Turkish delight has the same energy as mystery meat. The name convinces us it's better than what we think it will be, but it never is.

Why would the name "mystery meat" make you think that it's anything good?

One line of cup noodle in Japan proudly markets its mystery meat prominently on the label. 謎 is a puzzle, riddle, or mystery, and 肉 is meat.

Puzzle meat sounds way better than mystery meat. Mystery meat is scary, puzzle meat is a challenge.

I get the same worried feeling whenever I'm about to eat a food with a sauce described only by its color

Red delicious?

Oh no no no...

It's like nice guys. If you have to say you are, then you probably aren't.
