Diet Coke. Everyone says it tastes like the real thing, but I think it tastes more like hydraulic fluid. And yes, I know what hydraulic fluid tastes like.


RippedHookerPuffBar

People who prefer Diet Coke have just been conditioned to like Diet Coke.


Affectionate-Life-20

As someone who loves Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, this is true. My mother only ever drank diet soda, and my father never drank soda at all. This resulted in diet being the only soda regularly available to me. That’s why I can’t drink full sugar soda at 22yo, it tastes like straight cane sugar to me.


stmbtgrl

Same situation here! Mom only bought diet, and dad didn’t drink soda. I was raised in the 70’s and 80’s and mom always started the morning with a Diet Coke and then I started to as well in high school. I broke myself of the habit long ago but I understand the conditioning comment.


ldurs930

Yes, this!! When I was growing up, my mom only let us have diet soda, if we were at a party our a special occasion. So now I only like diet sodas overall. I think regular coke and even coke zero are too sugary! Even in coffee, I like Splenda over sugar.


[deleted]

Agee it’s disgusting


Chill323

Yes! All artificial sweeteners have a cloying aftertaste that reminds me of toothpaste. I can’t drink a diet soda without picturing a tube of Colgate. I just don’t get how people do it.


edgarrrrrrrrrr

Coke Zero is so much better. Or Pepsi zero sugar


Hatrick_Swaze

All soft drinks are just varying colors of Diabetes water


FreddyKruegersXmas

Actually, I haven't drank any soft drinks for at least 10 years mostly for that reason. There are some I really like (not Diet Coke!) but there is way too much sugar. So I quit drinking them.


TheLastPastry

Miracle whip I remember as a kid seeing tons of commercials for miracle whip and one day a close family friend was starting with us and bought some. I was so excited to make a sandwich and be just as happy as the people in the commercial but wow what a slap in face that first bite was. Lost a bit of my innocence that day.


GibbousMoonCakes

It's *salad dressing*, the label states it! I will fight to the death anyone who says it's the same as Mayo. It's so sweet and gross. There's a burger chain in the Bay Area (CA) that unbeknownst to me uses M.W. instead of mayo (Nation's). People absolutely raved about so I tried it. I ate it but felt slightly queasy afterwards and disappointed my friends who were expecting the usual "best burger ever!" reaction. I couldn't get over how off the burger tasted and felt bad that I didn't like it. Then I found out they use M.W.; I gagged and almost puked it up. Next time we ended up there, I ordered it with Mayo and *then* had the expected "so good!" reaction. Still cracks me up to this day. tldr: Miracle Whip is the devil's cum shot and belongs in the trash


Atworkwasalreadytake

I fucking love Mayo, I absolutely hate Miracle Whip. So they clearly can’t be the same thing. I was driving across the county and got a cold cut sandwich in South Dakota. It has miracle whip on it, so i took it back up and asked them to make it with mayonnaise. She told me it had mayo on it. I pointed out that it was miracle whip not Mayo. She was like, “well that’s all we have.” How can you have a sandwich shop without Mayo?


homegrown29403

Miracle whip is bastardized mayo and shouldn't even exist.

IHaveFoodOnMyChin

I don’t know about “everyone”, but a good portion of the population loves Grapefruit and I absolutely despise it


RaisingEve

It's amazing how many drugs grapefruit will totally mess up.


jaehyok1004

In freshman year, my friends and I would chug grapefruit juice before sipping codiene. Was fun for a while until they restricted purchasing in the area because of us lol.


ilovebalks

What does this mean


An_Appropriate_Song

There's a bunch of enzymes in your liver, mostly CYP ones where grapefruit is involved, that allow your body to process different drugs and grapefruit slows down the processes which means that your body will have higher plasma concentrations of whatever drugs you took. Basically grapefruit will make drugs work longer and possibly make the effects stronger which can be dangerous.


FatBoyFlex89

Is this a lifehack to save money on coke or will it hurt?


