You know how to can get turned off of eggs if you get the egg ick.

Well I’ve gotten that with coffee and pomegranate molasses too, what foods have done that for you?

And bonus, anybody know why that happens?

Also the ick isnt just getting bored of smth after a while, it’s one event that ruins that food for you. Also can’t be a food you are having for the first time. Ideally if it is being consumed in a normal way and its not the preparation of the food that ruins it.

My mom was cooking some beef and brown sauce dish as I was reading a book with cannibalism at way too young an age. I associated that smell with eating human flesh for over a decade and would have to leave the house as it was cooking.

Orange soda.

With my third baby, she did not want to come out (in stark contrast to her sisters, who all seemed to want to give me about one hour of advance notice before getting born) and the midwife said, before trying induction, try castor oil, sometimes it will kick the labor on. Not a spoonful, no. A whole bunch. And don’t puke it out. I chased it with orange soda because I liked it but figured I could certainly manage without it.

Oh God. I couldn’t even look at orange soda without nausea for several years. And it didn’t even work, I still had to get induced!

That’s 7up soda for me. It tastes like having a stomach bug.

Cherry for me. Not fresh cherry, but artificial cherry flavour. Inthinknwe must have had cherry flavoured paracetamol or something similar as I vaguely remember a horrible syrup.

Peanut butter smells bad. Peanut butter smells like mouse traps.

No one else could set them (disabled, or cried about it) so it was all on me

Can’t stand the smell of peanut butter now

I’m extremely allergic to it. I smell it and I can’t actually describe it as food - it just smells like danger.

Are you able to tell it is toxic to your system by the smell alone, or do you recognize the danger by association ? because you’ve been stung before ?

It’s so hard to say because the allergy has been present my whole life - many exposures. The same thing goes for the taste of peanuts/peanut butter - I couldn’t actually describe how it tastes because I’m about 30s from throwing up.

My parents took me to an Italian restaurant when I was a child, and the smell of olive oil was so overpowering I couldn’t get in. Still have trouble with olive oil to this day, maybe 15 years later
