - awful
Prosecco - what's the big deal....same with gin!
Friends (TV series) - load of shite

EsmeSusanOgg · 20/02/2024 09:47

I enjoy going to weddings - but can't be bothered with the chore if they are childfree (I like big family friendly ones).

I love Christmas - including cheesy lights and all the add ons. Except elf on the shelf, because I find him a bit creepy.

I love any excuse for fancy dress.

I enjoy spending time with my small children and would be part time work if I could afford it.

TallulahBetty · 20/02/2024 09:47

Beyonce is overrated in every way.
People who have sugar in their tea are pathetic. See also vaping.

SweetcornFritter · 20/02/2024 09:47

Ditto enormous cocks come to think of it.

Novemberweather99 · 20/02/2024 09:47

Anything salted frigging caramel

I think Sex and the City was an absolute pile of vacuous shite.

Agreed,disgusting stuff.

KimberleyClark · 20/02/2024 09:50

DM boots are ugly. Especially with dresses.

Chip butty is meh

lucknowsilver · 20/02/2024 09:53

Young women are wearing too much make up and look like porn stars.

ZebraDanios · 20/02/2024 09:54

Sportspeople are not heroes, they’re being paid (sometimes vast sums) to do their hobby.

Yuckyyuckyuckity · 20/02/2024 09:56

Bacon in burgers is disgusting.
As is a chicken and bacon combination.
Cold bacon sandwiches are the worst.
Bacon on a fry up is usually unnecessary.
Bacon generally is overrated.

Can you tell I'm not a big fan of bacon lol. Every now and then I like a hot crispy bacon sandwich but people seem to go wild for the stuff.

maryhadalittlegoat · 20/02/2024 09:57

I absolutely love doing the school run and love standing on the side lines watching DC play sports more than anything.

Christmas is way better now DC don't believe in Santa
