    Krispy Kreme

    They were carted across the nation, literally, by the box. But it seems the days of Krispy Kreme cartons crammed into overhead lockers on domestic flights may be over, with the first store now open in Perth.

    Hundreds of people queued prior to the opening on Wednesday, some camping out for several days.
    I really like doughnuts but these just taste like sugar, I do not see what the big deal is.

    "Wraps" in all of their various manifestations. There is a time and a place for tortilla, but it's just not here. There was no want of a usurper to the throne claimed by King Sandwich for centuries now.

    Pizzas are the most overrated food ever.

    Truffles. I was at a restaurant the other week and they mentioned the special of the day was a pasta dish topped with truffles. Priced at $70!! WTF? I had some truffle pasta while I was in Italy and I still didn't like it much. I think it tastes weirdly musky.

    Also, Chipotle is bland and mediocre and I don't get why people trout themselves over it.

    I saw someone mentioned Chipolte. If we're talking about overated food places the kings are Shake Shack and In and Out Burger. In general New York and California probably have the most overrated food places out of any other states.

    Oh, I have to second this one, too. Krispy Kreme donuts are basically just sugar with sugar attached coated in sugar. The taste? Sugar. So very boring.

    Speaking of which: Chocolate. I mean, I like it, but it's definitely the most overrated food in the history of foods that I happen to actually like.
    I agree with this. Chocolate is okay once in awhile. Often it's too sweet and I want to throw up. I don't eat candy much.

    Lunchables.

    It's not like they're bad, but where does the insane fandom come from?

    It's little cold cuts with crackers and cheese. Also a Capri Sun.

    .......okay? When I was a little kid I remember other kids who hated crackers and juice time at kindergarden (5-6?), but the next year they thought lunchables were just amazing.

    PS: I'm old enough to remember a time before lunchables.

    I had Shake Shack for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I actually really enjoyed it! We went to the one by MoNH & it was jam packed. Nowhere to sit. No bueno.-.-

    Well, they came out here in the states sometime in the late 80's. (I think) So that means there's plenty of people here who barely remember them, or grew up with them. I was already somewhere around 7.

    I used to love lunchables and there was many a time when I was a student I'd get one for a snack, just cos... Same applies to dairylea dunkers.
