The Internet Is Done Pretending These Things Are Great
Some things just don’t live up to the hype… no matter how many people try to convince you otherwise.
When someone asked online what they’re “sick of people trying to convince them is great,” thousands chimed in. And the responses were brutally honest and painfully relatable.
Here are the standouts that made people collectively say, “Enough already.”
10. Pumpkin spice lattes
Beloved by influencers, loathed by the latte-averse. For many, this fall classic tastes less like cozy nostalgia and more like melted candle wax in a cup.
9. Cruises
“They’re floating Petri dishes,” one commenter said. Between crowded buffets and questionable Wi-Fi, not everyone’s on board with life at sea.
8. Game of Thrones
Sure, it was once a cultural juggernaut — but after that final season, plenty of fans would rather forget the whole thing ever happened.
7. Avocados on everything
Toast, smoothies, tacos… it’s been a good run. Some people just want breakfast without the green mush.
6. The American Dream
White picket fences and 40-hour weeks? Several users said no thanks — they’re redefining success on their own terms.
5. Cold plunges
You’ve probably seen the trend: people gritting their teeth in icy tubs, claiming “mental clarity.” Others call it what it is — just… really cold water.
4. Real Housewives
Even reality TV has its limits. Viewers said the drama feels less “guilty pleasure” now and more “emotional exhaustion.”
3. Kale and Brussels sprouts
The health craze that won’t quit. “They taste like regret,” one comment summed up.
2. Waking up early
For all the 5 a.m. productivity gurus out there — some folks just function better after 10.
1. Coffee
Blasphemy to some, liberation to others. The most common answer among the thread? Those who admit they’re done pretending to love the bitter brew.