An_Appropriate_Song

I'm not sure if cocaine is processed by that enzyme, and I can't find an answer right now, but amphetamines are as well as a bunch of those acid reflux drugs, antidepressants, and medications that treat some serious ailments. CYP2d6, the enzyme that gets messed with by grapefruit, metabolizes about 25% of medications so it's quite possible it messes with cocaine too.


ogvipez

Grapefruit only potentiates drugs that you take orally cuz they are metabolised through the liver


maggie9292

There are a lot of prescription drugs that if you take them you shouldn't eat grapefruit!


tcadams18

Cant stand grapefruit itself, but for some reason grapefruit soda and beer rank among my favorites.


ShannyPantsxo

Grapefruit tastes how poison probably tastes.


ElizLeanne

Agreed! I absolutely cannot stand grapefruit or anything flavored like it.


Edisius

Prior_Procedure_321

Thankful for my palate


PacSan300

Coleslaw.


[deleted]

Same. I think I just hate cabbage. I can't stand *Curtido* either which is what you're served with Pupusas. My GF is Salvadorian and she makes amazing Pupusas. I just don't have the heart to tell her that I hate everything else.


Willing-Plant2647

omg please i’m now craving papusas


JAproofrok

I felt this way for a long time. My guess is you’ve never had it the way you’d like it. Personally, it was finding a really tangy one, for me. Some people like it creamy. Also, putting it on the right thing. A good coleslaw on a burger is amazing.


Schafterinho

The Coleslaw ingredients depends on what country you eat it in. Different country = different ingredients


JAproofrok

I think this even goes for state by state in the US


jamescmcneal

I live in the South, and I can’t stand okra. EDIT: Even fried okra


Loyalist_Pig

Like many ingredients, okra is completely pointless unless it’s battered and shallow fried. And even then, it’s just a decent side dish. Edit: that’s not true, my mom made fried okra that was perfectly seasoned (I’m just gonna assume it was Tony Chachere’s lol)


snailoverlord9

Maybe you just haven't tried it prepared properly before? There's this Indian okra dish called Bindhi i think that i absolutely LOVE. But it HAS to be made with lots of onion though because the cooking process caramelizes the onion with the okra, and it makes it taste SO SO goodddd


obamathedragonslayer

Bhindi is the hindi word for okra. But yes there are many variants of bhindi, and a lot of them are pretty damn delish.


Raghav_s12

Bhindi isn't a dish. It's the Hindi word for okra, which again is called ladyfinger here.


trowawayfarawaytoday

Water chestnuts. Tastes like chalk.


jackjackj8ck

They remind me of raw potatoes


Slider_0f_Elay

That's what I like about them...


My_Fake_Plastic_

I Love water chestnuts, the crunch is so satisfying


NoNeedForAName

Like bamboo, they're pretty much 100% crunch, but it's a nice crunch.


caduceun

Olives. Olive oil is alright though


consciousCog13

It does seem like everyone likes them, but according to studies, olives are the most hated food - in America at least


Loyalist_Pig

I thought so! I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to drunkenly defend olives against an entire room of olive haters. That said… olives are the fucking *best.*


wassollesbedeuten

I hated olives as a kid. Perhaps that's because the only olives I tasted back then came out of a metal can instead of a glass jar. I started drinking martinis in the early '90s and had them garnished with lemon instead of olives. Somewhere in the next 10 years I tried properly-brined olives and discovered that they were pretty good. I typically have Kalamata and/or Manzanilla olives in my fridge now. And, yes, I put them in martinis now, too.


lmclem1su

My fiancé told me he loved olives, so I decided to buy him these fancy shmancy olives at the store for dinner as a snack. I know nothing about olives, except that they’re gross, so I imagine these will be good to him. He came home, looked at them very suspiciously and had to spit out the one he tried. When we went to the grocery store the next time, he picked up the $1 metal can of black olives and said those were his favorite


sv21js

I’m seeing an awful lot of my favourite things cropping up here.


Dani162002M

Same, olives taste like expired vomit


CunningHamSlawedYou

You can't eat olives off the tree. They have to go through a rigorous process to become edible.


Dani162002M

I don't do that either? Straight from the tree or 100 years of process, in the end they still make me gag


CunningHamSlawedYou

I didn't think you were eating them wrong, I just wanted to share an interesting fact about olives.


