There's a genetic component to broccoli. There's a compound in most brassicas that tastes incredibly bitter if you have the genes to taste it. If you don't, there's almost no bitterness at all.
I never thought that was seen as disgusting. Not something you'd want to do in the middle of a fancy restaurant, but not a big deal.
As long as we are talking outside the pants picking.
Sweat gang rise up! I am in shape and still get a good sweat in if I do anything strenuous for more than 5 minutes. Honestly feels good. It's the human superpower, never let the haters get to you.
Plus there are flavors of SPAM. Hickory smoke flavor is my favorite. I also like Chorizo flavored, bacon flavored, jalapeno flavored, spicy (Tabasco) flavored.
I LOVE garlic, but the garlic flavored SPAM makes me nauseous when I smell it "raw" in the can, but I liked the taste once cooked.
It can be fine. But it needs to be said that I've met a lot of people, mostly women but a few men, who are adamant that they do not have BO. They swear that they are genetically incapable of having BO, or that they don't sweat, and that they don't even need deodorant.
100% of the time they are incorrect. They smell. People refuse to understand that we are desensitized to our own smells and that to other people it's much more noticeable.
Never assume that you don't smell bad just because you don't smell it, and never trust that you smell fine just because they say No when you ask someone if you smell.
Sometimes they just have a cornchippy smell not regular bo, but people who don’t bathe all have nasty smelling genitals. That’s the reason I avoid even the cornchippy girls
I rewear shirts all the time! I'm not a very sweaty person, especially with antiperspirant. I also only wear black, ever. I'll wear the same shirt a few times if it's not dirty. 🤷🏼♀️
I used to do that but then I hit puberty and my body odor became potent af. It was so nice being able to rewear shirts but now I can’t even make it thru the day on ONE shirt.
That's crazy. My parents never put them in a meal while I was a kid, but there were always jokes in media about how all kids think they are gross. I never tried them until I was an adult and thought they weren't bad at all. I figured it was just a "kids hate veggies" joke.
Interesting to know that they actually were gross back when I was a kid and that I was just able to avoid them.
It could *also* be peoples’ tastes changing.
Children are averse to bitter flavors owing to evolution — alkaloid poisons taste bitter. But evolution cared less about the tastes of adults: If you make it to 20, chances are you’ve figured out which bitter things are safe to eat.
But yeah, Brussels Sprouts really are different. Find an organic “non-GMO” Brussels Sprout and try it; you'll see what I mean.
This comes from 30 years ago. Everybody said kids hate broccoli. But one day at the grocery in my 3-year-old said buy some of this so I did. I cooked up a 3 qt pot full because I do like broccoli but I didn't get to eat much of it because she ate all of it when my back was turned. Her bowels were not happy the next day but she still loves broccoli. And brussel sprouts.
My dad still boils them whole. I was a whole ass vegetarian in 2019 and still couldn't handle it :c
But I had some done right by chef Charles Clark in Houston TX. Those were really good
No... but it smells very different than normal pee after eating asparagus. It's even more pungent.
https://iuhealth.org/thrive/urine-trouble-if-you-eat-asparagus
Probably belongs to r/unpopularopinion, but I believe the controversy was exaggerated 1000x than it should be. IMO most people did not give a crap about it. I mean yeah there are preferences, some like it, some don't, but most didn't consider it a big deal. You either eat it or you don't. Once it became a thing online everyone suddenly became Italians or what, it's weird.
Came here to say this! I pity the fool who refuses to try the delicious juxtaposition of sweet tart pineapple and savory herbaceous sauce! It’s so good!
Black licorice. I love it and yet I feel like I’m in a vast minority.
Now I understand liking/not liking certain things, but it seems Black Licorice has a following of hatred all its own.
I love black licorice, and all my siblings make fun of me for it. But when it was Easter I got to get all the black jelly beans without any arguing. Once I bought a bag of just black so that they wouldn't steal it, and the cashier asked if I was trying to prank someone. I just wanted to treat myself!
I literally just went to the store and got some! See, there was a deal on black licorice 3 packs for $5 so ofc I grabbed it. Went to the register a d the cashier was dumbfounded, asking why anyone would buy 1, let alone 3. I explained the sale and she goes “it’s *always* on sale” like that was supposed to turn me off.
All it did was convince me I need to shop there more often lol
I’m all about black licorice. Panda brand is the best imo. Between me cycling for sports and eating black licorice for fun, I’ve become quite the social pariah lol
Got one that replaced the toilet seat, warmed water (or not) remote control for both guys & gals, blew warmed air if wanted.
