I quit all sodas back in 1994. Not sure if related, but I still weigh the same as I did in 1994. (150).
Quoted from fuseholder:Royal Crown or Dr. Pepper over Coke or Pepsi.
45 years ago, I loved RC cola, but I always hated Dr. Pepper.
(For whatever reason most of my girlfriends through the years have liked that nasty drink. I call it Dr. Pecker).
The worst soda ever was Tab. It is still hard to believe my parents liked that crap.

Okay, gloves off...
Video pins, be they on a phone, a tablet, a computer or a full size virtual pin, are 97% as much fun as "real" pinball, without the breakdowns, the cost, or all the space they take up! (And I have 14 of the damned things. I prefer real myself, but I use both.)
Ketchup belongs on hot dogs. In Germany, they even have a special wurst with ketchup right in the name, Ketwurst! You gonna argue with Germans about wurst? (Brats are the best, though.)

Pinball is more fun when you forget about formal competition. Gravity is the true adversary!
If Spooky had made more than 750, and if the games weren't delivered needing a long laundry list of tweaks (which tanked a ton of early ratings), Rick & Morty would be a strong contender for the top ten. It's numero uno in my opinion. WELDED to the floor.
The current sentiment of "anything goes" regarding hairstyles is idiotic.
But at least hair grows back. Covering large areas of one's body in bad art is far worse. Looks like partial death to me. I feel like a maverick, having no shaved areas of my scalp and exactly zero tats.
One should need a prescription to get tobacco products. What a sad accident of history that crap is.
Quoted from Bmad21:I can't smoke or use drugs due to medical issues.
I can't either but it's mostly due to common sense

You win the thread, there is no more unpopular opinion than this. For good reason 
I finally got my Rush LE… set it up, played it 7 or 8 times and turned it off to watch some TV.
I love me some Rush (the band) - but I think this game may be my worst purchase yet.
Added over 2 years ago:Edit: definitely not worst purchase yet… still really dislike the dual scoop.
Pinball is never going to grow as long as location players are ignored in favor of collectors. Not everyone lives near a barcade or museum or has the money and space to shell out several thousand dollars to have a piece of arcade equipment in their own home. When it comes to themes, it feels limited to the dad bands and sci-fi franchises that older collectors want. Where are the modern bands getting their due the way KISS and The Stones did in the early 80s or Guns 'n Roses in the 90s? There isn't much for a younger person to get excited about. It certainly isn't helped when many operators use the cheaped out Pro model, either. I don't know why Stern even sells Godzillas without the moving building 30 years after Doctor Who had one in all of its examples.
There are too many "stickies" on the forum. 17 as of today. Are there really 17 topics that are so important that we can't let them slide off into oblivion like all the other topics? If the topic is that important it will stay at the top by itself OR people can search for it after it falls away. Isn't that what the search function is for? Do we really need stickies?
Quoted from Jigs:Spooky's games are subpar at best and overpriced. Hyped and elevated to an undeserved level.
Agreed and I have only owned one. I have played most of them. A friend told me when you lift the playfield they all look like someone DIY'ed the game. Sloppy and unprofessional. :O
I do love TNA though! It's a most reliable game in our lineup. i have never had to lift the playfield so I dunno how DIY it looks.
Gottlieb system 3 games are the most reliable vintage pinball games.
TNA should have had a spinner in the right orbit too.
I love (and hate) pinflation. My games are worth a lot more but I can't buy used games as often as I once could.
The best toy ever in a pre 2000 pinball game is frank in Sega Frankenstein.
The best toy ever in a post 2000 pinball game is T-Rex in JP LE.
Some Pinside mods are overzealous and have an inflated sense of self ...kind of like police officers.
I like Kaneda.
Tournament players are not kind to games.
Haggis will ship all Fathoms sold.
Quoted from prl867:I wish they would bring back smoking sections in McDonald’s, Dennys, and movie theaters.
Edited to clarify: Cigarette smoking sections. Not weed.
Ha! I’d prob be ok with weed sections. Definitely glad cigarette smoking was taken outside though.
Quoted from Mbecker:Ha! I’d prob be ok with weed sections. Definitely glad cigarette smoking was taken outside though.
Even when I smoked,I hated the smell of smoke when I was eating at a restaurant.
Quoted from beelzeboob:For $200 a ticket. And getting assaulted by apparently blind people with strollers.
I go once every 7 years or so, and always ask myself just what the fuck I was thinking.
Disney's greed wasn't satisfied with the 200.00 ticket. They did away with the free fast pass system and replaced it with Genie. Now you pay extra to get in a rides lightning lane! I hope it bites the greedy bastard's in the ass,but I doubt it will!
Quoted from Ryguy80:people pricing pins ridiculously more than market value
Isn't Market Value = What the market/buyer is willing to pay - or what the market values something
So since the pins are selling at these arguably high prices, they are not actually priced over market value
There are always a few outliers high and low, but for the most part these high priced pins are selling
USDA choice graded Steak cooked rare is unpalatable. hard to chew, bloody taste, disgusting to look at. give me a medium steak anyday, or USDA prime prepared correctly.

