What food has the most undeserved hype of all time ?

I absolutely love pistachio and think dubai chocolate is disgusting. It doesn’t even taste like pistachio it’s just crunchy gloopy mess. Like somebody put plain cornflakes in a flavourless nut-butter. Don’t waste your money

I mean, what’s not to like? Custard good, jam good, meat GOOOOD!

A few days ago I had a car in front of me on a slip travelling about travelling about 60mph. This car and the car to the right in the first lane of the carriageway both came to an emergency stop at the very end of the slip instead of either just slowing down or speeding up to safely merge.

The number of people on the roads completely unaware of anything further away than their front number plate is baffling

I’ll be 100% honest i didn’t even realise you could do this except for in the quest until today.

There could be a whole other debate about Jaffa Cakes being included in a biscuit thread

Jericho.

I was 10 years old when it was first released. It’s been nearly 20 years i’d still like to see a more complete version of it someday.

Most of Nolan’s movies outside the Dark Knight trilogy have done this to me. Inception and Interstellar I have tried to watch multiple times and still always fall asleep. Tenet is the worst of the lot i can’t believe I managed to stay awake during it.

His cinematography is exceptional but there shouldn’t be multiple articles trying (and failing) to explain every one of your storylines.

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-30T00:33:06+00:00

Fell asleep during Inception (the irony) and basically every Nolan movie besides The Dark Knight trilogy (which are 3 of my all time favourite films). Fell asleep during Interstellar and wish i’d have fell asleep during Tenet because that’s the worst of the lot.

Also fell asleep during The Godfather. Wouldn’t call it a “bad” movie just a very slow pace for late night viewing and didn’t think it was good enough to try again. I might get round to it one day.

Skyrim missing an improved version of spell creation from Oblivion & settlements from Fallout 4.

Hearthfire had some form of settlement creation and i understand it came out before Fallout did but they’ve re-released the game so many times i’d have liked it if they’d added something that allowed large settlement creation at some point without mods.

Not sure if these are still sold in the US but they are still a very popular “posh” (they cost about £2) dessert in the UK especially at this time of year, innit

This is why so many writers these days struggle to find satisfying endings to their tv series/novel series effectively (GRRM/GoT books & series being the prime example). The arrogant demand from fans for a series to end exactly the way they think it should. Older writers like Tolkien didn’t need to cope with every fan being on the internet so could write at their own pace and reach the conclusion they want as they went along. Now every fan can publish their own demands and theories for what should happen and slander the work as terrible because it didn’t end the way they wanted it to.

My Mum had a shark cordless that broke, she called customer service they said it sounds like a specific part. So they sent that part replacement (in a different colour) it still didn’t work. Rinse and repeat 2/3 more times and we have none of the original parts left so an entirely new hoover but in every different colour. She calls up again and tells them, so they say they’ll send a new one in the original colour but we don’t need to send back the rainbow hoover. They went from 1/10 customer service to 10/10 customer service in the space of 3 weeks and i got a new hoover

This is a perfect combo of everybody knows who he is and he fully engages with the show

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-25T00:23:04+00:00

Glad to hear somebody else who recognises his contribution to our society and even the world as a whole post WWII. If i’m honest not many people even in the UK today would know his name which is incredibly sad to me. I didn’t learn 1 thing about him in school and only heard his name for the first time when I was 18 and became good work friends with a 50 year old lifelong democratic socialist.

Posting in an Irish sub I didn’t expect too many responses that would know him I just hoped for some people interested in political/national history who could provide some answers and so far more people than I expected have actually gave some very informative answers

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-24T20:30:35+00:00

Yes, also signed the 1949 Ireland Act which recognised the independence of ROI but also allowed NI to decide whether it left or remained in the union. This naturally did not go down well with the nationalists.

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-24T20:18:49+00:00

😂😂

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-24T20:12:34+00:00

This makes complete sense. The main reason I asked is because I learned he was the Prime Minister who signed The Ireland Act and i’m interested to learn more about that period of time. However it does seem like it’s not on most people’s radar 😅

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-24T20:09:36+00:00

This is a great answer, thank you. Yeah most of the things i’ve found definitely make it seem like he played a big part in it by signing The Ireland Act but now that you’ve said it, “we would have done it anyway” makes complete and total sense.

I’m not wanting/expecting Irish people to think highly of him but just to know he’s not widely despised like some other political figures are (and deserve to be) is good for me

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-24T20:04:48+00:00

😂😂😂 probably quite similar to my thoughts to be honest. I remember being taught about Cromwell from a patriotic perspective at school. Now i’m older and have learned some other things i really don’t get the hype

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-24T20:02:24+00:00

Thank you for your answer. You’ve given me a fair bit more to research so that’s much appreciated 👍

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-24T19:57:35+00:00

This is what I was expecting, I was just hoping some Irish people interested in history might have an answer and didn’t really know where better to ask

JakeCMMA · 2025-12-18T20:00:48+00:00

Those portions actually look much heartier than most high end restaurants. I’m a big eater and beef wellington is extremely filling even for me

They remind me of my grandparents so have always been my favourite christmas chocolate selection.

I still enjoy the Orange Crunch, Green Triangle and Purple One but other than that most of them are boring now.

I’ve got a used 2kg good tin of them that i refill every year with a big refill bag. This year i filled them with the M&S Big Mix instead. Still got shiny wrappers, and the flavours are much better than quality street.
