__________ is/are overrated.

[wriddle082]

Cheese by itself is underrated, cheese on other things is overrated.

I agree!

Back to cake, it and cupcakes are very overrated.  Especially when the ratio of frosting to cake is too high on the frosting side.  And why is "birthday cake flavor"  a thing?  It's just colored sugar, people!

Cookies, doughnuts, and ice cream are properly rated.  Brownies, pie, cheesecake, and cobbler are very underrated.

I can mostly get behind this as well. For instance, a cheeseburger vs. a hamburger. Do you actually taste the cheese once you have other toppings and condiments? Unless it's something spicy like pepperjack, the answer is barely.

^^ When I order a cheeseburger, it is not to have other toppings, bacon excepted.

So you're a meat, cheese, bun kinda guy?

Cheeseburgers are the exception for me. They taste too dry and bland without cheese, even if they have other condiments.

[JayhawkCO]

I must just do "fancier" burgers than you guys.

[skluth]

Probably. I don't like either bacon or cheese on my burger, especially if that cheese is of the processed kind. Most processed cheese is an abomination.

For me, pie is overrated, but then, I come from a family that is very into pie and I'm more of a cake person.  I also tend to prefer sweeter frosting than everyone else I know, for some reason.

YES, I do actually taste the cheese, especially if it is GOOD cheese like Gruyere.

But Gruyere is overrated

My daughter would not like you. She rates pie very much over cake. She even had pie at her wedding.

[JayhawkCO]

I had pie at mine as well.

I especially like to go with that most 'American' cheese of all - Colby'.     In fact, if the USA operated under that came trademark rules as much of Europe does, it could not be sold as 'Colby' if it was not made within a 100km radius of Colby, WI (When was the last time you heard Blue Cheese referred to as 'Roquefort'?).

I believe Asiago and Sriracha are overrated as it seems those cheese crazes at various restaurants have run their course.

Sriracha isn't a cheese...

That's an interesting one.  I don't know.  They seem appropriately rated to me.

I mean, how many times does one need to see the same thing they've seen 30+ times before? Yay. Colors in the sky or big noise. Super exciting. I get why kids like them. I don't understand the appeal to adults.

They're great to photograph...but I don't get the appeal of spending the money on it more than once. "Hey, I just spent $400 on a crummier version of what the professionals will do for pretty much for free" just doesn't compute.

And they're annoying when you have to work in the morning the next day, never mind how one of my dogs goes batshit crazy and needs to be consoled. My kids are over it.

There are certainly enthusiasts that will shell out all sorts of money to shoot them off, but I think they're a minority.  The rest of us either like them or have dogs.

Add in the fact that some yahoos in my neighborhood have been shooting them off for three weeks already, almost every night. "Hey Karen, do you want to go see the same quick flash of light in the sky every night for the next three weeks? I swear, it'll blow your mind every time, and it's a good build up to the 4th."

I'm glad that my dog is old enough she had no clue that anything at all unusual was going on last night.

I wish that were the case more often, my girlfriend has a 13 year old ... something ... and they have to drug him up every single year. And every year he barely makes it through.

Come to think of it, I'm starting to wonder if the drugs are exacerbating the situation .

My interest in fireworks was pretty much killed by year after year of people setting off their fireworks until 2 or 3 in the morning, on years when the calendar was like this year's with July 5 as a working day.
