There are many beloved foods that people enjoy, such as sweet tea and chocolate.
However, not everyone loves the same foods. A recent Reddit thread asked, "What's a very popular food that you don't like?" The thread received thousands of responses, with people sharing their dislike for a variety of popular foods.
Chocolate
One foodie shared: “I've always been the mortal enemy... I don't like chocolate.” While another foodie shared by saying: “I’m cool with it. I know you won’t steal my stash.”
Grapefruit
A Reddit user shared: “Grapefruit. It looks cute and appetizing, but it's bitter. I feel betrayed by a fruit.”
Many suggested ways to make it better by adding sugar, broiling it, and enjoying that way. Many also complained: “Grapefruit interacts with every medication.”
Beets
One foodie shared: “They taste like dirt. My older sister held me down and stuffed dirt in my mouth when I was 5; every time I've tasted a beet I might as well be back on the ground with a mouthful of dirt.”
However, another user shared some tips to make them taste better: “Beets are so good for you. I put them in smoothies. They are also rather sweet when you bake them. Oh, sweet dirt vegetable 😆”
Celery
One celery hater shared: “In soups, it's fine. Prefer it's not there, but there's no other instance where I won't pick out every bit of it.” Some even added: “It’s the worst. Peanut butter can’t even save it.”
Ketchup
One foodie shared: “The smell makes me wanna gag and the taste is so so salty." Another user chimed in: "Ketchup is awful. And it stinks."
Tonic Water
One food lover shared: “Tonic water. It tastes like the feeling of disappointment.” With many agreeing saying: “Unless accompanied by gin.”
Olives
One user shared: “I can’t stand them either. It’s like eating a spoonful of salt.” Many were in agreement with another user adding: “Thank you for validating me. Anytime I say this the next thing is always “But what about black olives??” All olives. ALL.”
Peas
One user shared: “This is how I know that people have differences in how foods taste and not just differences in preference. If peas tasted like they do to everyone else as they do for me, they would never have made their way as an edible option.” Many agreed, however one shared: “I don't like peas, love split pea soup. Don't know if they're the same kind of peas though.”.
Sweet Potatoes
One foodie shared: “Everyone acts like it's a magical vegetable and some amazing, healthy replacement for regular potatoes. I can't stand those things. The only time I've ever tasted something with sweet potatoes in it that I didn't hate was sweet potato pancakes. Maybe because pancakes are already sweet so the flavor made sense. Sweet potato fries are just insulting.”
