What things do you dislike that most ppl love?

[kittybean]

Did you know that how you taste cilantro is supposedly a genetic trait? To many people, cilantro tastes like soap and can have a metallic aftertaste. This is supposed to be an inherited trait, more apparent in European populations. I''m not sure how accurate that info is, but it''s interesting! I love cilantro and think it makes everything taste wonderful--to me it tastes like a zesty, citrus-y parsley.

Asparagus and New Orleans. And I would especially never eat asparagus in New Orleans.

don't know why this made me LOL....

Blah to ice cream, fast food, butter, donuts, Starbucks contrived drinks, soda pop. whipped cream on/and strawberry shortcake, beer, musicals, reality TV or all TV for that matter. Oh and domestic cars and for the most part, ironing. Cellphones and cruises too.

cheers--Sharon

Canuk reminded me of something when she mentioned contrived drinks from Starbucks. It''s not that I dislike Starbucks -- in fact, I love a few of their things. I just HATE how they''re supposed to be ordered. I feel like I need a dictionary to order anything and it bugs me. There should be a tutorial on how to order fancy coffee.

I also hate The Sinmpsons and any cartoon geared towards an older crowd.

That''s really interesting about cilantro as I also think metalic. Not so much soapy, more like minty and metalic. Weird

I just order a medium or large green tea when I go to SBux, which is rare. I''m not a fan of needing to know Italian to order coffee/tea. Not knowing Italian makes me feel grossly unsophisticated, which in turn makes me not want to go to Sbux. Sooo, if I MUST go, I refuse to conform. Ha!

Kids, I really do not like being around kids.

I had a traumatic childhood and I'm sure it stems from that.
Kids remind ME of when I was a kid.

Cilantro- tastes like old kitchen sponge

Star Wars (gasp!)

How could ANYBODY not like cilantro!


I hope I don''t start associating with old kitchen sponge

haha

i know, it''s hard to believe, right?

when i was in the netherlands this summer, a girl i knew said she HATED cilantro, because it tasted like soap. weird, right? i came across something online, and apparently some people''s genes make cilantro taste like soap to them! isn''t that crazy? i can''t imagine life without cilantro, ha ha
