Anyone have any edible products that they believe are overrated as heck? Monster drinks? Starbucks Coffee?

(Personally I love Monster for the taste, but people drink it to "look" cool all the time)

Here's mine 5 Gum

Okay, what is it with you kids and 5 Gum? So many kids like it, and were always like "This is some good gum man" "f*ckin' great gum man" "it's expensive, but it's worth it, greattt gum" allll through the school year

So today, I'm at the Dollar General, and I am like "Okay, they have 5 Gum, I'm going to try it this once.... it's $1.50, so this better be the best f*cking gum ever"

So I buy Cobalt, and I try it.............. IT TASTES THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHER GUM!?!

5 Gum is a perfect example of a product that isn't that great, and people buy clearly for the style of the package it comes in.
 
It makes me hopeful when I see people consuming products over fancy labels and ridiculous ad campaigns. I think to myself hopefully some day I can fool these bastards into consuming my product, willfully shoveling out five times the price of the competitor. Products like 5 Gum, Monster Energy Drink and and 50-Cent sponsored vitamin water are hilarious consumable representations of what makes capitalism so damn hilarious and exploitable. I love them.

Also, Taco Bell is delicious. I know it's horrible for me, I don't care. It's a rare treat which I enjoy very much. :D
 
Oh I love Taco Bell, I just listed it because, you know, I think of the little man too Que, the little man has an opinion.
 
all of the above

5 gum is just repackaged Wrigley's gum. I guess their 25 year old gum stick packaging they were using before wasn't selling well anymore

If the little man has that kind of opinion, he deserves to be crushed.

...some people call me maurice (wee-weeyoww)
 
I am riding my bike through the metroparks tommorow, I may actually pick up some Taco Bell and a Monster drink to consume by the creek, ironically.

I don't do it often, it will be a nice treat.

I just can't stand red sauce, I always ask them to please not put red sauce in anything I order. It's just so gross, makes me sick to think about.

Taco Bells actually put the red sauce on for you? I thought they just give you the packets. Or is that a different sauce entirely?

We're talking about the Fire sauce right?

Nope, not fire sauce or any of that. It's red and mildly spicy and comes by default in the bean burrito and some other things.
 
Hmm, not sure if I notice it. Damn, now I'm hungry. Tommorow... yeah, 10 in the morning ordering 2 Chalupas and a bean burritto to eat, that will be good breakfast.
 
Cadbury Snaps.

They taste like utter shit.
 
I didn't know people drank Monster to be cool. I drink it and others like it to stay awake, as I'm not a fan of coffee.

This.


I picked only energy drinks and other candies. Energy drinks taste like shit and most people dont drink them when theyre tired. Plus they're awful for you, and thats coming from a guy who eats Taco Bell. Also Jawbreakers suck you dimwits.

I may actually pick up some taco bell tomorrow because of this thread.
 
I live within a walking distance of a taco bell, but that would defeat the purpose.

So do I.... but what do you mean defeat the purpose? I always walk or ride my bike to the taco bell, I HAVE NO CAR.

Are you... trying to start something Que?
 
You're the one always trying to start something with me.
 
You two should make a video. Two hl2.net members, one taco bell meal.
 
I'm going to laugh at you all in the 'OH NOOOES, I'M SHITTING LIQUID MAGMA' Taco Hell thread tomorrow
 
Even "Other"? That means you'll have to consume EVERY product!
 
I think i've 'bit off more than I can chew' with this one. huh huh :3
 
Taco bell ****ing blows, I hate it. Don't like anything they serve. Starbucks doesn't taste good at all and is horribly overpriced. Beyond that I <3 energy drinks, the shit works after you've pulled an all nighter and you need to stay awake in class. Don't know what 5 gum is, I'm just that out of touch.
 
I voted everything but Taco Bell.

Because Taco Bell has come through for me time and time again. It's a little drug-tard haven here.

When you've just toasted an eighth in 3 hours, pulling up to an empty parking space infront of Taco Bell is like stopping at the gates of heaven.

Cheap food, and the management doesn't care if our blazed out brains yell and scream with delight or trash the place with foodstuffs, as long as we buy the food.

I love it.

Everything else is meh. 5 Gum really isn't all that bad, but then again, i've never actually PAYED for a pack of the stuff :)E), so maybe that's why. And i've never heard anybody praise the stuff, so I don't think it's THAT badly hyped. Anybody else notice this though?

Energy drinks work, but what with all the different flavours and packaging and bottling and companies, it's getting a little ridiculous. Monster, Sobe, Nos, Red Bull, Rockstar, Vault... ****, it's flavoured fizzy caffeine. How many different brands can they possible come up with and still sell?

Starbucks actually isn't all that bad, but it's getting a little TOO ubiquitous...

Vitamin water tastes like flavoured urine. **** you all, how is this shit actually selling? I swear to god, if I advertised shrink wrapped feces 120 times a day on primetime TV, that shit'd fly off the shelves.

Mountain Dew tastes like fizzy urine...

I love candy. But ugh, all these spinoff brands are getting tiring. It's getting to the point where when I walk into 711, it'll actually take me a minute or two to dig through all the spinoff bullshits to find the original candies.

Soda period is over-rated. I don't know how people can stand the stuff. I mean, I don't hate it, i'll grab a cup of coke or sprite when I walk into McDonalds, but some people drink the shit like water. HOW? I already feel like power washing my teeth after ONE medium sized cup of coke.
 
Mountain Dew tastes like either flat lemonade, piss or lemonade piss. It's seriously a mixed bag and I don't understand the ejaculation over it.

M&Ms seem to have a following around school despite the fact that they taste exactly like other similar chocolate, same with burger men tasting like home brand burger rings.

Australia doesn't have a Taco Bell :( (or it does, but I can't be ****ed opening my curtain to check)
 
Never liked products that were essentially the same in taste and ingredients, yet one of them is "SO MUCH BETTER" for some reason.

Prime example here in Belgium would be Burn vs Red Bull. If you drink Red Bull, you're okay, but if you drink Burn YOU WILL INSTANTLY HAVE SEX WITH OVER 9000 GIRLS

Pisses me off. And then some people say "omg how can you drink that red bull shit it tastes horrible", so I take a sip from the Burn thing AND IT TASTES EXACTLY THE SAME WTF
