  • 29% of people dislike canned cranberry sauce but reluctantly eat it anyway.
  • 24% do the same for green bean casserole.
  • 22% eat sweet potatoes or sweet potato casserole even though they don’t like it.

  • 19% don’t even like turkey, but eat it anyway.

Speaking of canned cranberry sauce, the poll also found nearly half of Americans say it is “disgusting.”
