It gets quite noxious going too far the other way too. While not onion rings, I despise the deep fried "blooming onion" type appetizers and those little onion "strings." Those are too much fry batter/breading, too much grease, and barely any onion!

Sometimes I fall into the trap. I go out with my friends, and they want to order these onion appetizers, and I forget how bad they were...until I start eating them. Then I keep eating because our entrees haven't arrived yet.
