Has cilantro been mentioned? It tastes like rotten citrus washed with Palmolive and a dash of kerosene-
I’d love one of those overcooked hot dogs, but a low-sodium diet prevents my enjoyment of such delicacies. The kind that rotate on the hot rollers are best.
I practically lived on the things when I was taking night classes in grad school: every day at 5:00 pm, I’d grab a couple and an extra-large Cherry Coke. Brats are great, but all-beef jumbo hot dogs with ketchup and green relish and Polish sausages with mustard are the best! YUM-O! 
I love cilantro in exotic dishes, especially lobio (Georgian bean salad). SIGH!
7/11 is what keeps drunkards in shitty neighborhoods with limited late night options fed at 3am. I used to rely on their terrible nachos with the diarrhea chili after bar close. Couldn’t figure out why my stomach always hurt the next morning. Oh, right, because I ate a load of crap! Funnily, those diarrhea chili nachos are what spawned this thread. Friends and I were discussing terrible food (7/11 began it all), then went into food that should just be wiped from planet Earth.
Lots of people like cilantro. Come on now. You’re in California, so you should really know better.
We have to give him some slack. Apparently to some palates, cilantro just tastes nasty.
True. There are some people for whom cilantro (tragically) tastes like soap. Really a damn shame considering how awesome it is. Also, I’m not so sure our guy is from California, but still, it should be pretty obvious that cilantro is well liked, even if you don’t particularly care for it or think it tastes of Palmolive.
Yeah, I’m a “tastes like soap” person, but I understand it doesn’t taste that way to everyone.
Pre-packaged egg salad sandwiches. Those should absolutely not exist.
I was a “tastes like soap” person but I managed to very gradually get myself used to it. I went from hating it to enjoying it in about a year.
What pre-packaged sandwiches should exist? Most of the ones I have tried are emergency road rations that take a quart of liquid to get down (which, ironically, makes them somewhat unsuitable for down the road a ways).
All pre-packaged sandwiches are unfortunate, but pre-packaged egg salad is an atrocity.
Those dome shaped jelly candies that are dusted with sugar or something.
More proof that everything is liked by someone somewhere 
I LOVE those!
Dots??? 
Aren’t dots the little suar drps stuck to a oiece of paper where you invariably ingest paper with them?
No; I remember those but not what they were called. Dots were chewy dome-shaped gumdrops that came in a yellow box, I think. I used to buy them at the movies (Saturday matinees, usually) long before items at the refreshment stand became astronomically overpriced.
I can’t think of Vienna sausages without being reminded of Damen Wayans’ tattered bum character on In Living Color blaming his weapons grade farts on them.
You’re right. I actually liked those. I recall them being a lot more firm/tough than gummee type candy.
It’s look like what I was thinking of may have been called candy buttons. Man, those were terrible.
Same here. Same with my brother. Same with pretty much all my friends when we first discovered cilantro as teenagers. I can’t be bothered to find the study, but I’ve linked to it before, and it says the cilantro aversion for most people is not a genetics thing. ETA: Actually, here’s the NY Times article on it.
Hunt’s ketchup: No one likes it, it’s sole existence is to torture the very old and very young in cafeterias across the nation.
