- Whether you’re one of the few that thinks pineapple goes on pizza (it does not) or you just don’t get the latest fashion trend, we all have our indefensible opinions that we choose to tirelessly defend anyway.
- Stand behind your ridiculous opinions, as long as they aren’t harming anyone, and stubbornly refuse to listen to anyone who tells you to stop putting ice in your beer.
- These eight unpopular opinions will either make you feel seen or feel enraged. Enjoy the emotional rollercoaster.
There are some people out there that follow the status quo. They work their day jobs, watch whateverโs on the Netflix Top 10, wear whatever clothing brand is most popular, and shun putting pineapple on pizza. Then there are the free-thinkers. Those of us who arenโt afraid to be ourselves, to go against the grain, and to say whatโs on our minds, even if itโs an unpopular opinion.
Everyone out there has an unpopular opinion of their own, something they like to say to their friends just to make them outraged. And, while we may like to accost our friends for their โridiculousโ opinions, itโs our differences and unpopular opinions that make the world an interesting place. If we were all in agreement all the time, what would there be to talk about?
So, in honor of our quirks and differences as human beings, here are some unpopular opinions from my own mind that you might agree with or that might just piss you off. Feel free to share your own unpopular opinions or absolutely roast me in the comments.
1. Peanut Butter Is Better Than Nutella
Iโm not going to pretend like I donโt like Nutella. Itโs delicious. But is it better than peanut butter? Absolutely not. There may be certain foods that Nutella complements better than peanut butter but, on the whole, peanut butter is the superior nut-based spread.
In my unpopular opinion, Nutella is a little bit too sweet. I feel like it also leaves a strange film on my mouth that makes me want to brush my teeth immediately after eating it.ย

On top of all that, peanut butter is just so much more versatile. First of all, you have crunchy and smooth peanut butter. You even have honey-roasted peanut butter and peanut butter with raisins in it.
Thereโs only one kind of Nutella. Actually, thereโs white chocolate Nutella, but I bet youโve never seen it. Plus, you can make all sorts of amazing savory Thai-style and African dishes with peanut butter.
One of my personal favorite food combinations is creamy peanut butter, scrambled eggs, curry powder, and soy sauce. Donโt knock it until you try it.ย
2. Thunder Does Not Only Happen When Itโs Raining
Thereโs no arguing that โDreamsโ by Fleetwood Mac isnโt one of the best songs of all time. And, if you havenโt heard that song, surely, youโve been living under a rock. However, Iโm unable to enjoy it. Why? The line that says, โThunder only happens when itโs raining.โ Lies!

By the way!
Did you know weโre launching a Kickstarter campaign? In the next few months, our campaign for โGentle Jack: The Party Game for Bad Friendsโ goes live! Visit the official website or follow the Kickstarter page to stay in the loop.
In my 25 years of life, I have heard thunder many times when there is not a single drop of rain falling from the sky.ย

Of course, I understand that Stevie Nicks meant this phrase in a metaphorical sense. But that doesnโt change the fact that it triggers my OCD and renders me completely incapable of enjoying this lovely song.
3. Strawberries Taste Like Nothing
Whatโs all the hype about strawberries? Iโve heard people say that strawberries are their favorite fruit and it leaves me genuinely baffled. They donโt taste like anything.
Alright, maybe you get a perfectly ripe strawberry and it has a nice sweetness to it. But, when you compare that flavor to the flavor of a mango or a banana, strawberries just donโt live up to the hype. Sure, strawberry shortcake is pretty good, but thatโs just because the strawberries are mixed with a metric ton of sugar.

Being that strawberries are native to North America, people outside of the United States have a particularly strong obsession with them. Theyโre considered โexoticโ in places like Latin America and Asia. I still canโt understand, though, why people in those parts of the world enjoy strawberries so much when they have native fruits that are a thousand times better.ย
4. Sunday Is the Best Day of the Week
The whole phenomenon of โSunday scariesโ is something thatโs just never really resonated with me. I understand that it has to do with the dread of having to go to work on Monday. But, learn to live in the present for once and youโll soon realize that Sunday is the best day of the week.
Think about it: itโs the only day of the week that no one expects you to do anything at all (unless youโre a practicing Christian, that is).ย

Monday through Friday, you have to go to work. Friday night, all of your friends are going to be messaging you to go out to the clubs or whatever. Saturday is a social day when people get together to have picnics or go to the beach or talk to each other and whatnot.
On Sunday, itโs perfectly acceptable to do nothing at all and feel great about it.
5. Nas Is the Best-Ever Rapper Out of New York
Everyone always raises this conversation about whether Biggie or Tupac is the greatest rapper of all time. Well, you know what? Itโs not Biggie. Heโs not even the best rapper to come out of New York. Nas is.

While The Notorious B.I.G. is undoubtedly one of the best to ever do it, his skills canโt live up to the flow and lyrical prowess of Nasty Nas. Some of the lines that Nas delivers literally send chills down my spine.
People tend to glorify Biggie because he died prematurely. However, thereโs something to be said for the fact that Nas started his rap career 30 years ago and is still coming out with incredible albums like Kingโs Disease II today.ย
6. Fitbit Bands Are Stupid as Hell
Iโve never owned a Fitbit band and I never will. Theyโre dumb and expensive. It seems to me like theyโre more of a fashion statement than a fitness tool.
Letโs play out a scenario. Itโs late in the evening and youโre eating popcorn while watching Squid Game. You realize that youโve only done 8,000 steps instead of the recommended 10,000. Are you really going to put down that bag of Orville Redenbacherโs and start walking up and down your street?

My problem is that people are paying exorbitant prices for their Fitbit bands when, in actuality, these bands arenโt going to have any real effect on their lifestyles. The cheapest Fitbit these days goes for around $80 with prices going up as high as $200. Thatโs too much for a glorified rubber band.ย
7. Taco Bell Has Only One Option in Different Forms
Hereโs another company thatโs trying to fool you. Taco Bell has only one menu option that they wrap into different shapes and call by different names.
Think about it. Every item on Taco Bellโs menu is just beef, tomato, lettuce, and cheese wrapped in some form of tortilla. Crunchwrap Supreme? Cheesy Double Decker Taco? Stacked Nachos Supreme? Burrito Bowl? Theyโre all the same thing in different forms.ย

Now, does this mean that I hate Taco Bell and never want to eat there again? Hell no. I would do terrible things for someone to bring me a Taco Party Pack and a fat cup of Baja Blast right now. Just donโt be fooled. If youโre eating at Taco Bell, thereโs only one thing youโre going to get.
8. Beer on Ice Is Good
This one is going to get me some death threats from frat boys and Germans. The first time I tried beer on ice was in Thailand and I was definitely skeptical. But, keeping my mind open, I actually learned to like it.

First off, it keeps your beer cold way longer. Secondly, youโre also drinking water as you drink your beer, which means that youโll never get a hangover, even if youโre drinking double-digit cervezas. And, honestly, the taste of beer on ice is pretty damn refreshing on a hot afternoon. So, put your manhood aside and try some ice in your beer.
