    I'll make a deal with you guys.
    If we ever split a bag of Hershey's Miniatures, I'll give you all the dark chocolate ones, and you give me the others. Deal?

  2. When I was a kid we'd always bring a bag of miniatures camping. My mom would dig out all of the special dark bars and leave the rest for us kids. I still prefer milk to dark chocolate, but dark chocolate is good too.

    Someone must have mentioned Starbucks.

    I also dislike sweet stuff on meat. Apple sauce, etc.

    Add me to the don't like television list. I'm sorry I even watch a few minutes a week, mostly as I walk through the room where the family is watching something.

    Soda aka "pop" in some parts of the world; that bubbly, sugary, flavored water may single-handedly set back human evolution by thousands of years.

    I'd actually like this stuff if they only added about 1/3 the sugar they do. I tend to water it down with soda water, but that waters down the flavour too.

    Got mine on sale with a coupon. Like DVR, I don't know how I've lived without it all these years. I do find that purchasing the K cups tots up so I got a couple of filters to use with the cheaper coffee when I'm low on funds. Even the cheaper coffees taste great.

    90% of sweet desserts. Just meh.
    Any prepared foods that will survive the apocalypse... I hate twinkies with a passion. and those pink snowball things.
    Chocolate. I stopped eating it and I don't miss it. Period.
    I'll second pretty much all of Dammit's list.
    Light domestic beers, especially, just not worth the calories or the headache.
    Sweet potatoes. Any way, shape or form. Bleeech.
    Celebrity roasts. They're annoying.
    Carbonated, non-alcoholic beverages. I will drink a coke zero when desperate.
    The dancing, singing, or celebrity-complaining/surviving reality shows. Though the model and fashion ones are a guilty pleasure.
    Courtney Love, Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons, the Kardashians, the bearded guy from Hollywood Squares, Charlie Sheen, winning, Ashton Kutcher, cutsey nicknames for couples (Screw Brangelina, Bennifer, blah, blah, blah), "art" films with no point, reading/watching/discussing things because they are "cool" rather than real interest, regular mayonnaise, hollandaise sauce, and patchouli. Because all of the above irritate the living crap out of me.

    Ooooh, Angry Uterus is bitchy tonight.

    Young un's may not believe this but twinkies and those pink snowball things used to be really good. The creme filling was real back when I was a kid. I have no earthly idea what they put in it now but plastic certainly comes to mind.

    I do not like oysters.
    I do not like canned oysters, or raw oysters on the half-shell.
    I do not like fried oysters, stewed oysters, scalloped oysters, or oysters roasted in hell.
    I do not like oysters.
    Can you tell?

    -- The reason?
    It snot very hard to figure out.

    going with food:
    Marshmallows in any form
    coconut - only exception is the small amount in pina colada yogurt
    olives - they have to be chopped up small and buried in lasagna or something similar to mask the flavour
    dark chocolate - nasty stuff
    tomato soup - tastes worse than it looks
    lemonade
    tea - I have tried a few different types and flavours, Lipton tea was the worst by far.
    coffee
    edit: forgot about my intense dislike of cherries , the more I am "OK" with a cherry flavoured item, the more artificial the flavouring is.

    I hate peanut butter in candy, cookies, cakes, ice cream, candles, lubes, granola bars, cereal....virtually anywhere but in a PBJ sandwich.

  16. I agree...Olives are SO GROSS! I won't even eat them chopped up in something.

    I'll eat it in candy as it's one of the only ways I'll eat milk chocolate. The other ways are with caramel and/or with nuts. Peanut Butter Ice Cream? Seriously? That stuff is so gross.

    Salmon....I tried liking it...I keep hearing you have it prepared just right and I call bullshit. I don't like it. I have tried it. I will not waste another missed steak on ordering salmon again.

    Fried Calamari - like chewing on rubber bands. Sneaky little things sit out there looking like chicken tenders.

    We can't be friends.

    ...

    Also:

    1911 pistols. Hugely popular antiques. They offer nothing other than nostalgia.
    Computer mice. Thumb operated trackballs are a million times more comfortable.
    White people with kanji tattoos. They typically can't find Japan on a globe.

    Vanilla scented candles, air freshener, soap, coffee flavoring, yuk yuk yuk.

    Ok, I have to ask because Google will probably show me pictures I don't want to see.
    Peanut butter LUBES?
