Voodoo? More like Voodon't: Portland's Voodoo Doughnut most overrated tourist attraction in the world
https://www.usatoday.com/money/blueprint/credit-cards/biggest-tourist-traps-in-the-world/
PORTLAND, Ore. — It's safe to say that Portland's Voodoo Doughnut has become one of the quintessential tourist stops in the city - but, according to a recent survey, it's better if you voo-don't grab one of the titular doll-shaped doughnuts or Maple Blazer Blunts.
Per a USA Today analysis, Voodoo Doughnut has the dubious honor of being the most overrated tourist attraction in the world.
The study analyzed 23.2 million Google reviews of 500 of the most popular attractions in the world to "uncover the biggest tourist traps, the most overpriced and the most overrated attractions worldwide."
Voodoo Doughnut claimed its title based on the frequency of the word "overrated" in Google reviews, says USA Today.
Additionally, Multnomah Falls ranked #28 on the study's list of top tourist traps.
Washington state also wasn't unscathed, with Pike Place Market (#10), Space Needle (#27), and the original Starbucks (#54) all hitting the tourist trap list.
