I am a self-proclaimed food connoisseur. I love food and I especially love good food. It's hard for a person like me, no one wants to go out to lunch with a food snob. People are afraid of inviting me to dinner or having me over for lunch, because they know I will criticize their food like Gordon Ramsey on Master Chef; I'm sorry, my parents spoiled me with home cooked meals and fresh food. So, what am I supposed to do? I think my palate is exceptional and I can distinguish between floral and sweet foods. Freshmen year, I watched the Food and Network channel religiously. But even before I became a food snob, I knew there were foods out there that people craved but are Plain Jane. Here are my top 10 overrated foods that people love but are over hype.

1. Twizzlers

If you eat these then we cannot be friends. Twizzlers taste like sweetened candle wax from Hallmark. I don’t understand the appeal and I never will, but I’m not a licorice fan anyways. Twizzlers is the second worst candy ever invented behind disgusting candy corn. #stopwhitepeople2017

2. Donuts

Okay, so let me explain this one. So, one day my job had donuts for employees. Keep in mind, I’m on a diet but at this point I’m hangry. I decided to eat the bottom of the doughnuts to avoid excess sugar and calories. I ate the fleshy donuts and I was like what is this-- It was dough! Donuts without glaze are fried chewy dough. This realization was a game changer. And you know what? Donuts' cousin -funnel cake, tastes like fried dough too. I'm too good to eat this thing called donuts. I'm a proud snob. As a snob, I love to eat Brioche and cheese Danishes like a boss chick. Please get on my level.*Sips Tea*

3. Smartfood's white cheddar popcorn

Why is this in every snack machine in America? I hate this brand of popcorn. As a little girl, I would become nauseated after sampling. The powdered fake cheese looks like someone scooped weigh protein powder on cauliflower and the taste.... please, take me to the nearest bathroom. A couple of weeks ago, one of my coworkers gave me a bag during lunch. I tried to put it in my bag to save for later, but she insisted I eat it there. I force every popcorn kernel down my throat and smiled like a fake Hillary Clinton.

4. Little Bites muffins

America, these are gross. Why is this every elementary kids’ favorite snack? Like, why? Don’t get me wrong, they are moist and soft, but I mean they have no taste and the chocolate in the chocolate chip ones taste pasty. I can’t.

5. Chicken nuggets, chicken strips, chicken popcorn

Black people, please stop claiming these processed glued chicken fragments as real chicken. Now you know mama don’t cook her fried chicken like this. See, this is what happens when people stop cooking homemade meals. Chicken Nuggets got y'all thinking chicken with bones in it is unnatural. I don’t understand every time I go to a restaurant with black people some fool always orders chicken strips. Donte, we are at a Mexican restaurant, they do not have chicken strips!

6. Alfredo Sauce

I know I’m going to get a lot of hate, but I hate Alfredo. It’s just something about Alfredo and Mayo that makes my insides squirm. I can’t even write about this food. Side note: I can eat mayo in small amounts, but not miracle whip.

7. Pumpkin Spice Latte

Man, I don’t even like pumpkin, but I like spices. I rather order mocha with a shot of espresso or a chai tea latte. Pumpkin spice latte is like Mariah Carey, she had her day once. Well, the 2000s are over and the 90s was twenty years ago. (By the way, I still love you, Mariah!)

8. Casseroles.

There is only one casserole I have time for and it is macaroni and cheese. Thanks. And guess what I don't think macaroni and cheese is all that.

9. Mashed Potatoes

I'm not a fan. Mash potatoes are bland and unimaginative. I don’t understand the appeal or the enthusiasm of the meat-and-potatoes thing. I give mash potatoes two big thumbs sideways.

10. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

When I was a kid, my mama always made me banana sandwiches and bologna sandwiches with fried bread. Boy, those were good. I grew up on turkey and tomato sandwiches and grilled cheese. I have a thing for sweet and salty but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ain't it! The peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are too sweet for my taste and the peanut butter sticks to the insides of my mouth. Peanut butter and jelly is blander than chicken with no seasoning that Susan makes.
