They tried it, they love it. You tried it, you don't.
I didn't know how to title this because there's only so much you can get in a "title" line of a thread. Have you ever eaten something that someone said was absolutely delicious, but when you tried it, it was either gross or it wasn't what you expected? What are some foods that you've tried that you thought were going to taste like what someone "over exaggerated" to be SO good, and it wasn't all that great?
I'm asking because on Thursday while I was in line at the grocery store, a lady in front of me was buying a bag of "Popcorn Indiana" and I asked her how it tasted. She said it tasted just like the movie theater popcorn, much better than microwave popcorn. She just kept going on and on at how good and buttery this popcorn was. So I got out of line to get a bag for myself. On the bag it says "Popcorn Indiana Original Movie Theater Popcorn". It also has a picture of a tradtional old movie theater on it, which really gave me the impression that it would taste just like she said it would. I just now tried it. It doesn't taste anything like movie theater popcorn. It's not like it's gross or anything, it's just that it has no flavor to it whatsoever. I can't even taste any butter on it, and it's slightly salty. It's probably going to eventually go bad, because I know I'm not going to eat it.