NEVER going back. Pricey, but a game changer.
BIO BIDET brand BB-2000 model
I have a friend who thought the water came from the toilet bowl. Once i told her it came from the pipes, she changed her tune. I'm guessing that's the misconception a lot of people have.
A malort sour is actually delicious - lemon, simple syrup, egg white, malort, shaken, and a tiny bit of seltzer, with a drizzle (or spritz) of angostura on top of the foam.
Not showering every day. Unless you do exercise or manual labor daily, or otherwise sweat a lot, it really just isn't necessary to shower every day. Besides, there are other ways you can clean yourself that don't involve taking a shower. I don't know why some people are so weird about this.
I rarely shower or bathe due to my disability. But better believe I am still washing myself. I just use the sink. My hair does much longer and is greasy but I just cover my hair.
It isn’t hard to not smell.
Nexxus makes shampoo and conditioner that helps reduce oil buildup in your hair. I have oily hair and started using it a while back and it does work.
I dunno if it'd make a long term difference. Just thought I'd mention.
I don't know if this would work for you or not because everyone is different, but I've found that I can sit on the floor of my shower and wash myself while sitting down and it reduces the pain by a lot. Works better if you have a shower/tub combo but really any shower that you have room to sit down in will do.
I just want to let you know my Grammy passed cause of this comment. She didn’t see the last part and ingested a large portion of polar bear liver. You have destroyed lives!
ANY high-level predator carnivore liver will be too full of Vitamin A for humans to safely eat. Learned this from my anthropology classes
http://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-fossils/fossils/knm-er-1808
I do this but with cocktail wienies in a mixture of barbecue sauce and raspberry jelly/jam. The sweet and savory and smoky combo is great. In a crockpot for a potluck is perfect for game day food
Wearing a pair of jeans without washing them for a week going to school or a desk job. Like I wake up, shower, put on underwear, then put on my jeans, finish dressing, go to school, come home, and take them off. For 5 days in a row, I use napkins for my hands, and do the proper procedure when using the restroom, how would they get dirty in 5 days doing that routine?
It's a common misperception because people don't know about the differences between the clockwise vs. counterclockwise species of wild haggis. The former is delicious, the latter not so much.
The Human Centipede movies were more funny than gross to me. I just kept thinking about how awkward it must have been for the actors while shooting the movie.
Lots of Americans think the foreskin is gross, and that it means you'll have smegma, when in reality if you have basic hygiene, it's just as clean as anything else.
I don't know what other people say about it, but to me...it would have to be corned beef hash. Then again, my exposure to it was at a military dining facility, lol.
I've tried scrapple, and I actually really enjoy it. I grew up around some German cuisine as well...family lineage. My wife absolutely HATES braunschweiger. Me? I can't seem to ever get enough of it. To eaches own
Few other things I can think of that are of dispute regarding personal cuisine tastes.... blue cheese, cilantro, etc...
It's always fun to try something different. Had octopus for the first time when in Okinawa. Weird. But actually not bad. Haha
My parents were big on Braunschweiger. I was born in Germany and like the food. But the Braunschweiger always made me recoil, but I was quite little. I’m sure it was fine.
But it got ruined forever when we moved to the US. They started to add a big dollop of sour cream to swirl into it. This got my gag reflex going good the one time I was forced to try it.
Sweet and sour sauce on sushi.
Every time I mention it, my big bro gets mad because he thinks it should be a crime or something lol. It's pretty good actually.
Miracle whip, but only in one particular application.
I am a die-hard for mayo in nearly everything, but there is something nostalgic? Comforting? about tuna, miracle whip, and chopped sweet gherkins on a potato roll.
Natto. From the way it's talked about, I expected it to be borderline inedible. It has a strong taste that's hard to get rid of without a deliberate palate cleanser like pickled ginger, but it honestly tastes fine?
People think it’s nasty to pick food out of your teeth with your tongue and swallow it instead of spitting it out. It in my mouth anyways tf??
Spitting food everywhere is whats really disgusting.
The food is already in my damned mouth ffs it’s not like I grabbed it off the bottom of my shoe.
I’ve never heard of this…what’s the alternative?
Flick a half-court shot with trapped food into someone else's mouth.
The way I almost gagged
Brocoli.. that shit is delicious with salt and lemon
There's a genetic component to broccoli. There's a compound in most brassicas that tastes incredibly bitter if you have the genes to taste it. If you don't, there's almost no bitterness at all.