Sorry, had to downvote that one.
Quoted from Hammerhead:Sorry, had to downvote that one.
most downvotes wins in this channel.
Unpopular opinion, huh? Ok.
For those of you who hate John Trudeau, I'm not going to ask you to stop. I'm going to demand that you be consistent:
Stern's Nugent - His crowning achievement occurred in 1978, when Nugent became the legal guardian of a 17-year-old Hawaiian girl in order to have sex with her.
Stern's Led Zeppelin - Jimmy Page - Lori Maddox was just 14 when their relationship started; Page was 28.
Stern's Aerosmith - In 1975, Steven Tyler obtained guardianship of 16-year-old Julia Holcomb, so that she could live with him in Boston. (Yes, got her pregnant.)
Bally's Rolling Stones and Stern's The Rolling Stones - Lori Maddox relates a story about having BDSM-flavored sex with Mick Jagger when she was 17. Bill Wyman and Mandy Smith began a relationship when she was 13 and he was in his 30s, and it became sexual when she was 14.
Stern's Elvis - Priscilla Presley, Elvis' wife, was just 14 when the couple met. The King's attention quickly overwhelmed her, and by age 17 she was living with Elvis in Graceland.
Data East's The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard - Pete Townshend was placed on the sex offenders register for five years in 2003 after admitting he had used his credit card to access a child pornography website.
And those are just the incidences we know about. So let's not compare numbers. Musicians do not live 9-to-5 lives and are VERY unconventional.
I expect you to publicly hate those games just as much. Or, if not, tell us why your self-serving double-standard is justified.
Now, demand more rock band themes, will ya?

So when do we get a Micheal Jackson pin?
Quoted from StoneyCreek:USDA choice graded Steak cooked rare is unpalatable. hard to chew, bloody taste, disgusting to look at. give me a medium steak anyday, or USDA prime prepared correctly.
A) you could not tell the difference between choice and prime
B) rare steaks are undercooked as the fat hasn’t started to rend
C) the correct answer is medium rare
D) don’t complain when you order a well done steak and get what you ask for
Quoted from bob_e:So when do we get a Micheal Jackson pin?
Quoted from vanilla:Data East's The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard - Pete Townshend was placed on the sex offenders register for five years in 2003 after admitting he had used his credit card to access a child pornography website.
Here's what wikipedia has to say: "Townshend initially claimed that he accessed the images as research in a campaign against child sexual abuse;[146] in 2012, he wrote in his autobiography, Who I Am, that he had accessed the illegal images to prove that British banks were complicit in channelling the profits from paedophile rings.[147] An article by investigative reporter Duncan Campbell that was published in PC Pro magazine revealed that police had no evidence that the website accessed by Townshend involved children and nothing incriminating was found on his personal computer.[148]"
It seems at least plausible to me that he is telling the truth.
Edit: In case you're wondering why Pete Townshend would take it upon himself to investigate and try to stop this sort of online criminality, he was molested as a child. A performer named Barry Crimmins did something similar.

Hated his designs before any of that shit.
Creech is legend, Congo is well for beginners.... and that's it.
I seriously doubt this is an unpopular opinion, but as someone who works for a major operator, there is nothing more eye rolling then when a tourist comes in and says that she/he loves all things pinball and has been playing his/her whole life and when asked what machine they’d like to start at, they proudly exclaim:
ADDAMS FAMILY!!
Quoted from bob_e:If sleepy Joe had to pay for the gas in his limo maybe he would do somthing
I don't believe a millionaire is really concerned about the price of gas.
Modern bands ?
WHAT modern bands?
Music died in the early 2000s.
Rap, hip hop, and pop with low IQ 3 word lyrics on repeat took over brainwashing the pigeons.
Boy band, Katy Perry and rap pinball ?? No thank you.
Quoted from CarShark:Where are the modern bands getting their due the way KISS and The Stones did in the early 80s or Guns 'n Roses in the 90s? There isn't much for a younger person to get excited about. It certainly isn't helped when many operators use the cheaped out Pro model, either.

Quoted from Jamesays:you cant fix stupid
100% and I have done my best to try.
The major problem with stupid is lack of recognition and acceptance of the problem
Quoted from Ryguy80:The 1980s and 1990s were the two greatest decades in American history.
and the 2020's have started off to be one of the worst
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:and the 2020's have started off to be one of the worst
That's not an unpopular opinion though!
