I can't be the only one...

Ever see something become wildly popular that leaves you scratching your head and wondering what you are missing? Yeah, I have a lot of those. Apologies in advance to anyone who does like any of these things. We can still be friends, right?

Green apple flavored candy. I love apples, the real kind but I hate apple flavored stuff. It doesn't taste like green apples or even any kind of apples at all. It makes me gag. Usually I'm able to avoid it but recently Skittles replaced their lime flavor with green apple flavor. Not cool, Skittles, not cool.

Lavender scented anything. It's not relaxing, it smells like an old lady. No offense to old ladies.

Twitter. I tried it. Since I already happily over share about my life on facebook, instagram, and my blog, Twitter just seemed redundant.

Bacon. Bacon for breakfast is ok. Bacon for dessert? No thanks. I don't get the hype.

Vinyl lettering. Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for a sentimental or meaningful quote. But most vinyl lettering quotes have the same soul numbing effect as when your McDonald's cashier says in the most fake chipper voice possible "have a nice day!" Barf.

DIY projects. Ok, I actually get why people like these kinds of things. It's fun to make things. I just suck at crafts and I'm bitter about it. I desperately want a couch made out of wooden pallets but I will never be able to pull that off.

Red roses. Who decided that red roses were the only flowers you can give to express affection? So many other flowers go unappreciated. Not to mention that the price of red roses goes sky high around valentine's day and mother's day. Two hundred bucks for a bunch of overrated flowers that with die in a day or two? Yeah, no.

Lilies. They look pretty but they smell like death. So gross.

Thanksgiving food. Please don't call me un-American but I really hate most of the traditional Thanksgiving fare these days. Sorry, but I have a hard time imagining the Pilgrams eating jello salads, canned green bean casseroles, marshmallow salads, canned cranberry sauce, etc. I usually end up eating just a little turkey and a whole lotta pumpkin pie. I have a deep and abiding testimony of pumpkin pie forever and ever, amen. And can I get a salad please? Like a real, fresh, green salad that doesn't have anything canned or artificial in it? That'd be great.


Now it's your turn, what super popular trends irk you?

p.s. If you say you don't understand obsession with pumpkin flavored stuff, feel free to defriend me. Just kidding. But you might want to do some deep soul searching. For reals.