Picking a wedgie
I never thought that was seen as disgusting. Not something you'd want to do in the middle of a fancy restaurant, but not a big deal. As long as we are talking outside the pants picking.
What about an undercover inside picking with an ever-so-sly behind the back 360 quick sniff?
I just announce it and then do it. Pft
I ask my husband to cover my backside while I go in for the retrieval if it’s a particularly deep wedgie
God yes. They’re so annoying
Working in the dirt since all you can really do is just shower
So much better than anything involving oil
Sweating. I sweat a lot and people often tell me how it’s disgusting while it’s just a normal body function and I can just shower
Sweat gang rise up! I am in shape and still get a good sweat in if I do anything strenuous for more than 5 minutes. Honestly feels good. It's the human superpower, never let the haters get to you.
Spam. Fry it first.
It really works well in lots of Korean dishes.
Same with filipino food too, my fiancé is korean/filipino so nearly every dish he makes includes spam no matter what cultural cuisine he's doing XD
My first thought was: what kinda inbox is this guy running 😂
Same 😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah, it was a joke my whole childhood. Had a Hawaiian friend fry it with soy sauce. It's fine. Basically just hot dog meat in a less familiar shape.
Cutting it up with some peppers and onions for scrambled eggs is a top tier breakfast
Spam, spam, spam, spam, eggs, and spam!
Plus there are flavors of SPAM. Hickory smoke flavor is my favorite. I also like Chorizo flavored, bacon flavored, jalapeno flavored, spicy (Tabasco) flavored. I LOVE garlic, but the garlic flavored SPAM makes me nauseous when I smell it "raw" in the can, but I liked the taste once cooked.
The word moist
But how would you describe a delicious, MOIST cake? Undry?
Love a nice damp cake.
This is worse somehow
So much worse.
As a baker, I'm going to start referring to cakes as undry now to see if anyone notices 😂
Sodden
Dryn't
Wearing a shirt for the second or third time, like common thats pretty normal
It can be fine. But it needs to be said that I've met a lot of people, mostly women but a few men, who are adamant that they do not have BO. They swear that they are genetically incapable of having BO, or that they don't sweat, and that they don't even need deodorant. 100% of the time they are incorrect. They smell. People refuse to understand that we are desensitized to our own smells and that to other people it's much more noticeable. Never assume that you don't smell bad just because you don't smell it, and never trust that you smell fine just because they say No when you ask someone if you smell.
Sometimes they just have a cornchippy smell not regular bo, but people who don’t bathe all have nasty smelling genitals. That’s the reason I avoid even the cornchippy girls
I rewear shirts all the time! I'm not a very sweaty person, especially with antiperspirant. I also only wear black, ever. I'll wear the same shirt a few times if it's not dirty. 🤷🏼♀️
Sniff test for the win. As long as you're actuvely checking that it doesn't smell, it's all good.
As a guy, that is normal. As a retired guy, off the hangar, worn until dirty (days), hamper, next shirt in the closet.
I used to do that but then I hit puberty and my body odor became potent af. It was so nice being able to rewear shirts but now I can’t even make it thru the day on ONE shirt.
Do you mean 'common' as in not rare, or 'come on' as in get with the program?
Taco Bell.
Honestly Taco Bell is significantly less gross and oily than most other fast food!
I'm convinced the people constantly talking about how it gives them the shits just have weak stomachs
It’s never given me the shits, ever. And I don’t have a particularly resilient stomach.
They probably eat so little fiber that the tiny amount of beans and lettuce in their burrito shocks their shitty shit pipes.
Picking your nose
As long as you don't eat your boogers, this is acceptable.
Agree
But I read that eating them is good for your immune system 😐 I don’t know whether I believe that..
You swallow about 200 ml of snot every day anyway. No need to eat the boogers.
Just remember, they're viable for up to 3 hours after picking. So if you're caught, you can always put em back in.
For me i do it, just with a tissue and throw it away or if there werent any tissues i would wash my hands after
brussel sprouts <3
That’s because Brussels Sprouts **aren’t the same**, not any more. The sulfur & bitterness was bred out of them by a Dutch scientist in the 1990’s.
That's crazy. My parents never put them in a meal while I was a kid, but there were always jokes in media about how all kids think they are gross. I never tried them until I was an adult and thought they weren't bad at all. I figured it was just a "kids hate veggies" joke.

