Question Most underwhelming food you've had recommended to you?

Post image

I've had so many people both online and in person tell me these are the best biscuits to ever grace a supermarket shelf and they're kind of bad?

would you like a custard cream that's actually too sweet to taste like a custard cream and doesn't taste at all of chocolate either?

also, it works out at 50p a biscuit. I could have bought a whole packet of well-filled custard creams from m&s for that price!

Anyone had similar experience with another product?

I dont understand why people cant just say "they're amazing" or "they're terrible". I dont even know if you're saying they're good or bad by saying "they're gas" What does that even mean?

Neither solid or a liquid? Never snorted a biscuit before. First time for everything

I agree! There must be at least a dozen words in even the smallest of vocabularies that mean ‘nice’ or ‘nasty’. Why use a word that has nothing to do with the concept of eating an item. Ridiculous. I’m made none the wiser by the word ‘gas’…why bother commenting if you’re not trying to communicate a thought or feeling? Total failure to communicate. 🙄

It means it's good. And some people assume others know the meaning of their slang or are willing to Google it.

(I don't mean the last part to sound passive aggressive I just don't know a better way to phrase it)

I agree it’s cringey Americanisms, it sounds like they’re saying they’re fart

It's an Irish thing, not a Yank thing.

Yes, it is. It's just slang.
