People Online Really Tried These 29 Foods And Drinks Before Knocking Them, But Can’t Stand Them
Article created by: Monika Pašukonytė
Back in the day, I was a big fan of tropical fruits and, as you probably guessed, durian was at the top of my list of desires. I'd read a lot about its incredible taste and even more incredible smell. And so, after several years of dreaming, in 2018 I went to China and there, at some street diner in Guangzhou, I finally tried it... What can I tell you? Really tasty, but the absolutely hellish smell completely discouraged me not only from the taste, but also from further fascination with this kind of fruit.
In fact, there are now over 7 billion people in the world, and about the same number of taste preferences in food.

Overnight oats. They're basically lumpy, cold snot in my throat first thing in the morning. I gag just thinking about adding chia seeds.
#8
Most definitely Brussel Sprouts. I've tried them in so many forms and yet I still hate them.
#11
I know this is a drink, but sparkling water. I like some flavors, but I can’t stand that after taste. Bleh
#12
Octopus.
The texture just isn't for me. I want to like it. The flavor is fine, just can't get over the chewing experience.
#15
Peeps, the Easter sugared candy. I like to think I can digest anything covered in sugar BUT NOT THAT....
#18
Caviar . The salty /fishy /cold/ bubble tea texture combo makes me retch . Smoked salmon too - I’m a terrible one for cold fishy amuse-bouche.
#19
Olives. I've tried many varieties. I always try them because they look like they'd be good but they're just not.
#23
Tofu. I’m trying to be more health conscious and environmentally friendly with my eating habits. I’ve tried tofu several different ways, but haven;t found a flavor/style I like enough to keep eating.
#28
Durian.
I went to a restaurant that served all the types of durian on a platter, all the way up to musang king. Hated every bite.
My fellow Asians judge me for hating it, but I refuse to be shamed. My American palate won't let me like it.
There's a reason they're banned on public transport in Asia.