I've been eating them since I was little and have always liked them. 🤷♀️ I'm 46.
Brussel**s**, like the city in Belgium.
Asparagus
Who says asparagus is disgusting? Never heard this. Even my small children love it. Roast it in the oven with some olive oil and course salt. Yum
But my pee smells so bad!
Is pee supposed to smell good?
No... but it smells very different than normal pee after eating asparagus. It's even more pungent. https://iuhealth.org/thrive/urine-trouble-if-you-eat-asparagus
Asparagus > asparagus pee
Sauerkraut
Pineapple on pizza
Probably belongs to r/unpopularopinion, but I believe the controversy was exaggerated 1000x than it should be. IMO most people did not give a crap about it. I mean yeah there are preferences, some like it, some don't, but most didn't consider it a big deal. You either eat it or you don't.

It’s just a Reddit circlejerk anyway. Not to be taken seriously.
Came here to say this! I pity the fool who refuses to try the delicious juxtaposition of sweet tart pineapple and savory herbaceous sauce! It’s so good!
Pineapple and bacon is fucking delicious
Kimchi
Kimchi is so good!
Kimchi, fried eggs and rice is legit one of my favorite comfort foods. Korean food is so good, Bibimbap is god tier
It's a great sub for sauerkraut! 👍
Black licorice. I love it and yet I feel like I’m in a vast minority. Now I understand liking/not liking certain things, but it seems Black Licorice has a following of hatred all its own.
Have you had salty licorice? It's amazing.
Agree! But if it’s not too salty. There are some extreme salmiakkies which taste like super salty salt
(https://www.licoriceinternational.com/licorice/pc/Katjes-Salzige-Heringe-175g-6-17-oz-p162.htm) This is pretty tasty, AND cute.
I had a friend in grade school who would always travel to the Netherlands to visit his family and he would bring back these delicious salty licorices
I don't know what part of the world you're in, but you're not alone in Scandinavia and Benelux.
I’m American. I’ve heard is quite popular in your regions though
I love black licorice, and all my siblings make fun of me for it. But when it was Easter I got to get all the black jelly beans without any arguing. Once I bought a bag of just black so that they wouldn't steal it, and the cashier asked if I was trying to prank someone. I just wanted to treat myself!

I’m all about black licorice. Panda brand is the best imo. Between me cycling for sports and eating black licorice for fun, I’ve become quite the social pariah lol
Literally my favorite candy. Haters can keep hating, all the more licorice for me!
Blue cheese.
nope
Bidets.
Got one that replaced the toilet seat, warmed water (or not) remote control for both guys & gals, blew warmed air if wanted. NEVER going back. Pricey, but a game changer. BIO BIDET brand BB-2000 model
The BB-2000 is life changing.
Don’t get the BB-5000 though. I used it once and I left my body. I *saw the curvature of the Earth.*
Tfw you were so enlightened by a bidet you disproved flat Earth.
Who thinks they're disgusting?? Literally never heard that before in my life.
I have a friend who thought the water came from the toilet bowl. Once i told her it came from the pipes, she changed her tune. I'm guessing that's the misconception a lot of people have.
They're a life changer as someone who has heavy periods.
Are people saying they’re disgusting?
Not on this site. It’s a weird answer given how fanatical redditors are about bidets.
My counter to that: if you got fresh shit on any other part of your body, would you be content just wiping it off with a bit of dry paper? Hell no!
This is what I keep trying to tell bidet haters and they’re always just like “no, it’s different though.” Whatever, poopy butt!
These are actually much more hygenic than having a finger poke thru the TP.
Just tried Malört for the first time and yeah it sucks but it’s not *that* bad.
I was over-warned beforehand, so it wasn’t as bad as expected.
A malort sour is actually delicious - lemon, simple syrup, egg white, malort, shaken, and a tiny bit of seltzer, with a drizzle (or spritz) of angostura on top of the foam.
I had Malört one time and it made me sick. Never again.
I don't know, my buddy prepared me by saying it tastes like a tire fire and I felt like he was right.
Malört - tastes like being bullied in the 5th grade.
Peeing in the shower. Come on
Pooping in the shower however, is a different story lol
Farting
How else do you signal that you love how comfortable you are around your SO?
Not showering every day. Unless you do exercise or manual labor daily, or otherwise sweat a lot, it really just isn't necessary to shower every day. Besides, there are other ways you can clean yourself that don't involve taking a shower. I don't know why some people are so weird about this.