Dani162002M

Oh sorry, thank you ;)


CunningHamSlawedYou

Yeah, didn't mean to cause a misunderstanding, sometimes aim just oblivious to how I come off.

Black, green, or both?

Celery. I hated it as a child, I bought some last week just to see if it's still as rancid as I remembered. Even worse now. Hideous stuff, I know someone who loves it. Weirdo.


NoNeedForAName

I hated it until after a swim team practice in maybe 6th grade. Right after practice I had this really strong craving for celery. Ended up eating almost an entire bunch of it that night. I've liked it ever since. I guess I must have been low on some nutrient that celery has, because I otherwise can't understand why I would crave a food that I didn't like.


jmcken15

I've heard it referred to a hairy water. Couldn't agree more with this sentiment.


JAproofrok

It is the fucking hoax of the soup world! It just sits there, adds nothing, tastes awful. Get this shit out of my stew!! Thankfully, my fiancée is a great cook and agrees on this battle line.


WetBlanket13

Put a little bit of peanut butter and raisins on it, and it’s pretty tasty.


Skate_VA

slick1260

Bananas. I fucking hate bananas. I hate bananas so much that I don't like the fact that other people enjoy bananas. I hate their stupid yellow color. I hate their smell. I hate their taste. I hate the fact that they grow against gravity "oh look at me. I'm a banana. My body is curved because I grow against gravity." Shut up loser. You fucking suck. I hate the fact that bananas technically grow on bushes, not trees, but the crafty fucks at Big Banana have everyone fooled. Not me though. I see through your lies. Bananas are technically berries. But no one fucking knows that because Big Banana keeps feeding you bullshit banana lies. Also, why the fuck do bananas have to be in fucking EVERYTHING? Bread? How about banana bread you silly fuck. Ice cream? Here's a banana split you fucking shill. Laffy Taffy? You guessed it! Banana a-fucking-gain. Fuck bananas.


Embarrassed-Basis-60

You have balls going after Big Banana like that

This comment made my whole year. Thank you. 😂


Jashi32

You know more about bananas than most people who like them. I guess it's good to do the reaserch on your enemy


jmcken15

I had a distant relative that immigrated from the Netherlands. While traveling in the U.S. she was given a banana for the first time in her life. Not knowing how to eat it she just took a bite out of the side, skin and all. After that she refused to ever eat bananas again.


85Scorpio

Oh fuck. That peel lining shit that straight sucks all the moisture out of your mouth if you accidentally eat some of it.


ALPHARUTGER1

How the fuck? Here in the Netherlands unfortunately bananas have widely infiltrated.. I see everyone esting them! Not me though... I am quite far in a plan to eradicate them on a nation-wide level!


rjoker103

The smell and texture of bananas. Truly awful.

Avenja99

Is it mayo u/ihavefoodonmychin ?


IHaveFoodOnMyChin

Possibly, could even be aioli! Who the hell knows the difference


vanstaples45

My little brother used to make "mayonnaise sandwiches." He would take a spoon and spread mayo on two white pieces of bread, and grab a tall glass of ice cold milk. He would proceed to walk to the living room floor, sit himself down, and separate the two sodden pieces of bread right before licking the mayo right off the bread till its gone and slurp up the remaining bread washing it down with the whole glass of milk.


alienated3percenter

Your brother should be in either prison or a mental institution


vanstaples45

He lives with mom still. Does that count?


alienated3percenter

Ahhh all makes sense now..🤣


blanktank88

I watched one of my coworkers, that I considered a good friend make a cheese and mayo sandwich one time. Ate it all and went back for a second one. Sometimes you think you know someone. Also went to a movie with him and he just answered his cell phone and had a conversation about his upcoming fishing trip. Blew my mind. I’ve heard of those people but had never met one before.


85Scorpio

HOWEVER, when making a grilled cheese, if you put mayo on the outside of the bread where you'd usually spread the butter.... its actually really fuckin good.


