1. Eeewww!! 🫣🤢

That doesn't even look appealing or appetizing!

Edited to add: Haven't been to an Applebee's in years, there aren't any closer than about an or more away. And what the heck do they mean by O-M?

2. I think it's a play on OMG

No it’s not really appealing. My wife and I are laughing at this.

3. Somebody must have found it appealing

they wouldn't put it on their menu otherwise.
Laughing at it is probaly the best thing that can be said about it!

4. The ads for Taco Bell food are the ones I find nauseating.

You couldn’t pay me to eat that stuff!

5. Yeah. I used to love that stuff

The commercials make it look disgusting

8. I used to as well, this was back in the 80's, tried it on and off the last three decades and it's only worsened

6. A benefit of no cable

I don't see the food ads any more. Makes it easier to avoid those pesky triggers.

If I were dining out, I wouldn't order that, but by golly, when I saw the picture, i wanted it. Because cheese

7. In OpenSecrets, Applebees supports the Dems by a wide margin

10. I'm also trying to lose weight and do that.

Another big tip is cutout every liquid besides water. I don't do this entirely but I try to drink primarily water.
