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.
