Tomato juice only tastes good when you are on a flight.

Tomato juice is so gross to pick and anyone who says 'oh, it's not that bad' they're just lying because they like it with vodka... I've noticed that people only drink tomato juice on flights... Tomato juice tastes better on an airplane.

Scientific studies by Lufthansa and others have confirmed that dry cabin air and low pressure reduce sensitivity to sweet and salty, but leave umami (found in tomatoes) relatively intact, making it taste better by comparison.

Dasani is the worst bottled water in the world.

My first one I'm going to go straight forward and say Dasani. Dasani water is trash, all of it, it's the world's worst water. It just tastes like shit.

Subjective taste preference, though Dasani is famously mocked on the internet.

Coconut water is a lie and tastes terrible.

I'm gonna go with coconut water. Trash. Someone tried to sell us that coconut water fixes hangovers. That's a fucking lie. Coconut water stinks. I don't like it. It just gives you a weird aftertaste. Just drink regular water.

Taste is subjective; scientific studies on its hangover-curing properties are mixed.

There is no difference between 1%, 2%, and whole milk.

I do [drink whole milk]... I just have strong bones. I bet you big guy, we do a taste test, I would be able to... there's no difference.

A blind taste test on a subsequent episode proved that there is a very obvious difference between the types of milk, and Hank failed.

Any soda with 'Zero' in the name is not a real soda and is trash.

Any soda that has a zero is just not a real soda. You try and get it as an option called Mountain Dew Zero, Sprite Zero... Trash.

Anchovies are actually delicious and only hated because of Ninja Turtles propaganda

Anchovies are not that bad. They only get a bad rap because of cartoons. You were told from a young age [by] the Ninja Turtles... That's actually not at all what anchovies are. They are delicious. They just taste like salt... There's been a tremendous propaganda effort against anchovies and sardines for most of my adult life.

Taste is subjective, but anchovies remain one of the least popular pizza toppings in the U.S.

Raw onions on a burger are a lazy topping that overpowers everything else

I'm going to go with raw onion. Just raw onion on a burger. It doesn't matter if it's red or if it's white onion—it can overpower the entire rest of the day. It's significant... it's a sign of a shitty sports bar burger.

Artichokes are a disgusting pizza topping

Artichokes are disgusting... Artichokes on pizza is disgusting. As soon as you start doing dips, because every dip when you're like, 'Oh yeah, the spinach artichoke dip is good'—it's like probably a shitload of butter or cheese that makes it good.

Shrimp is a disgusting pizza topping

Shrimp on pizza is disgusting... The texture of shrimp on pizza is very disgusting. It's like the cheese and the shrimp together just don't work. Cheese and shrimp? I wouldn't have cheese and shrimp.

Gummy bears are a terrible ice cream topping because they get rock hard

Gummy bears on ice cream... disgusting. They get so hard when you go to like frozen yogurt bars. The consistency of a gummy bear is completely ruined when it's put on ice cream and the flavors never match up.

Animal style fries at In-N-Out are wildly overrated

Animal style sauce on fries at In-N-Out. I think it's wildly overrated. I really do. Animal sauce on the burger... that adds something. Animal sauce on fries just becomes disgusting and you're like what are we doing eating a bunch of soggy fries? It's a cool hipster thing to do.

Subjective culinary opinion, though frequently debated in regional burger discourse.

Heinz is the perfect ketchup and house-made versions are always inferior

I'm going to go with homemade ketchup or house-made ketchup. If you're at a restaurant and they have like a burger or fries and you ask for ketchup and they make it themselves—I just can't stop thinking all I ever want is Heinz. Heinz will never be topped... I would rather die on my feet than die also on my knees eating inferior ketchup.

Ketchup is a disgusting mask for people with bad taste

Ketchup period. Ketchup is disgusting. Anyone who jumps—it's a mask. It's the same as buffalo sauce. If you need to have ketchup—like people that eat pizza but I need to have ketchup... it's just a masquerade. People that eat ketchup get addicted to it.

Circus Peanuts are the most trash candy ever invented

My first one is no-brainer: circus peanuts. They suck. Universally regarded as the most trash candy to ever be invented... I think they're just invented so like dads can have candy that they know that their kids won't eat.

Hot dog water is a top-four worst type of water

I've got hot dog water. It is the equivalent of juicing a diet. Remnants of bathroom hot dog water... that's the most disgusting thing you've ever said in your entire life.

The ranking of 'worst water' is inherently a comedic opinion.

Wheaties taste like an old person's butthole

Frosted Flakes is easily the worst cereal option

This is way more controversial than my last one. But easily my least favorite cereal Frosted Flakes... growing up and I go to my friend's house for sleepovers or whatever and they go on Frosted Flakes. No disgusting.

Completely subjective matter of taste.

Honey Bunches of Oats is the greatest cereal hack for eating sugar disguised as health food

I'm also happy that no one said Honey Bunches of Oats Because that's the greatest like hack of eating healthy, but it's really just sugar cereal agreed that I love Honey Bunches of Oats. It's my whole unit like, oh, yeah. I'm eating healthy here.

Nutritional data generally supports that many 'healthy' cereals contain high sugar levels, making it a factually grounded opinion.
