“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world & there’s still somebody who hates peaches”

Not everybody is everyone’s “cup of tea.” American burlesque dancer and model Dita Von Teese used a different expression:
 
“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.”
 
The “peach” expression was posted on Twitter on March 2, 2011, and has been printed on many images.
