This weekend the New York Times released their Meh List, which included six things that are "meh" according to one Samantha Henig. The list has a few twists, like how the word "meh" isn't on the list itself, and also the SHOCKING finale:

1. Harrison Ford’s earring*
2. Golden ages
3. “Epic”
4. One mimosa
5. Rimless eyeglasses
6. Ramps (the vegetable)

There are two things that could have happened here. Either the Grey Lady is trolling us, or someone made a really embarrassing error. In case it's the latter, we've taken a few moments to draft up a correction, that should go up as soon as possible: "An earlier version of The Meh List misspelled 'Fiddlehead Ferns' as 'Ramps.' Ramps still amazing. We regret the error." Yeah, that's right, FIDDLEHEAD FERNS ARE TERRIBLE.
