Graham crackers? Awesome.
Chocolate? Awesome.
Roasted marshmallows? Hell yeah.
Here’s the thing: a hard cracker on a half-melted chocolate piece with a gooey marshmallow is a horrible combination of textures. The crunch-and-smush is bad and I hate it.
It’s also messy as hell and makes your fingers so sticky. Sticky hands is one thing when eating most foods, but most foods are enjoyed in or near a room with a sink. You just have somewhat sticky hands for the rest of the night unless you make a trip to a handwashing station or you half-ass rinse them off.
Give me a Moon Pie all day long.

S’more of what?
Okay I can understand your reasoning except for preferring a moon pie. Disgusting.
Try making a S’more with a Reese’s cup instead of just a chocolate bar.
They really only hit if you haven’t had real food all day, just whatever shitty burger or hot dog. And they’re much better eaten socially.
Try making a s’more when you’re alone in your place. You’ll feel n othing. Basically a ritual banquet food for summer time bonfires
You are correct
We know, they’re terrible.
There’s a reason nobody eats them except when camping, because what else are you gonna “make” for dessert?
chef slowik, is that u?
I’m with you on this take.
I completely agree, gimme a damn dawg
>Sticky hands is one thing when eating most foods, but most foods are enjoyed in or near a room with a sink. You just have somewhat sticky hands for the rest of the night unless you make a trip to a handwashing station or you half-ass rinse them off.
Or… just bring a bottle of hand sanitizer or wet wipes, or something. Not being near a sink isn’t a reason to have sticky hands all night long — this has been a solved problem for some time now.
Ok fine, but I don’t think you’d feel the same if you used Ghirardelli salted caramel, raspberry or orange peel squares in place of Hersheys…
Nah.
You can take your dry ass Moon Pies.
They do not at all replace a sweet and smoky hot marshmallow and melty chocolate sandwich right off a fire.
Moon pies over s’mores??? Well we found the one person who likes peeps and those icing covered sawdust cookies stores sell for some reason.
For a grown-up, sure. There are better snacks. But as someone who hosts a fair amount of backyard events, busting out the s’mores fixings around the firepit is always a hit with the kids.
Agree. Moon Pies are heaven.
I can’t defend u on this one bro
Graham crackers are just as nasty as marshmallows.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. I camp a lot and inevitably someone wants to make fuckin s’mores. S’more what you say?! Good one. I’m finna fling this molten ball of mallow at your cracker eating face bruh.
This is one unpopular opinion that I find quite strongly about: you’re wrong.
Funny thing is, each of those ingredients I don’t like on their own, but I love them together.
It’s a camping food. After a day or some hard outside play and no other sugar, sitting around a campfire, relaxing in a chair, roasting a marshmallow, a smore slaps.
Moon pies used to be good but they’re disgusting now. The texture difference is the whole point, do you not like cheesecake or key lime pie?
Way too much work for a tremendous hassle of a treat
This sounds like user error
Soak the graham cracker briefly in milk or coffee literally 30 seconds, put the chocolate in the microwave for 5 seconds and top with roasted marshmallows. Eat it with a fork. Tastes way better than
Yeah, I’m not crazy about graham crackers, though I think they make a wonderful pie crust, and I do love all the other typical components of a s’more.
Campfire s’mores suck. If you make them in the oven to allow the chocolate to melt it’s a little better

S’mores are easily in my top five desserts. You are a monster!
Moon pie is hands down one of the grossest things I’ve ever eaten. S’mores are delicious
wait there’s so many things about this that confuse me. first off, how is your chocolate not totally melted? if you let the hot marshmallow sit on the chocolate for a few minutes, then it melts almost completely. the level of smushy-ness also depends on how big of a marshmallow you use. we always use smaller ones so they can smush down well. And the graham crackers– what do you mean, hard? the ones we use are super easy to bite into, especially if you let the while thing sit for a few minutes.
as for the sticky hands, a wet rag takes care of it with no issue. literally. that’s all you need. it’s also pretty easy to keep your hands clean if you use smaller marshmallows, anyway.
also, most people who like smores don’t just like the food. they like making them with friends and family, and its always something fun to do while you’re camping. it’s also one of the easiest campfire deserts with minimal preparation.
my thoughts on your truly baffling opinion is that you just don’t like smores, which is totally fine! but that doesn’t mean its overhyped. that would be like if i said cow meat is overhyped just because i don’t enjoy the texture or taste.
(and you prefer moon pies over smores?? i think that’s a way more unpopular opinion lol)
Take my thumbs up for this terrible opinion of yours. Also learn how to not eat messily.
Not sure how solid outside and gooey inside is a texture problem. S’mores are fucking awesome.
I culturally must pick a moonpie over a s’more. So I begrudgingly agree
It’s the experience. If I went to someone’s house for dinner and they offered me a hot dog on a stick they cooked on the stove I’d be confused and disappointed. If they asked me if I want to burn a hot dog on a stick over a live fire and eat it I would jump at the opportunity.
The messy part is a you problem–quit overcooking your marshmallows quite so much.
I’ve always thought this too.
Completely disagree. Take my upvote for this unpopular opinion!
It seems like people eat them like once every 5 years at the most. How hyped are they?
The element to a s’more that fails is a graham cracker. Terrible choice and they’ll make you less horny and your foreskin fall off. We can do better.
