Rush. The band. Almost nobody in my high school liked them. In the 80s even.

The Last Jedi.

I left the theater on opening night thrilled with what I saw. I couldn't wait to go online and read all the positive reactions and theories for the next one... Whelp.

What really surprised me is learning how much people hate it when I drink tonic water. I'm not going to spit it directly in your mouth, friendo. I just want a drink of interesting water.

Sunny weather. Living in Ireland, the sun is ALWAYS a welcome respite from the constant dull rainy shite.

I was surprised to find out that Patchy the Pirate is pretty hated, which is what inspired this thread.

Soggy cereal. That's how I ate is as a kid and how my siblings did as well, mostly. No one ever said it was gross or the "wrong" way, until I got a bit older and found out that pretty much everyone hates it.

I can't stand dry cereal lol.

In line with the inspiration for the question: Cars 2

I liked the first one and thought the second one was also lots of fun. I liked the visuals / in-universe elements, and thought it was decent for a kid's spy movie. It was one of my favourite family movies at the time.

Turns out almost everyone hates it?

The fries at In-N-Out Burger. I really like them. They actually taste like potatoes, which are delicious.

This was 10+ years ago, but I was surprised by how many Brits hated Top Gear when to me and a lot of other non-Brits it was just the funny British banter car show with the three cartoon characters
