BBQ Foods Everyone Loves That I Just Can’t Get Behind

BBQ season is in full swing, so odds are if you go to any given outdoor gathering, whether it be in Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, or any other Northern Colorado town, you'll most likely see some summer food favorites on the menu. And if we're being honest, I can't stand some of those popular options.

Here are (in my opinion) the most overrated summer foods because haters are gonna hate and I'm a hater.

Watermelon

What in the world is even the point of watermelon? I recently learned that watermelon is 92% water. Why not just drink a glass of water? And can we talk about the seeds? Once, at a young age, someone told me that if you swallow a watermelon seed, you'll get pregnant, and I was far too stupid a child to not believe it.

So between the mess with the 92% of water and the possible teen pregnancy, I have been out of the watermelon game for literal decades.

Popcicles

Even as a kid, I've always had an issue with the "sticky" feeling. I grew up in the 90s, and I'm pretty sure wet wipes weren't invented yet. Still, to this day, when I see a happy kid eating a soggy, sloppy popsicle, I want to run far, far away.

Did I even have a childhood?

Corn on the Cob

Maybe I'm just too nitpicky, but I also think these choices are all sensory nightmares. Let's add corn on the cob to the list because any food I have to pick my teeth after eating isn't for me. Full stop.

Yes it's a vegtable and yes anything smothered in butter is usually a dream come true, something about corn on the cob just seems to problematic.

I said what I said.
