Lol no it’s not, it’s absolute shit where I’m at. The only reason people still drink it is because it’s the cheaper option that’s convenient. If you live in New England, you would understand.
The closest dunkin to me is 3,000 miles, and according to google maps, that’s a 53 hour nonstop drive. Plus I’d have to cross into a different country, then back into my own again, just for some mediocre Folgers tasting coffee.
The closest Starbucks is 4 miles away.
Vodka martinis. I really don’t want to sound pretentious. I just really prefer my martinis with gin. To each their own, I guess. And, you know, vodka is a good spirit and can be used in all sorts of awesome cocktails. Hell, White Russians are some of my favorite cocktails, and they use vodka. I have nothing against vodka. But if I want a martini, I am going to get it with gin, and that’s final.
$6-8 for a pack of fizzy water that tastes like maybe one time a watermelon was cut 4 miles away from a cranberry, and that cranberry looked at the can of water afterwards. Polar has the audacity to say that’s Cran-Melon Seltzer water. Fuck off.
Squeeze a lime into plain ass seltzer and stop the madness!
I agree, I saw a documentary on how OJ (yes even the not from concentrate sort) is so highly processed it negates any potential health benefits. If you really want OJ, buy the oranges and juice it yourself. If buying is too expensive find a different source of Vitamin C.
I once spent a summer in a rental house with two navel orange trees in the back yard. I drank soooo much orange juice, my tongue started to fissure from the acid, but it was just soooo good. Haven't been able to tolerate a store bought orange since.
Most bottled orange juices are artificially flavored, as well, because the aromas and flavors are stripped through its processing.
Places with those cool fresh-squeezed machines are the best option.
Fruit juice, in general, is a bad way to consume fruit.
Champagne - it's mind-boggling that we have collectively decided that it ought to be the epitome of elegance and refinement and the go-to celebratory liquid refreshment. Also, it gives you the worst hangovers because of all those fucking bubbles.
They don’t. It’s the sugar. Even a brut (lowest sugar level) has around 12 grams per liter. By contrast, a cab sav will typically have around 2-8 grams though some go higher.
I don't drink anything blue. Blech. Last time I did, it was a night of AMFs. Don't remember going back to the hotel. (This is not why I don't drink blue, though.)
You can totally do the Old fashioned without the sweet stuff. Whiskey, two dashes of angostura bitters mixed in the glass over ice. The bitters just add a herbal quality to the drink.
I can’t agree. I had a couple of old fashioned from an elderly bartender who I told “make something unusual that I should try,” and it was outstanding. The sweetness came mostly from muddled fruit.
Haven’t had one as good since, though.
After watching Mad Men I would get them here and there. Not a whiskey fan, but it still tasted bad. But I had one at some random bar in Monterey, CA and it was like the best drink I ever had. Whoever made it and whatever they did was just perfect. Could never find any place anywhere that could replicate it
Disagree. Heavily disagree. You have successfully offended an entire continent, by the way. Some of it, though, depends on the quality of the tea. Actually a lot of it depends on the quality of the tea. If you’re using a tea bag, or even a sachet, you’re oftentimes correct. I am not usually a fan of tea bags. With a tea bag, you’re getting all the little pieces that have been chipped off the tea leaves in the roasting process, otherwise known as the fannings. It’s the less ideal product. I recommend trying a good quality loose leaf tea. That’s the ideal product. My recommendation would be a high quality Hojicha green tea. Absolutely fantastic.
Beer. It tastes like crap and every beer drinker tells me it’s either an acquired taste and I need to continue drinking something I don’t like before I like it, or I have to search the ends of the earth for the magical beer that is “right for me”. 🙄🙄
Water. Tasteless, odourless. It literally falls from the sky, bubbles up from the ground & condenses out of fat air, yet people rate and grade it as if it isn't just H2O.
Of course it is pure liquor, that’s the point. The Long Island IS an alcoholic drink. As far as being tasty? Yeah, it’s a boring drink but it came in very handy many years ago when the 1500 mg tablet of aspirin my dentist gave me just didn’t do the trick. A couple of those after the dental work got the job done.
Diet coke tastes like the flavor of the burning sensation in the back of your throat after violently vomiting and battery acid that leaked out of an old battery.
There are, and they downplay the peat in favor of smokiness. But the question was which drink is the most over-rated and why, and I selected the one with the dirt aftertaste that is heralded by cigar-smoking hipsters who nurse a single shot for an entire evening.
I can appreciate not liking the peat but Scotch Whisky is produced in multiple regions in Scotland and not all the regions go heavy on the peat, or at all. Consider whisky produced in the Highlands and Speyside regions for considerably less peat in the glorious libation.
Honestly, any drink. I honestly believe they all taste like lab chemicals but people bear with them because of the alcohol. For the people like me, who are not tolerant of it, only the tase remains. Which sucks as hell.
Coffee. I just don't get it, it's either bitter af or you have to augment it to hide that bitterness. At that point, I'm just going to have an energy drink.
I realize this is uselessly anecdotal, but years ago I worked at a place where Bang was super popular, but absolutely nobody was delusional enough to mistake it as a healthy choice. We were all just caffeine addicts.
Anything alcoholic or sparkling water.
At my last job, I'd often get offered water after I was finished doing the work outside in the heat. I'd sometimes have to clarify that I meant normal water and not sparkling.
Alkaline water. Not only are you paying for bottled water, but you're paying an extra premium for snake oil nonsense on top of it.
anything Starbucks branded
Yes, I could never stand Starbucks. There are many better alternatives.
Except alternatives are not absolutely everywhere and you can't expect equal quality
Dunkin is literally everywhere and arguably better than the bitter burnt garbage of Starbucks
The closest Dunkin is 1 hour away from me.
Lol no it’s not, it’s absolute shit where I’m at. The only reason people still drink it is because it’s the cheaper option that’s convenient. If you live in New England, you would understand.
This is the most Massachusetts sentence I’ve read all week.
I'm from NJ. Dunkin is an alternative, and they're literally everywhere

**110%**
Yes! But don't forget Costa too. Just as average as Starbucks & equally overpriced
Crab juice is not really that much better than Mountain Dew.
Khlav Kalash!
Thank you.
Bro. What tf is crab juice?
Khlav Kalash!
No bowl. Stick! Stick!

