Foods That Flip Between Delicious and Disgusting

Some foods walk a fine line between mouthwatering and revolting. From watermelon to French fries, here’s what people love—or loathe.

Some people say PIZZA is a pretty safe bet any time, because “even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.”  So, what would be the exact opposite . . . something that can be INCREDIBLE or INEDIBLE?

There’s a list online of foods that have the WIDEST SWINGS between being delicious and disgusting . . . and here are some of the best ones:

1.  Watermelon . . . “Some are amazing, and some have zero flavor.”

2.  Coleslaw . . . “If the right person makes it, it can be so good . . . but the other 99% of the time, it’s a slimy disgusting mess.”  Coleslaw, macaroni salad, and potato salad . . . you’re rolling the dice when you load up at a potluck.

3.  Salmon . . . “It can be my favorite food, or nauseate me through smell alone.”  (Others say all fish, seafood, and sushi could be added to the list.)

4.  Peaches . . . “Delicious and wonderful, or a woody, mealy disappointment.”

5.  Dunkin’ coffee . . . “You’ll get a great cup or literal garbage, maybe even on the same day.”

6.  Tomatoes . . . “Crisp and refreshing.  Or bland, mushy, and stringy.”

7.  Mac and cheese . . . “Trying too hard can be worse than not trying at all.”

8.  Apples . . . “Some types are legit delicious, and then there’s ‘Red Delicious.'”

9.  Chicken breast . . . “It’s so easy to make it dry.”

10.  Nachos (or poutine) . . . “Absolutely amazing, or a flavorless, soggy mass.”

11.  French onion soup . . . “Wildly full of rich flavor, or onion-flavored water.”

12.  Brussels sprouts . . . “Boiled or steamed they are disgusting.  Roasted Brussels sprouts are amazing.  They taste like a totally different vegetable.”

13.  Scrambled eggs . . . “There’s five seconds between prime and a dry disaster.”

14.  French fries . . . “Don’t ever put your fries in a closed box.”

15.  Bear meat . . . “If you eat a bear that lives too close to a dumpster or landfill it’s not good.  But wilderness bear that’s slow cooked just right is pretty amazing.”  (???)

Someone else added, “I feel that cauliflower is the opposite of pizza.  It’s bad no matter what.”

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
