UNPOPULAR OPINION unpopularopinion + Join Posted by Just_another_dude84 8 day... reddit Oreos are the worst mass market cookie and are only popular because they're a cultural icon From a pure taste and texture standpoint, Oreos are a consistent letdown and borderline gross. The cookie itself leads with dry, bitter cocoa, leading to a crumbly and unsatisfying chew. The filling has no depth of flavor and is overly sweet. The bite finishes with a chalky mouth feel and lingering bitterness that masks the thin, sickly sweet aftertaste that clings to the palate like a thin film of regret. 1.5K upvotes Comment Copy link View 571 comments

This is insane

UNPOPULAR OPINION unpopularopinion Posted by cxrlxs · 8 mo. ago • + Join reddit Instead of dipping and pouring over, sauces and dressing should be sipped If you take sips out of your condiments you can get the perfect amount needed for each bite. Smaller bite? Just a smaller sip. Didn't like the sauce? You can leave it and it's no longer all over your food. Sauces should be able to hold their own anyway. If you have multiple sauces or dressings you can control the experience way better than if you just poured them or dipped them. There is no waste or wasteful mixing. Sipping is just superior in every way. I will never stop sipping. I am not crazy or trolling 8.1K upvotes Comment Copy link.

The freestyle machines

UNPOPULAR OPINION unpopularopinion + Join Posted by Nindroid 2012 · 6 mo. ago • reddit Coke Freestyle Machines are the worst thing to happen to fast food restaurants If you don't know what I'm referring to, I mean the coke machines with the touchscreen that lets you choose which soda and flavoring you'd like. First of all, everything that comes out of these machines tastes like lemons. The lemon flavoring must get stuck to the nozzle or something and everything tastes wrong. Also, the fact that it requires you to touch a screen to get soda (ew germs) also makes the soda pouring lag, so if you don't pay attention to your cup, it's gonna overflow even if you let off the button. I've seen tons of people cheering for this "innovation" online but it hardly seems like one. Do we really NEED the ability to get mango flavored coke at a Wendy's??? Btw if you have to use this machine, Dr. Pepper is like the only drink that doesn't get affected by the lemon taste, so get that. 9.1K upvotes Comment Copy link

Sometimes its just a dude citing some words into a microphone. The music (when its even there) is just weird. The lyrics are okay-ish (it feels very musical like). I listen to heavy metal and are used to long songs, but this song just goes on for far too long. There's random people shouting idiotic stuff like: galileo.

Wow...

UNPOPULAR OPINION unpopularopinion + Join Posted by Code-201 · 21 days ago reddit White chocolate is better than most chocolates. I'm not really going to argue why white chocolate is actually a type of chocolate, but the taste of it is just good. I like the vanilla flavor and slightly buttery texture, along with the cocoa butter in it, too. It's especially perfect as an ingredient and topping Overall, I'd prefer white chocolate if I get the chance too, and I easily prefer it more than dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is a close second, and I don't like it as much as white chocolate primarily because it's everywhere as the default option from chocolate bars to baking, so I kind of got bored of it. So, as stated, white chocolate is the supreme choice for a treat as well as an ingredient. 1.3K upvotes Comment Copy link

Hmmm...

UNPOPULAR unpopularopinion OPINION Join Posted by Still Running99 20 days ago reddit -2°F With no wind is better than 102°F with high humidity With all this crazy cold weather right now in parts of the US, I think -2 degrees with no wind is way more manageable than 102 degrees with humidity because the body can actually adapt to cold. I feel like when it is cold, you have options. You can layer up, stay dry, move around, and create your own warmth. In extreme heat with humidity, those options disappear. I think the biggest issue is that humidity makes sweating useless, which is the body's main way to cool itself down. When sweat cannot evaporate, your body just keeps heating up, and that is when people start feeling sick fast. I also feel like heat with humidity is mentally exhausting in a way cold is not, because there is no real escape from it. Cold without wind might be uncomfortable, but it is predictable and controllable. Heat with humidity just feels relentless and overwhelming. ...Let's also not forget having to take like 3 showers a day if you're an active person because of the humidity. 1.4K upvotes Comment Copy link

UNPOPULAR unpopularopinion OPINION + Join Posted by Catman42069X · 20 days ago reddit It is not morally wrong for a friend to date your ex I have heard it is wrong or a betrayal for a friend to date your ex. I believe that if you're not together anymore then they should be able to date whoever they want. I think the true betrayal would be to be unsupportive of an ex/friend dating especially if they were good for each other. Even if they weren't it doesn't make sense to control or be concerned who your peers are dating. EDIT Some people are assuming I'm the friend dating the ex, I want to clarify I'm the person that had the ex and is supportive of her dating my friends 1.7K upvotes Comment Copy link

