Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Hellmans/Best changed their recipe a few years ago and tasted like trash. Switched between a few “fancier” expensive brands and couldn’t find the right flavor, then tried the store brand and it was exactly right and cheaper.
I think Best switched back, but it’s too late , I’m not paying the higher price any longer.
Make your own.
Takes me less than 5 minutes with a stick blender, and I control everything that goes in it.
This is a decent recipe, except I'd sub a light olive oil and add an egg yolk (so one egg, one yolk).
I make it about once a month.
Why? What I’m doing is easy and tastes fine.
I guess blending 5 ingredients is about the same difficulty level as getting betrayed by a manufacturer, going to a store several times buying 5 different expensive brands, not really liking any of them, and either wasting the food or eating sth you don't like for a few months, and then finally homing in on something. Both takes some amount of work. Both is fine, though. Whatever floats your boat. I also buy a specific store brand mayo and like it. But if they ever change it I'm not so sure anymore. Lots of companies put way too much vinegar into their products.
We started boycotting Hellmans/Best with the change as well. We go with Duke's now.