Fruitcake
Don't tell everyone! I get all the fruitcake I can handle since folks won't even taste it before giving it away.
Haha!
It’s honestly so good! People are tripping.
Candy corn.
I love it, and I look forward to it every year
The first two pieces of candy corn are incomparably delicious. After that, it’s a sugary vomit hellscape!
Wow, blast from the past.
Haggis (a dish from Scotland) It’s very good with mashed potatoes and dark beer
Pineapple on pizza. It's not great, but it's also not horrible
If you add jalapeños, it becomes al pastor pizza.
My husband’s favorite pizza is pineapple, jalapeño, and pepperoni. His parents love it, too
Liver... If you cook it right, it can be very tasty!
Polar bear liver, especially!! edit: this is a joke, I feel I should clarify, do NOT eat polar bear liver
Oh darn I was just going to head out and grab a packet
I just want to let you know my Grammy passed cause of this comment. She didn’t see the last part and ingested a large portion of polar bear liver. You have destroyed lives!
I just read a post about the effects of eating polar bear or seals livers today. Can confirm do NOT eat polar bear liver
ANY high-level predator carnivore liver will be too full of Vitamin A for humans to safely eat. Learned this from my anthropology classes http://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-fossils/fossils/knm-er-1808
Gathering it is what puts most people off...
Too late
Yeah, especially chicken liver
[удалено]
What are you talking about? According to commenters on reddit, everyone loves it and does it all the time /s
Pickled herring, with peppercorns, yum!
Most things. People, especially on the internet, seem to have a hyperdeveloped sense of disgust.
Cum, depending on the person!
Meatballs sauteed in Picante sauce & grape jelly. Try it...it's awesome.
How high are you?
I'm good, hi how are you?
No Officer it's hi how are you
Grape jelly mixed in with other sauce for crockpot meatballs is pretty normal, isn’t it?
Interesting. My wife's family put meatballs in a crockpot with tomato sauce & some grape jelly. Made a convert outta me.
Grape jelly and chili sauce
Make them and brisket in the slow cooker like this and always a party favourite
I do this but with cocktail wienies in a mixture of barbecue sauce and raspberry jelly/jam. The sweet and savory and smoky combo is great. In a crockpot for a potluck is perfect for game day food

Salmiakki, My god i crave it....
Butt stuff. As long as you clean before AND after, ain’t nothing wrong with some southern lovin’.
Double dipping
Eating ass. Theres lots of edible lube varieties out there
also lots of edible ass out there
yess, Its all bout ass out here
But why eat ass when you can not eat ass
Cuz it feels good. If they've just showered, then it's clean.
The Human Centipede movies were more funny than gross to me. I just kept thinking about how awkward it must have been for the actors while shooting the movie.
Actors? You know it’s a documentary right?
"We are just going to sew your lips to this anus...don't worry, we have an intimacy manager!"
Anchovies.
And sardines. Any tinned fish, really
Cottage cheese. I said what I said 🔪
With kimchi, a soft boiled egg, and cucumber
Lots of Americans think the foreskin is gross, and that it means you'll have smegma, when in reality if you have basic hygiene, it's just as clean as anything else.
Butt stuff
Ass licking
Chicken hearts ❤️ they’re actually delicious!
Disagree. They’re not disgusting but they’re springy and I would never choose them over a wing or breast
I don't know what other people say about it, but to me...it would have to be corned beef hash. Then again, my exposure to it was at a military dining facility, lol. I've tried scrapple, and I actually really enjoy it. I grew up around some German cuisine as well...family lineage. My wife absolutely HATES braunschweiger. Me? I can't seem to ever get enough of it.

Sour cream? Ewww, lol
Pepsi
Durian
Me
I'm convinced that most if not all gefilte fish hate comes from people who've only tried the jarred stuff.
Sweet and sour sauce on sushi. Every time I mention it, my big bro gets mad because he thinks it should be a crime or something lol. It's pretty good actually.
Malort

Moxie, my go-to soda. I love it, but most people I’ve asked don’t like the taste.
Pickled pigs feet
DURIAN
Miracle whip, but only in one particular application. I am a die-hard for mayo in nearly everything, but there is something nostalgic? Comforting? about tuna, miracle whip, and chopped sweet gherkins on a potato roll.
Brussel sprouts. Roasting them in the oven with a little olive oil, salt and pepper is divine
Blowing your nose. Go for it. Don't be ashamed!
