What’s the last surprising food-related hot-take you’ve heard? Maybe: Instant ramen is delicious dry, it’s better crunchy. Someone conducted a poll online, asking people what they think of 21 “controversial food opinions.”
But they probably didn’t go extreme enough, because after amassing around 20,000 votes, more than 50% of people agreed with half of them, and all of them found acceptance with at least 1 in 4 people.
Here are these “controversial” takes, from the LEAST divisive to the MOST controversial:
1. You can do breakfast-for-dinner AND dinner-for-breakfast . . . 88% agree.
2. Broccoli and Brussels sprouts are delicious, if you prepare them correctly . . . 82% agree.
3. I’d rather have a greasy, fast-food smash burger than a fancy, high-quality, bistro burger . . . 75% agree. (It seems like people get really annoyed with burgers they can’t fit in their mouth.)
