The Biggest Flops 🍴

• Truffle oil fries – Supposed to taste fancy, actually taste like greasy perfume.
• Dubai chocolate – All hype, zero flavour.
• The McRib – Expectations were low, but somehow it still failed.
• Renaissance Faire turkey legs – Basically ham on a stick full of ligaments. Yum?
• Fondant – Insta-pretty, flavour nightmare. Cake ruiner.
• Turkish Delight – Narnia lied to us.
• Crumbl cookies – Instagrammable, but stale.
• Sparkling water – AKA “angry water.” Tastes like static.
• Dunkin’ Donuts – Pretty, but always taste like they’ve been sitting out since Tuesday.
• Lobster – Fine, but why is this sea bug so expensive?
• Twinkies – Pure plastic-flavoured sugar sponge.
• Kombucha – Like licking the inside of a defrosted freezer.
• Dragon fruit – Gorgeous, badass name… tastes like nothing.
• Oysters – Cold snot with hot sauce.
• Champagne – Childhood me thought it’d taste like Cherry 7-Up. It does not.
• Pop-Tarts – Icing-covered cardboard, but worse.
• Coconut water – Like water that’s already been in someone’s mouth.
• PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte) – Overpriced sugar milk. Sorry, Starbucks.

The Verdict

Not every trendy food deserves the hype. Sometimes the prettiest snack on TikTok tastes like sadness in a wrapper.
