Reddit user Prestigious-Humor872 asked: 'Food Trends People Can't Wait To Die Out'

Make us preferred on Google

Food trends are not so very different from fashion trends, constantly evolving and quickly becoming outdated or passé.

Can you think of the last time you were served ambrosia at a dinner party?


Or have you noticed how anything featuring kale is now met with an eye roll rather than excitement?

Of course, some food trends tend to last longer than others.

Even if many people wish that they would also become extinct... the sooner the better!

Redditor Prestigious-Humor872 was eager to hear all the food trends people wished would die out, and fast, leading them to ask:

"What modern food trend can you not wait to die?"

Less Isn't Always More...

"2 ingredient desserts (with 7 'optional' ingredients that appear once you read the actual recipe)."- strawberry-emma

You Pay For The Experience

"Food trucks that charge the same price as a premium restaurant but serve half the size on a floppy plate that I have to stand up to eat."- thorn_10

"Food trucks."

"Weren’t they supposed to serve cheaper food because of lower overhead?"

"No brick and mortar?"

"We have a lobster roll truck-pulled by a Range Rover- that shows up for lunch and charges $22 for one entree."

"Ridiculous."- tizzymyers·

Choice Of Words...

"Calling a slight alteration to a recipe a 'hack'."

"Adding parmesan cheese to your grilled cheese sandwich is not a 'hack'."

"It's a minor recipe change."- No_Pear_2326

Jumping The Gun A Bit...

"If I'm on a website I'm only there to look at your menu."

"I'm not interested in starting an order before I've looked at the menu."

"No, I don't want to give you my zip code."

"Just give me your menu and some food pictures."- DueRest

Staying Humble?

"Fancy restaurants that say they serve 'street tacos' and proceed to charge $18 for three."- Chipwich75

There's Economizing, And Then There's Jusy Poor Hygeine...

"The videos of people making food in sinks."

"Gross."- h20rabbit

Is It Even Still A Secret After 100 Thousand Views?

"Any TikTok/IG trend that makes life more difficult for fast-food workers with overly complex orders or ordering stuff not on the menu or trying to 'one up' each others orders etc."- HiThisIsMichael

Maybe It Gives Them Incentive?

"Tipping as an option BEFORE receiving good service."- mytimeis2044

Sweet Tooth? Or Cavity Express?

"Sweets on top of sweets."

"A milkshake with a donut, lollipop, and cupcake attached."- Marleygem

Technology Slowly Taking Our Jobs...

"I just went to a restaurant, not a fast food place, a sit-down restaurant where you have to scan the QR code for the menu, then a screen pops up where you have to place your own order."

"No one comes to the table to answer questions, nothing."

"You place your order, a person comes by and throws your drinks at you. "

"Then they swing by a while later and throw your food at you."

"That’s all you see of them."

"You pay your bill on your phone, and are still expected to tip."- Megmuffin102

Be it in presentation, cooking style, or flavor profile, people will likely always try to make food "cool" in truly bizarre ways.

Sometimes ignoring that the only thing that should truly matter is whether or not it tastes good.

At least people have finally realized that kale doesn't need to be added to everything!

For now, at least...

If you've spent the last decade unable to unsee Ryan Gosling's oddly bent hand on the La La Land poster, you're not alone. The visual quirk became an enduring talking point among fans. And now, for the film's 10-year anniversary, it's officially been fixed.

The poster for the iconic 2016 musical has been subtly adjusted ahead of its theatrical re-release on August 16 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. While the original artwork shows Gosling's character, Sebastian, with his hand tilted downward in the famous dance pose, the updated version straightens it to mirror Emma Stone's Mia.
