"Everything having 'PROTEIN' written in large letters on the packaging. People are eating it thinking that it's somehow better or healthier, but most of these products don't even have any extra protein in them."
"I saw Dubai chocolate squares selling for $17.99 at my store. Absolutely bonkers. I'll never spend that much on a trendy chocolate."
"There seems to be a 'pickle in everything' trend going on: sandwiches with a massive pickle as the bread, pickle-flavored cotton candy, pickle-flavored vodka. The worst offender of them all is Popeyes' pickle lemonade. As someone who hates pickles more than any food on earth, this trend makes me ill."
Bold 'PROTEIN' labeling appears on many products despite minimal added protein, creating a misleading health impression. Luxury or novelty items such as Dubai-branded chocolate squares carry extremely high prices that many consumers find unreasonable. A pervasive 'pickle in everything' trend applies pickle flavor or whole pickles to unexpected items, including sandwiches, cotton candy, vodka, and lemonade, prompting strong aversion from some people. These examples illustrate that numerous contemporary food trends prioritize novelty, marketing, or price over genuine culinary value or broad consumer appeal.
