Sometimes I'm a little suspicious of people's answers to the polls (I still believe the baby eels were mistaken for noodles), but the near universal "I'd eat that" in response to basically any pastry rings true. Sweet baked goods truly have near-universal appeal. It's kind of charming how despite mixed feelings on pickles, mayonnaise, seafood, olives, etc... any sweet bun, cake, or donut from any culture has a similarly high percentage of people who'd eat it.
I have absolutely noticed this as well! I can't blame people, I'm a sucker for baked goods too. I love mixing those polls in just so we can all agree on something once in a while
