There are a number of food items that are stereotypically hated, particularly by children. Brussels sprouts and broccoli, for example. However, everyone’s taste buds have their own little personality, so some folks end up surprised when they try popular and beloved items and end up hating them.
A netizen asked “What food/drink are you convinced people are pretending to like?” and people share their favorite examples. We got in touch with the person who posed the question to learn more.

Red Bull. Tastes fruity, but also fishy, and also like old copper pennies. I’m convinced people only drink it because it amplifies the drunkenness.

Sparkling water. Like I genuinely don’t see the reason for it and it somehow tastes bitter. I feel like a lot of people drink it just cause it’s fancy? Idk.

IPA.
Now I love your regular lagers, especially draught on a hot sunny day. I even developed a taste for fruit beers too, there's definitely a time and a place for them.
But IPA.... I swear to Sue Barker that it tastes like how cat wee smells. You know that pungent almost ammonia type smell?
That's IPA for me.
I love the cool label designs and names, they have all done well with the branding, but I sort of think that's 75% of the appeal.

Prime.
My nephew gave me a spare bottle and it tastes like if you just ate the icing off an entire birthday cake, despite it being low in sugar.

Brioche bread should never go near a burger (it is a sweet bread) the 'chef' who made that one popular wants sacking.

Beetroot, it tastes like dirt and can’t understand why anyone would want to have it in anything.

Expensive wines. In blind taste tests even ‘experts’ can’t tell them apart from cheap supermarket bottles.

Coffee, high street coffee anyway. 9 times out of 10 it tastes like ashtray but people are still willing to pay £3+ for it. Every morning, because 'they can't even'.

Coffee. Tastes awful and makes me feel sick. Doesn’t even wake you up it literally makes me sleep.
