I posted this on my Facebook and it became a run away thread, and it got me to thinking.
What are the things that you just.don't.get - those things that other people rave over and just leave you cold?
Here's my list:
- Beer
- Beets
- Carrots
- The Rolling Stones
- Bacon
- Elton John
- Asparagus
- Fish
- Milk
- Sushi
What are your "I'll never see the allure" items?
Hmm..
The Help (okay, so I haven't read it yet, but I feel like it's so hyped, I probably won't enjoy it...)
coconut
beer
chipotle (it's okay...)
I'll add your fish & sushi, too. ew. I prefer my food without sand, so seafood too.

Eggplant. Hate it. Yes, I've tried it. Yes, I've tried it that way too. Yes, even the Japanese one.
Also, wine. Just don't like it. Nope, not even white. Yes, I live in Sonoma County (wine country) but no, I do not like wine of any kind. No, I don't need to try your wine to see if it smells or tastes like _____. It smells and tastes like: WINE.

Smoothies, especially non-homemade ones. Fruit juice. Diet soda. Little Debbie cakes and other packaged sweet snack stuff. Jane Austen. (Her books are okay, but I don't enjoy them. One of my co-workers refused to speak to me for an hour when I shared this.)
And bacon. It's okay.
Yoga. Pilates. Monty Python. Colbie Caillat. Thongs. (No thanks. If you don't like my underwear lines, you don't have to look.)
Not a huge fan of beets, but I have to admit I've never encountered anyone who admitted to loving them either.
