Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

    “Looks great tastes awful” – fruits that have been bred/engineered for shelf appearance over taste (e.g. certain varieties of supermarket tomatoes and apples), and desserts like cakes that have all manner of pretty and intricate decorations on them, but then taste bland or off.

        I didn’t mean all supermarket apples, just certain varieties (such as the so-called “red delicious”), but I’ll edit my comment to clarify.
