they might tickle your taste buds but
it’s not like there’s a party in your
mouth and everyone’s invited
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
overrated foods before we begin we
publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
foods that have gained widespread
popularity but honestly aren’t all
they’re cracked up to be
we’re not necessarily knocking these
foods as many are quite delicious the
hype surrounding them however has been
blown way out of proportion
number 10 smoothies many of us love to
gulp one of these beverages after a
productive workout or during
particularly hectic mornings and why
shouldn’t we smoothies can be delicious
and nutritious here’s the thing though a
lot of smoothies are either jam-packed
with sugar and basically one step away
from being a milkshake or they taste
like blended spinach or worth kale
smoothies have been masquerading as a
health food for quite some time but
today they’re just a bit too trendy
when did solid food get such a bad rap
anyway alright we just cool it on this
road east right now Tara smoothie number
9 dark chocolate chocolate here the food
many healthy eaters should recognize
from their cheat days a potential
superfood dark chocolate is supposedly
healthier than milk chocolate what with
its antioxidants fiber iron magnesium
and more more like a hypothetical
miracle than a superfood as it’s also
supposed to lower blood pressure improve
cholesterol levels protect your skin
from sun damage and improve brain
function but if you’re craving a
Snickers and instead you chomp on a
piece of dark chocolate
we dealt your sweet tooth is going to be
satisfied you see dark chocolate
actually tastes quite bitter plus it may
be healthier but it’s still chocolate
and should be consumed in moderation
number 8 quinoa and throw a couple extra
crannied beans on top if you could and
kinda need you to hurry up chief
chop-chop more than just a tough to
pronounce word quinoa has also been
labeled a superfood by some due to its
supposedly insane protein levels what if
you are accommodating couscous and cat
litter and if you’re happy eating it
instead of pasta congratulations you’ve
cut your carb count significantly and
are eating eight better grain what you
get what’s this quinella quinoa but the
protein thing is kind of a myth a cup of
cooked quinoa has 8 grams of protein
while one hard-boiled egg has six and a
cup of cooked spaghetti has five are the
extra few grams of protein worth it
because let’s be honest
quinoa doesn’t taste like much on its
own you’ve got quinoa with a fish that
is also true
number seven Lobster the people actually
like the taste of lobster or is it just
a status symbol you know you’re living
large when you can say I’m taking you
out for lobster honey and okay it does
taste pretty good
but of course it does Lobster is almost
always smothered in butter a tennis shoe
covered in butter would taste good
actual lobster meat doesn’t have a ton
of flavor plus it’s really pricey and
takes a whole lot of work to eat next
time you got 30 bucks to drop on an
entree do yourself a favor and order the
steak instead it’s better bang for your
buck
to me so look one-one crawl behind the
refrigerator number six
sriracha I really like sriracha and I
don’t know if you heard but they were
thinking of closing a plan a step up
from hot sauce sriracha is a Thai sauce
made from Chili Peppers vinegar garlic
sugar and salt and it’s become so
popular as a condiment recently that in
some restaurants it’s earned a spot
beside the ketchup and mustard alright
now we’ll put some sriracha on this whoa
guys sriracha is by no means as
versatile as ketchup and mustard we’re
not saying it’s a bad sauce in fact the
various fast-food chains with sriracha
flavored burgers are certainly on to
something but no good steak will be
improved with the addition of sriracha
plus there are so many quality hot
sauces out there it seems strange that
sriracha gets all the attention what am
I going to do with my sriracha say one
more hipster thing and I’m going to
shove you in your vintage purse in case
number five kale just with the new
spinach is radicchio kale no kale is an
excellent source of vitamins K C and a
as well as fiber and those are just the
tip of the iceberg for this lettuce
alternative but before you adopt a kale
centric diet consider the following
first kale can be incredibly hard to
digest in fact you can actually develop
abdominal issues from forcing your body
to digest too much kale second racquel
tastes absolutely horrible so unless you
swallow it whole you’re going to miss
out on the intended health effects and
really chewing on kale for two minutes
for a couple of vitamins is not our idea
of a good time
kale is a garnish it’s not ready to
anchor a meal number four caramel apples
it’s rain of course very caramel apples
a caramel apples certainly look
appealing on the surface especially
around Halloween however have you ever
actually tried to eat one it can be a
frustrating ordeal as young
trick-or-treaters many of us probably
had a mishap while eating a caramel
apple
we’re sticky goof wound up in our hair
eyes or clothing
later it’s not much easier to eat and if
you’re going for healthy the thick layer
of caramelized sugar kind of ruins that
objective sure if they’re decorated in a
fancy way they are prime Instagram
fodder but practically speaking there’s
not much going for caramel apples
number three cupcakes amaze many
cupcakes many cupcakes as in the mini
version of regular cupcakes which is
already a mini version of cake honestly
where does it end with you people
especially in grade school cupcakes were
the go-to birthday snack and they’re
great if you don’t want to dig into a
full cake but basic knowledge of
mathematical ratios would prove to you
that for the most part they are not
worth gushing over unless the Baker
piles on the frosting you get twice as
much boring cake in every bite if you
get delicious icing and sprinkles in
many cases that two-thirds of this treat
is not even worth the carbs or calories
but despite this revelation cupcakes
still reign supreme above ice cream and
candy bars as a decadent dessert trend
if it’s still runny it’s not a cupcake
for beverage number two chocolate spread
you can have a finger scoop of Nutella
and create soup until oh yeah you’ve
probably seen someone obsess over
chocolate spread like it’s manna from
the heavens but like it’s a chocolate
imposter Nutella for example is an
Italian brand of quote sweetened
hazelnut cocoa spread that was actually
first created as a way to stretch the
chocolate rations during World War two
and it has so little chocolate in it it
can’t even legally be labeled chocolate
cream in Italy sure it’s tasty and all
but we’re not sure how vital it is to
that balanced breakfast of yours oh and
don’t even get us started on how hard it
is to scrape the last remnants of the
spread out of the jar at the end before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable or in this case this
honorable mentions we get nice and
crispy on sides and inside it should be
served slightly pink but you got to be
quick leaving the pan too long it
disappears I don’t like good day
I think they all right the tops out of
$200 an ounce
number one bacon what I said was give me
all the bacon and eggs you have this is
probably one of the most controversial
number ones in WatchMojo history but
hear us out bacon is a damn fine food
and the best part of most breakfast
combos sadly however the public’s
obsession with this above average food
has reached cult-like levels there are
bacon flavored lollipops bacon flavored
ice cream even bacon flavored vodka more
traditionally there are meals like the
BLT to satisfy your craving but even
then the bacon is more of a supporting
player than the star of the show and
we’re not even going to mention its
unhealthy properties so remember bacon
is not a religion just a savory
breakfast food do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
