Now Yuengling, on the other hand, has to be the most overrated beer in history.

It's a gateway beer tbh to let people who drink know that there are other beers out there outside of Budweiser that taste better than most things Bud offers. Kind of like a larger Goose Island or Sam Adams. It's overrated if you have a more refined beer palate, but still not bad, about the same price as Bud, and much better in the taste department.

I get what you mean in this case.

Hard to drink? Drinking a can of Coors Lite after being used to Lagunitas Lil Sumpin' Extra is like drinking a glass of water.

I guess my point was that it is all subjective. I honestly don't like the funky taste of lagers, and it doesn't matter how watered down it is. It just doesn't taste good to me.

yeah, I know a guy like that. always seemed like a weird thing to be enthusiastic about.

one of the weird, cool side-effects of the microbrewery boom is that a lot of them now also seem to make lagers too, and they almost always completely trample any larger brewery's offering. it's great for when you're feeling like a lighter taste without just ordering a beer soda.
 
I've found myself going to McDonald's a bit more often since all day breakfast.

For under $5 I get a decent amount of tasty food that's terrible for me but whatever. It's not like I eat it every day, or every week for that matter.

I just can't think of any scenario where I would actively pick bud light lime over something like Yuengling if I'm going for a lager. Yuengling is usually even cheaper around these parts and so much better. Like I can't imagine thinking.

"You know what, I'm going to go to the store and by some Bud Light Lime today."

Like I said, I don't buy it. BLL and Mich Ultra are the beers of choice at family functions that I don't plan.

If I need to buy cheap beers for a summer function I usually get corona or modelo and use thick lime wedges to summer them up a bit. For other seasons it's PBR or Rolling Rock since they are usually available at a price lower than bottled water.

Bud Lite Lime is fucking gross. It tastes completely artificial. If you like it you have bad taste.

Seriously, beer snobs can be pretty god damned annoying. Some people actually prefer the taste of Miller or Bud over most other Beers. Fucking deal with it, putting people down over it just makes you seem like an ass and it sure as shit won't win them over.
 
I had a bad Yuengling once and now I can't touch the stuff. It sucks too because we have a brewery for them in this city so they're even cheaper here than elsewhere.

I don't care if you like bad beer. I don't care if you like that Walgreen's beer. BLL doesn't taste like beer, it tastes like chemicals.

I'm willing to be thought of as an ass if I say that the taste of industrial cleaners is repulsive.

Preferring the taste of Miller or Bud I can understand. Preferring the taste of BLL which is basically light lager mixed with flavored sugar water is just sad. Guess that makes me a beer snob.

I felt like defending that guy, but I've never had BLL, and you guys seem to think it's just actually bad tasting. Maybe I'll grab one on the way home today and try it out.

I hate this attitude. I am a full on beer snob who has almost 30 gallons of home brew fermenting as I type this, but I will never look down on anyone based on what they drink.

Back on topic: My vote goes to vegetarians. Any time anything remotely related to vegetarians gets mentioned people fall all over themselves to post dumb comments.
 
I think Nickelback is the perfect example of something that is 'cool' to hate. I mean, the band/Chad Kroeger have had several top 10 songs yet supposedly everyone hates them and they sucks ass. They basically wrote the soundtrack to the early 2000s.

Same. I might make a comment or joke, but I'll never actively put someone down for their choices.
 
I doubt he was pretending. Bud Light and Lime are trash products. If you like though, that's cool I guess. But to me the drinks are terrible.

McDonalds. I love it, though I only eat it once every 2-4 weeks. Quarter pounder/Big Mac combo with one or two double cheeseburgers to the side. Lawd have mercy. :')

Yeah, there's a few songs from Nickelback and Creed that I find really fucking good. The Hero song when Spiderman came out was all hype.

it's a little bit of "it's cool to hate X" but there's also a legitmate argument to be found there.

http://www.npr.org/sections/allsong...istener-why-do-people-hate-nickelback-so-much

So, why Nickelback, specifically? Many of the reasons listed above come into play: Nickelback sold millions of records in a style that's fallen out of fashion through overexposure. The genre to which the band has typically belonged — umpteenth-generation copy-of-a-copy post-grunge, dispensed with urgent, Creed-esque self-importance — has seen the scales of public opinion tip overwhelmingly against it. Specifically to Nickelback, you also have the similarities between its own hit singles, not to mention (let's face it) that name, which rolls off the sneerer's tongue with a special kind of venomous ease.

it's just kind of a perfect storm of them being disproportionately successful to their actual talent (or lack thereof) which becomes a kind of self-amplifying buzz. they're bad because they're popular but part of why they're popular is because they're bad...

it doesn't make someone a bad person if they like them, but they probably also don't have very adventurous tastes.

Agreed.

My dad tried to pay for a meal with a gift card there and watched the girl behind the register STEAL the gift card right in front of him. He tried to get the manager's attention and the dude was completely oblivious even though he seemed to know what was going on and actually told my dad (and us) to leave.

My dad then tried to call their corporate office and told them about the problem. They could see activity on the gift card and see money being added to the gift card. My dad of course did not have the gift card in his possession.

So yeah, they are terrible and it's not just their food.

I think Nickelbacks biggest problem was one of over saturation. You heard their songs so god damned much that people just got sick of them to a point beyond burnout.

What's really sad is that Kroeger himself did a few guest spots in other people's work and he was fantastic in them.

Yeah, it's absolute garbage. It tastes like shit. Could only drink one sip of it before I had enough. Proceeded to dump the rest down the sink when the host wasn't looking.

The lime flavor in BLL tastes rancid. Like you, I tried it once and had to dump the rest. There used to be a Miller Lite version with lime that was ok, and Labbatt's has a version that is very drinkable.

Good call. I've spent a fair amount of money on 80% cacao single plantation chocolate bars and will still enjoy a plain ass Hershey bar every now and then. Vomit chemical and all.

Krackel >>> Nestle's Crunch. Krackel has a much better chocolate to rice ratio, and Hershey's chocolate works better for that type of bar.
 
Lol it seems to be that there are only two things on NeoGAF without a defense force.

ISIS

Golden Corral.

I'm super guilty of it and I'll admit that all day. I hate em. Hate em nice and good.


But when I'm not hating I will admit that he is the best QB of all time, and a generally OK person.

I'm pretty sure the former has had people sticking up for it if I'm not mistaken

Golden Corral though...

I think I remember seeing someone getting banned for it as well. lol
 
I mean I hate bud light lime and taco bell but clearly a lot of people like it or else they would have gone out of business a very long time ago.

I haven't had a BLL since 4th of july but I don't recall it being rancid. Artificial, sure. Rancid is a strong word for something that has $300m in sales every year.

I don't think I've ever seen a non fun size Krackel.
