Like cream of wheat, grits are a mushy staple of the classic American breakfast. People must have had extremely weak teeth back in the day if everything they loved to eat was slimy, squishy, or creamed. Even worse, the mild flavoring calls for an addition of cheesy additives alongside toast and bacon, perfect for those lacking teeth to chew with.

Grits

We refuse to believe that anyone eats these plain, so the health benefits are questionable. Just admit it, grits are only enjoyable once tons of salt and butter supplement it. No amount of Cracker Barrell advertising or trips to grandpa's farm will convince Millennials that they should stick around over their nutritious avocado wheat toast.

  • When Rihanna debuted her famous red locks in 2010 (around the same time she was featured on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie"), she started a red-hair trend. Over the next twelve months, she changed her hairstyle 13 times—more than once a month! But that came at a pricey cost. Sources say the annual price tag came out to $1,168,000 on just her hair.
  • While attending the Grammys in February 2000, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a green Versace dress that instantly became a phenomenon. The barely-there ensemble had a dramatically low cut that came below JLo’s belly button. It became such a talking point that it was Google’s most popular search query up to that point, and it spurred the company to include images into search results. It became the motivation for Google Images.
  • In the summer of 2007, Joh Hamm became a household name when Mad Men premiered to critical acclaim and strong ratings. Just over a year and a half later, Ellie Kemper stole America's hearts (and Dwight's and Andy's) when she became the new receptionist on The Office. Before they were famous, Hamm was Kemper's high school drama teacher!
