quick spray of opinion
Someone blogged five things they thought were over-rated and it got me wondering if there is anything I think is over-rated. It's an interesting question because it's not that you don't like something. You can not like something and still recognise that it's good for others. Something is only really over-rated if lots of people rate it but really it's just not all that.
I don't have five, probably because I empathise fairly easily so can always imagine myself liking something under different circumstances, but here's one.
Crunchy Peanut Butter
Crunchy peanut butter is over-rated because it tastes just like smooth peanut butter (which is good!) except with hard bits in it that rip up your bread/toast when you spread it. The bits of solid peanut don't add any extra peanut taste because they are too insignificant for that but they sure can put holes in baked products. Also they can stick in your molars. I can see some application in making a satay sauce but you'd be better off using smooth peanut butter and adding your own chopped peanuts because they will be much fresher and tastier.
Crunchy peanut butter FAIL.
Yes, okay, crunchy peanut butter made holes in my toast last night and I'm bitter. But I'm still right!
Also Krispy Kreme is kind of over-rated but I don't feel as strongly about that.