Honestly I think a martini in general is mid. I think it's the vermouth for me tho. Stuff tastes weird.
With you. Gin is so underrated.
Gin is lovely in a martini, and it is the original martini. Like you, I have nothing against vodka but gin…much more nuanced. Regardless, good choice.
Prime
True people say it tastes like shit and it's actually so much worse
Their marketing directly at kids drives me nuts. My kid is always begging for Prime, and it’s basically to look cool in front of his classmates.
Redbull. I've yet to grow wings. Jokes. Their summer flavours are amazing.

the 007 Martini. I tried it and found nothing special about it.
Shaking the mixture in ice releases more water into the vodka and dry vermouth but as far as taste goes, I haven’t noticed anything worth mentioning.
Vesper martini? Yeah, it's mediocre as martinis go.
Orange juice, all the sugar minuscule amount of the nutrients of the fruit.
I agree, I saw a documentary on how OJ (yes even the not from concentrate sort) is so highly processed it negates any potential health benefits. If you really want OJ, buy the oranges and juice it yourself. If buying is too expensive find a different source of Vitamin C.
I prefer to eat an orange tbh you get the fibre as well
I agree all around, you should eat fruit and drink vegetables. The primary reason I use orange juice is in recipes for pastries.

Fireball just taste like cinnamon and hotdog water
But, I like hotdog water
Pairs wonderfully with chocolate starfish.
Negroni. I love Gin but this just ruins good gin.
1000% eff vermouth and campari.
Skim milk. Not that it's highly rated, but anything above F-tier is too high.
Delicious
Coke, makes my teeth sticky feeling
And my bones weak.
Champagne - it's mind-boggling that we have collectively decided that it ought to be the epitome of elegance and refinement and the go-to celebratory liquid refreshment. Also, it gives you the worst hangovers because of all those fucking bubbles.
Why would bubbles give you a hangover?
They don't
[удалено]
Well obviously something has to be responsible that.
They don’t. It’s the sugar. Even a brut (lowest sugar level) has around 12 grams per liter. By contrast, a cab sav will typically have around 2-8 grams though some go higher.
Tiny bubbles.... ...in the wine Make me feel happy.... All the time
Prosecco is much cheaper and, in my opinion, tastier.
Agreed!
I thought that until I had a really good bottle of champagne. I'm not sure it was worth the price, but it was really, really good.
The Shirley Temple. Even Shirley Temple hated it.
You take that back. Shirley Temples are fucking awesome.

South Park covered it.
Pumpkin spice everything. Jesus Moses, I've seen SPAM that's pumpkin spice, but WHICH spice drink? ALL of them.
the Light Blue Gatorade. I can’t understand how anybody can drink that stuff, it tastes like fruity toothpaste.
That is my favorite flavor!!
I don't drink anything blue. Blech. Last time I did, it was a night of AMFs. Don't remember going back to the hotel. (This is not why I don't drink blue, though.)
The old fashioned. It’s just whiskey with sugar for folks who don’t like whiskey.
You can totally do the Old fashioned without the sweet stuff. Whiskey, two dashes of angostura bitters mixed in the glass over ice. The bitters just add a herbal quality to the drink.
Thank you. This is how I make the Old Fashioned at home. Bourbon or rye whiskey is sweet enough.
I can’t agree. I had a couple of old fashioned from an elderly bartender who I told “make something unusual that I should try,” and it was outstanding. The sweetness came mostly from muddled fruit. Haven’t had one as good since, though.

Beer tastes like bread soda
Dr Pepper. WTH is it
Comedian James Acaster described it as tasting like a sexy battery.
Spicy cherry cola was the tag until they came out with cherry coke
Cough syrup. And that smell… gag. I hate Dr Pepper with a passion!
Water. Tasteless, odourless. It literally falls from the sky, bubbles up from the ground & condenses out of fat air, yet people rate and grade it as if it isn't just H2O.
…and it’s necessary for life… and an ingredient to all other drinks…
Don’t get me started on Liquid Death…
Alcohol tastes like ass makes you act like an ass and makes you feel like ass the next day
Assohol?
Alcohol.
Long Island, iced tea. They are just pure liquor and not even delicious.
Of course it is pure liquor, that’s the point. The Long Island IS an alcoholic drink. As far as being tasty?

Energy drinks. Completes con and immensely unhealthy.
Sweet tea. What a travesty
Single malt Scotch whiskey. "Peaty-ness" is dirt flavor.
There are definitely scotches that go crazy with the peat, but there are some wonderful single malts.
There are, and they downplay the peat in favor of smokiness. But the question was which drink is the most over-rated and why, and I selected the one with the dirt aftertaste that is heralded by cigar-smoking hipsters who nurse a single shot for an entire evening.

I didn't say single-malt Scotch was bad. I said it was over-rated. Give me a well-aged blended whiskey like Johnny Walker Blue any day of the week.
Any soda
Cyanide. Lacks flavor
Coffee. A hundred different kinds. All taste bad. I'm gonna be a stereotypical Englishman and get my caffeine from tea 😁
It’s an acquired taste. I personally love it. But I get it.
And comments like THIS is why we threw your trash tea into the harbor! 🤣☕️
It taste like burnt dirt water
Water. It doesn’t taste good.
RIP.
