Avocado or AvocadNO?

Posted on by Rachel Becker

To like avocados or to not like avocados- that is the question. Apparently, those who tweet about their food preferences more often than not tweet about how great these green berries are (Yes, avocados are berries). I, however, have the unpopular opinion that avocados have a weird texture and, overall, are gross and overrated. For this assignment I decided to collect 6 tweets that all contained either #avocado or #avocados. A crucial topic about a current event? No, not exactly. But, in my opinion, avocados are controversial, and this topic simply needs to be discussed.

Most of the the tweets praising avocados contain recipes and suggestions on how to integrate avocados into meals or snacks. The 4 tweets below do exactly that. Some people like to put avocado on toast, but I believe those people are taking something so pure and delicious and tainting it with a strange green paste of some sort. I digress.

The tweets below were written by people who, for lack of a better term, get me. Users @livlisko and @pl1zza wrote tweets that describe their dislike for avocados, and I’d be more interested in eating a meal with those two individuals rather than those who wrote the tweets above.

It seems that more people on Twitter like avocados than don’t, and that makes me cautious about who I can trust on that platform. If you’re reading this, please think twice before you indulge in this peculiar green berry.
