Oh...now do the same meme but for blue cheese, cilantro, olives, kimchi, and sashimi!!!

    Hating cilantro at least often comes with a good excuse. Maybe they have that gene that causes it to taste like soap.

    That's the exact same gene that also causes onions to be way overpowered and make them not like them. Source: have that gene

    I don't know why people think that it so narrowly impacts just the way that cilantro tastes. It actually has a broad impact across many different flavors. There's a good chance that most of the adult picky eaters you've ever met are just people that carry this gene.

    Onions aren't the same, they have a mild flavor that blends with most everything. Cooking it with stuff can make them mostly disappear and just add a mild savory note. Eating caramelized onion on top is a strong flavor but most of the time it's melded in.

    Green tea, red wine, and cottage cheese too.

    And TOMATOES. What? I have personally met people who literally declare to the whole room that they're allergic to tomatoes, then chow down on pizza or fries with ketchup.
