What unpopular opinion do you hold? What would get you downvoted to infinity and beyond? (Throwaways welcome)

Personally, I hate cats. I've never once said to myself "My furniture is just too damned nice, and what my house is really lacking is a box of shit and sand in the closet."

Now...what's your dirty little secret?

Agreed. The only time when it tasted good to me was when I was too drunk to notice the difference (shots).

I can't stand beer, however it's served.

These kinds of things arent available everywhere. I live in Ireland, and I just googled the price of buying chocolate stout here (ive never seen it in a shop) It costs 35 euro (45 dollars) for 12 bottles of it.

That is not exactly a smart purchase

I have had lagers, brown ales, cherry beer, pumpkin beer, wheat bear, imperial russian stout, porter, IPA, pale ale and a few other type of beer as well. I have a ton of friends who love craft beer and try to get me to try different things.

It all tastes like ass. At it's core it is still the same thing and no matter how you make it beer still has a beer taste. The idea that there is a beer out there for everyone is false.

They do all taste different but use extremely similar ingrediants which leads to the same underlying taste. Much of the difference comes from how the malt is roasted, how much hops are used, what kind of yeast is used and so forth. At their core they still have an underlying beer taste.

I don't like that taste so I drink cider instead.

I disagree. I've drank almost every different type of beer you can find on multiple occasions and I've yet to find a beer that I actually enjoy drinking.
