Also, beer, olive oil, and cigars, and every other food people argue over and say “No, just try it, you’ll see I’m right, and you’re wrong.”

I mean flavor, not nutritional quality, so yeah, some “cheese” is not actually cheese, but flavor-wise, it’s all fine. It’s designed to taste good, and people buy it by the truckload.

“Oh, you just haven’t had really good coffee.” No, I have had coffee people claim is “really good”, expensive coffee, brewed “just right”, but again, it’s just different to me, not better. And, no again, I don’t put sugar or anything in it.

“You just don’t have a ‘refined pallet’.” Bullshit elitism. Proven when it comes to wine, at least. People can’t tell the difference between expensive wine and box wine.

Different, not better. Yes, of course, it’s subjective, but the way people argue shows that many don’t actually believe that. And, you’ll be dismissed for not agreeing.

    I disagree at most only a little bit with most of your takes, except for the cigars.

    There I disagree on a completely different level:

    In my very own unpopular opinion, I consider all cigars to be abysmal smoke sticks from the lower reaches of hell.

    So no, they are not fine.

    Take my upvote for that crazy take!
