Do you like anything that is usually considered unpopular, or that doesn’t seem to be widely liked?
I like visors, sweatpants, pitbulls, and alto clarinets.

Sock with sandals. Nuclear power. Sandwiches that don’t have pickles.

I like nerdy guys. Fortunately I live in the land of milk and honey, nerd-wise.

Bag pipes. Love 'em.
Learning banjo right now, but I know some people don’t like the twang.

I like slugs and snails and squid. And spiders. And hydrothermal tubeworms at the bottom of the ocean. Weird creatures are the best!
I also like (LOVE, with a fiery passion) grant writing, and most of the people I know who have written a grant at some point in their lives absolutely despise it. Even a lot of people who actually work in development don’t seem to like it much.
I like country music. Around the Northeast that’s pretty unusual.

Kid Rock. He’s popular, or has been, but is very much unliked around here, I think.

I love bagpipes too. Maybe because I’m 1/4 Scottish.

Pierce was my favorite character on Community. I know that’s unusual because of [this poll](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=635023). The one vote was mine.

Anchovies. I realize this is like saying you love raw sewage, but I love them.

My house always has [this](http://www.amazon.com/Medaglia-Instant-Espresso-Coffee-2-Ounce/dp/B001E5E24A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) on hand.
Always has, always will.

It does have its charm–but I sink even lower than you, in that I often will switch it out for Postum when nobody’s looking.

Ketchup on hot dogs, milk chocolate, operetta music (even in a language I don’t know).
