The "unpopular opinion" meme is ironically popular.

Twitter is the ultimate platform for people to voice their divisive opinions. So, when this meme gave people the opportunity to stir the pot for no reason, it caught on pretty quick.

While a lot of these threads debate serious topics, the more lighthearted Twitter trolls took the trend in a different direction.

These are the best hot takes that, if you really think about them, are neither “hot” nor “takes”.

There's the original unpopular opinion

You knew someone would bring up milk

Then there are the food opinions which got more than a little weird

Also this fine selection of opinions on printers, pens, and water coolers

These bizarrely funny, but decidedly wrong opinions

This mother of all memes that is just so meta

Last but not least, there were the unpopular opinion haters who pointed out the irony of it all
