It always makes me so disappointed. I have tried cilantro probably a hundred times now always thinking yeah, it makes things better for others it has to taste fine this time. So I use it when I make tacos or anything if someone else is eating with me. Yet every time, still tastes like fucking soap. Lol. I really want it to not… Not sure why.

Id ask if we could trade genetics, but your father may or may not be Satan and I’m not sure what that entails. Fuck it, I’m down

I think it’s understandable that you want something to taste nice, especially if others seem to enjoy it and you feel like you’re missing out.

If you want to know ‘why’ it tastes like soap it is literally genetics. You have a mutation to your taste buds!

I also have a fun one, I can taste Geosmin and 2-Methylisoborneol, which most people can’t. I can taste it in quantities as low as 10 parts per trillion.

It is a shitty superpower because it makes water that is perfectly clean and safe to drink taste like mud.

Nope, I only know because my cities water supply was switched one day and our tap water went from the being like the finest spring water to a muddy puddle.

I contacted the water supplier and found out Im a mutant… and that you can mostly fix it by boiling the water.
