> I don't know why people like Sriracha anyway. It just tastes of "hot" and vinegar. Nope, also of garlic. "I don't like $PopularThing" is always a boring take. Other people clearly like it if it's popular. It is known since ancient times, De gustibus non est disputandum (1): Tastes differ, so it's pointless to dispute matters of taste as if there's a correct answer. 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_gustibus_non_est_disputandum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_gustibus_non_est_disputandu...

"$post is a boring take" is also such a boring and unecessary take. As is my reply to yours.

Don't be confused by the etymological relationship to dispute. https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0060%3Aentry%3Ddisputo https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext...

> "I don't like $PopularThing" is always a boring take. Other people clearly like it if it's popular. So because something is popular, saying you don't like it is somehow incorrect? Do you also like McDonalds? It's popular, so you should like it, right? You should think that McDonalds is good, high-quality food, because it's popular, get it? Except it's not. It's objectively terrible food. Sugary greasy insipid crap, and these days it's not even cheap or quick. I feel like Rooster Sriracha is the McDonalds of hot sauces.
