It's official, ladies and gentlemen. The once-beloved actor Benedict Cumberbatch is no longer the heartthrob he once was. According to a recent survey, avocado toast has taken over as the new object of our affection.
The survey, conducted by the International Society of Foodies, asked thousands of participants to rate various foods and celebrities on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of attractiveness. Avocado toast came out as the clear winner, with an average score of 9.8. Benedict Cumberbatch, on the other hand, received an average score of a measly 6.5.
This news may come as a blow to Cumberbatch, who has long been adored by fans for his dashing good looks and charming British accent. But it seems that the public's taste has shifted in favor of a more smushy and green object of desire.
So what is it about avocado toast that has stolen our hearts? Is it the creamy, buttery texture of the avocado, or the satisfying crunch of the toast? Or perhaps it's the Instagrammable aesthetic of the dish, with its vibrant hues and photogenic arrangement.
Whatever the reason may be, there's no denying that avocado toast has become a cultural icon in its own right. It has inspired countless recipes, ranging from the simple and classic to the outrageously decadent (we're looking at you, avocado toast with lobster and caviar).
And while some may argue that the obsession with avocado toast is just another millennial fad, there's no denying that this dish has won over the hearts and taste buds of people from all walks of life.
As for Benedict Cumberbatch, he may have to work a little harder to win back our affections. Perhaps he could start by starring in a rom-com where he plays a chef who specializes in avocado toast. Hey, it's worth a shot!
