Twitter is a daily graveyard of takes nobody asked for. A few go viral and live in the public consciousness for a few hours, others are self-consciously deleted by their authors for underperforming. But every once in a while, someone will pose a question broad enough to resonate with the Tweeting public at large and inspire some takes that are actually worth reading.
Like Twitter user Michael Realman (@trichesfaucons) who tweeted “We’re canceling each other over food takes today. Post your cancellable food take.”
we’re cancelling each other over food takes today. post your cancellable food take.
— Michael Realman (@trichesfaucons) April 5, 2022
The tweet, which was posted yesterday morning, has since garnered over 2k retweets, 81k quote tweets, and 47k likes. By now most of the takes worth reading are in, and it seems like a lot of people weighed in, including our own Vince Mancini.
El Pollo Loco is the best fast casual in America https://t.co/uMrDffdwyP
— Vince Mancini (@VinceMancini) April 5, 2022
Sure, we’re totally biased here but you know what? This isn’t such a bad take. Sure, I absolutely hated El Pollo Loco’s awful attempt at quesabirria but we’ve given El Pollo Loco the top spot in our fast food tacos ranking, so this one gets a strong cosign from me!
Check out some of the best Twitter takes below. Some are good enough to stand on their own while others are downright ridiculous. A lot of these tweets we will let stand on their own, whether we agree or disagree, but on some occasions, the take was so jaw-dropping that we couldn’t hold our tongue and had to respond.
It’s a take of a take! We’re truly living in some sort of social media hell.

Brussel Sprouts are objectively great, did Nunes tweet this himself? It wouldn’t be the weirdest thing he’s done on Twitter.
Truffle oil does not make anything better. https://t.co/tiUExmltPo

They certainly don’t make everything butter, but anything? Truffle oil on pasta? Come on!

Are we allowed to show this on the internet? What am I looking at here?
I don’t believe that anyone loves bread. It’s a nothing food that only serves as a way to hold good foods

Robbie we applaud you for this very brave (very wrong) stance.
If coffee didn’t have caffeine, no one would drink it. It’s like watered down motor oil. That’s why people put 20 other things in it at Starbucks.

Great coffee can be surprisingly nuanced and naturally sweet, so we can’t agree with this take.
Ketchup is mostly a condiment made for children and is easily the worst of all tomato-based sauces.

Hard co-sign.

Edible, sure, ‘fucking amazing?’ Not a chance.
Mixing candy corn into peanuts is like delicious sweet & salty crack to me and I am not ashamed. pic.twitter.com/rjI614WVNv

We’ll try it but we can’t imagine candy corn adding anything but a gelatinous texture that gets stuck in your teeth.
Baked Mac n cheese is disgusting. I’d rather have the stuff out of the box any day of the week
— freezelle (@mfreezelle) April 5, 2022
Hmm.
cheese is dumb and there’s a reason most cultures never developed it
— Kevin Hovdestad (@lackofrealism) April 5, 2022
Probably the craziest take so far.
Pie specifically fruit pies are an atrocity, fruit should not be warm OR DRIED I rest my case

No to avocado. On toast, in a smoothie, in a dip, on a burger, alone. Just no. pic.twitter.com/1WpIfZpgqr

An avocado presumably hurt this person.
Fried chicken is horrible food

Just wow.
