Rec'd on 📬 What's an unpopular opinion of yours?
most tropical fruits don’t taste good (imo)
i‘m not a fruit person in general (have always preferred vegetables) but the worst of it is that i don’t like most tropical fruits in particular… i have tried making myself like mango, guava, papaya, dragonfruit, starfruit, etc for years and i just really dislike the taste 🙁 to the point that i feel like maybe i have the cilantro gene but for a bunch of fruits (i’m also not a fan of blueberries) i don’t deny that they apparently taste amazing for a lot of people given the hype but they’re sadly just not for me! 😔💔

They taste the best when fresh but as for dragonfruit, my dad stayed in the place where they grow and even then they were overpriced and tasted like shit. Papaya and guava are good tho

You’re not getting the good tropical fruits outside the tropics. You can leave them alone until you have a chance to try them where they natively grow

@LUCIUS i‘ve spent some time in florida does that count? if so the fruit freshness aspect still hasn’t worked 😔 but either way i will add fruits to my list of things to do whenever i find myself in a tropical place next…

@TIFF not a huge fan of the flavor or texture but what i also find disturbing is that they’re blue on the outside, green on the inside, and purple when blended ??? why???

Wow, this one is truly unpopular. Down to preferring vegetables, I think. But at least your sugar levels aren’t spiking up

@MARIAMARIA i still have a slight sweet tooth and could eat like four apples a day… but if you gave me the choice between a fruit salad or a bunch of sauteed vegetables i’m picking the veggies

being a nerd about stuff
being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

MAY DAY
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳 unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!! if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