Have some fun

UNPOPULAR unpopularopinion OPINION + Join Posted by Various-Ad3443 · 3 days ago reddit Being young is exactly when you should spend your money I always hear the "save every dollar starting when you're young and do the cheapest options" in terms of school, cars, etc., etc. Not every decision in your teens/20s should be optimized for your retirement. There's more to life than just maximizing someone's networth as early as possible. Going to your dream school, traveling with friends, having a fun social life, and just enjoying your youth while you have it is usually worth the cost (within boundaries, of course). Skipping out on so much because I'm saving money til I'm 65 is a ridiculous mindset, and by then I'd have so many regrets for the things I didn't choose to do. People act like any spending on non-essential stuff is irresponsible, but I feel like a lot of these experiences have value and make memories that you can't recreate later in the same way. Being in college and spending a bunch of money on a crazy trip with a bunch of friends is so much different from comfortably affording the same destination in my 30's. A trip worth $1000 at 21 might provide a huge boost to your happiness and personal growth, but that same $1000 expenditure at age 70 wouldn't have the same weight or make a difference. The college social life is so unique, and after you graduate, it doesn't happen again. If you don't spend your money during this time, the opportunities you miss out on will be gone forever. I'm not saying that you should "go into massive debt and be reckless", but there's a balance to everything, and being in your 20s is the time to let loose a little bit. 1.8K upvotes Comment Copy link

Maybe this is just regional to me and if it is, let me know. Videogames are the biggest form of media commercially speaking by a wide margin. There are a lot of movie questions and a metric ton of music questions so why never videogames? Are they afraid old people wouldn't know the answer? They also ask 60's music so how would that be fair to young people then? Sorry for the little rant about a little pet peeve of mine. 2K upvotes Comment Copy link

Weird hill to die on

UNPOPULAR OPINION unpopularopinion (+ Join Posted by SuperTune2540 11 days ago reddit You should never clap along to live music. If the crowd you're in starts clapping along to the beat, don't. Don't even try. Crowds always, consistently drift off beat. It's an inevitability. Crowds. naturally increase pace. Every time. It's why drummers exist and we're not all drummers. I've been to hundreds of shows, and there's not a single exception I've witnessed-the crowd always speeds up the beat, drifts into madness, and takes away from the performance. It becomes a challenge for the artists. It forces the band to choose to stay on beat or lean into the crowd's beat. It becomes a disappointment for the artist/band because they have to strong arm the crowd into stopping. Don't join the clap. Let it die. You're f up the band's rhythm, and we should all stop trying. I wish we could clap along-it's great for the first 10 seconds-but we've lost the right to try. 2.1K upvotes Comment Copy link

Homemade gifts

UNPOPULAR unpopularopinion + Join OPINION Posted by poponis 14 days ago reddit Just because something is handmade, it does not mean it is beautiful or a good gift. I am a crafter and I come from a family of crafters. My grandmothers were both knitters and crochetters. As a kid I was forced to wear their creations, which I hated with passion, because they were ugly, ill fitted and bulky. I was gifted a red handmade knitted sweater for my 16th birthday by one of my grandmothers, and although I appreciated the effort and the time she put on it, I hated it. It was literally ugly. The sleeves were tight and long and the color was a bright tomato Vermilion that I could not match with anything. I did not make a big deal at all, but my mother guilted me into wearing it and she even did not allow me to buy another sweater that I liked, because I already had one very similar. I attend workshops, especially ceramics, and many of my fellow attendees mention how they are making a gift for someone. Some of them end up really good, but others are tedious and ugly, and they insist that they are still going to gift them. I had 2 babies and my aunt insisted to give me some hand made paintings as gifts for the nurseries. They are very ugly and the animals painted on them are like they came from a horror movie. So, to sum up, anything hand made is not necessary a good gift. I am a crafter and I end up throwing away or upcycling 50% or even 60% of the stuff I make. Please, have a judging eye before you gift your handmade creation. Ask for opinions from people who you trust. Creating stuff is not about the result, is about the process. Enjoy the time spent on it, but if it is not good, keep it for yourself and give away a card or even a single flower, if you cannot afford a gift. 2.3K upvotes Comment Copy link

This is harsh

UNPOPULAR unpopularopinion + Join OPINION Posted by Legitmate Businesman 27 days ago reddit Assisting a competitor across the finish line is unsportsmanlike If the race is 26.2 miles, your competitor in first place makes it 26.18 miles then collapses, I am sorry but that person did not make it. They did not pace themselves for the whole race and/or their body wasnt physically up to the task. You, in second place, who accurately paced yourself, trained, and did everything right, slowing down and helping them across the finish line -especially if you push them across ahead of you- is not heroic. It's dumb. ETA: My opinion on this is not limited to marathons, that was just an example. Baseball: Hit the ball out of the park but break your ankle rounding third base and can't make it to home? No home run, sorry. The defense sure as heck shouldn't help you make it to home base. Football: Return the ball 99 yards then drop it prior to entering the end zone? No touchdown. The defense does not pick up the ball and hand it to you so you can feel good. Chess: Two obvious moves from checkmate then you have an aneurism and can't finish the game? You forfeit sorry. Soccer: This would be an exception. As it is an 11-on-11 team sport, if one player is injured through no fault of their own, that gives an unfair advantage to the other team. It is customary in soccer to kick the ball out of bounds in that case and I will allow it. But if they don't and keep playing until the ref stops play, I am fine with that as well. 3.5K upvotes Comment Copy link
