1. Chocolate Croissant
One of the only things more overrated than a croissant—and I cannot stress this enough—is a butter dough that believes it has improved itself with the addition of small chips of chocolate. Why do this? Why make an objectively boring pastry somehow more boring with the addition of an ingredient like chocolate, which inevitably forms an indigestible slab that lies like a corpse inside this flaky coffin of sadness?
I will note, however, that Gizmodo’s acting editor-in-chief Andrew Couts as well as its managing editor Kaitlyn Jakola—both of whom technically employ me—disagree. In fact, Kaitlyn asked to be quoted as saying “you’re 100% wrong.”
No matter, though, I have the support of my friends in my corner.
