When its one of the three good songs Manson had (Dogma, Sweet Dreams, and Dance of the Dope Hats) it stands out.

It's sad that this is an unpopular opinion. Cash wouldn't even sing the lyrics as written. :mad:

Talk real good 'cause I'm smart and stuff
Finding something different to eat everyday is painfully tedious, just eat the same simple thing forever.

Also chocolate is the worst, and gently caress ice cream, basically anything sweet that isn't fruit is trash, except cherries, they suck too.

If your chocolate is sweet you're eating the wrong chocolate. 75%+ or gently caress off.

I don't know if I agree (Karen C. had a sweet, clear voice), but I thank you for informing me of this recording's existence. It is choice.

Oh nice, I'm glad you liked it! I recommend the entire "Black Moses" album really, Hayes also does a tremendous cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Man's Temptation" on the album.

It could be 100% and I would still gladly gently caress off. Sorta joking, the only time I've ever enjoyed chocolate is when eating mole.

I quietly hate that everyone prefers Marilyn Manson's version of Sweet Dreams over The Eurythmics.
I wasn't aware that that was a popular opinion. I've heard both, and the Eurythmics version is definitely better.

There's a short movie/documentary on youtube about a family that went absolutely mental over beanie babies and put all their savings and every spare penny they had into buying them as an investment. Buying out all the local toy stores' stock as soon as they opened after getting a delivery, going on cross country trips just to find rare ones, that sort of thing. They still had thousands of worthless beanie babies all neatly sorted sitting in their basement. It seemed like they had come to their senses and accepted that they had been stupid though.

At work at the moment so I can't look it up, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

i have a large storage container full of beenie babies sitting next to my desk that i use as a table. I mostly toss the toys in as extra gifts for young children at gift giving opportunities. I still have too many of the drat things thanks to my grandmother.

Dark chocolate snobs are probably the most obnoxious type of snob there is. The people who say this stuff usually have only tried llike hersheys and the whitman sampler and say milk chocolate is disgusting.

Go to switzerland and try the milk chocolate from a place like spruengli. If you don't like it your taste buds are incorrect.

After I stopped putting sugar in coffee and started avoiding it in general when possible, milk chocolate is just too sweet to enjoy. But, there is the new popular science theorem that liking bitter flavours means you are a psychopath, so I guess that would fall under incorrect taste buds.

And for a really unpopular opinion, this is a good song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FloQfcoANx0

I like chocolate and fruit but chocolate dipped fruit is bad. I don't think that poo poo works together even remotely

Aside from chocolate I'm not a big sweets person in general though. I don't think ive gotten dessert at a restaurant since I was a little kid

Totally. Strawberry, cherry, blueberry, lemon, none of these are good with chocolate. Orange can work sometimes, raspberry is the absolute worst.

It's one of those things that clash so much I've seriously wondered if people just think it should taste good so there's like a placebo effect. I can't even stand chocolates with fruit fillings

I think it's just because chocolate covered strawberries are marketed as some romantic things so people figure they must be good. They do look good if you don't think about the flavor, but like with chocolate oranges once you bite in I can't stand the taste/texture.

Also white chocolate (from a good company) is delicious, you just have to have it in small quantities which I understand might be difficult for some goons.

Yeah I agree about the look it's pretty good.

White chocolate you might be right about, I've never like sought out good brands or whatever but it's usually fancy expensive poo poo that I've had and it's always been... not bad, but off. Like someone took the creme out of the middle of a Whoopie pie and solidified it. Too sweet, not enough flavor to back it up behind like whipped cream. I don't get it

Every Swiss chocolate shop I've been to sells it :shrug:

Other food opinion that is certainly extremely unpopular in Europe: doner kebabs are just OK. There's nothing special about them and I think it's just being latched on to because it's about the only consistently decent cheap non-western food you can get here.

naw, you love it you little ho-bot :roboluv:

"An American Werewolf In London" needs a remake.
Most of the special effects are pretty good (the transformation scene is still excellent) but all the scenes with the actual werewolf are embarrassingly terrible, and were even pretty ropey at the time it came out.
The wolf looks like a Muppet and when it attacks people it pretty much looks like someone off-camera has just thrown it at them, and the fake blood is a really odd colour.

I'd love to see a remake but it would have to be in the same vain as the Evil Dead remake where they just threw out all the campy, goofy elements and went full on horror.

I've only had kebabs in the US and I don't really get the appeal so maybe we just suck at it? That'd be weird though cause if there's one country that can nail other countries cooking through osmosis it's us and it's not like we don't have legit doner kebab places so

Kebabs in Australia rule, maybe you're all doing it wrong. The way they're done here is wrapped in a flat bread with a shitload of salad. The one I got in France was like in a thick pocket bread and it was a failure compared to how they're done here.