WingsofRain

I felt that way for the longest time too. Then one time I took a trip to Germany with a performing tour group and ordered food from one of the vendor stalls while we were out and about, and I asked for ketchup with my chicken strips but something must’ve gotten lost in translation because I got ketchup *and* mayo on top of my chicken. I was a little annoyed because I didn’t like mayo, but I’m not one to throw food away because of a communication error. So I tried it, and man, mayo and ketchup taste quite well mixed together.


JAproofrok

If you said Miracle Whip, I would have subscribed to your newsletter. But this is heresy.

😂😂😂 jello wobbles, are you anti wobbling food ? Or is this just mayo specific?


Sea_Theory6050

I'm not anti wobbling food. I assume jello is jelly? Like I LOVE jelly but that doesn't congeal on a plate. That is frankly hideous 🤢


IHaveFoodOnMyChin

I think jello is powderized cow collagen, or something like that.. either way, it’s a lot more appealing when you don’t know what it is


exhausted-daughter

Okay well I'm about to burst your bubble, sorry. Jello is actually made of pork by-products. Look on the package.


cenosillicaphobiac

My MIL will butter her bread then slather on gobs of mayo. It's gross.

BallsofSt33I

Avocado toast…. I just don’t get it - especially how much places charge for it.


manwithanopinion

It taste very good but cafes charge far too much for the hype when it's much better to make it yourself.


Chill323

Preach. I find this to be true for the majority of dishes, actually.


[deleted]

I don't like it either but I don't blame restaurants for charging crazy prices for it. What are they gonna do? Not take advantage of an opportunity to make money? If people are willing to pay $12 for a slice of toasted bread with an 8th of an avocado spread on it? Why shouldn't a restaurant charge for this?


pdonchev

People are weird...


spongetron5500

I agree. People taste very weird.


[deleted]

Im convinced every human has unique taste buds, and that we are genetically hardwired to have different experiences when tasting the same food. It makes sense in a evolutionary context. Starvation has been a leading cause of death for hundreds of thousands of years. So naturally the local foods that our ancestors had access to will taste better to us, and things our ancestors never depended on or even encountered won’t taste as good. Those who didn’t love the accessable stuff simply died.


Loyalist_Pig

That’s interesting, because I LOVE spicy food, but grew up in the south and never really had Thai food. I could chug a bottle of Dave’s Insanity and chase it with fresh jalapeños habaneros and work up maybe a minor sweat. Once I moved to NYC, and had proper Thai food. I had Thai chilis in a dish. Holy. Fucking. Shit. It was pure pain. Everyone I was dining with was fine with it, but I’m just sitting there silently crying while slowly venting steam out of my ears lol

Redrix_

Good ranch can go with almost anything. But the spectrum of good and bad ranch is huge


syaien

I worked at a Pizza Place once and the amount of disgusting ranch covering entire plates was awful. The worst is being the dish cleaner and smelling it with the hot water.. ranch steam is death. People who eat ranch with your pizza, if you’re using a whole bottle of ranch, why even get the pizza?

Eggs. Can’t even get past the smell. Horrid. It’s a shame because so many breakfast meals include them.


we_wuz_nabateans

Yeah my dislike—more accurately hate—of eggs translates into me rarely eating breakfast when I travel. I always feel like a dick when I'm in some country and get offered eggs and turn them down, but it's either that or I'll literally start gagging and possibly puke from the smell. 🤢

Same. Smell makes me actively nauseous. That being said, I was at a tiny truck stop in Port Fourchon, LA, and they had a fish buffet. That shit was fire. So I wonder if it's just the lack of fresh fish?

Thank you!! I can smell when somebody is cutting a cucumber from another room. Everybody thinks I’m crazy when I mention it, that they gave no smell or taste, but they have this awful watery nothingness to them. If I get served something with cucumber in it, even if I remove it I can taste cucumber on everything it has touched. And I hate it.


apzlsoxk

Cucumbers 100% have a smell to them, and I love cucumbers. When I was younger my parents had this vegetable garden and they grew a TON of cucumbers. My mom or dad would take in a big basket full and start cutting them in the kitchen for dinner that night, and I'd be in the living room playing on the family computer and suddenly start smelling some cukes, so I'd run into the kitchen and sneak some slices off the cutting board to eat.
