Ah, **hardygrrl** , I know what you mean! I’ve always hated milk, even as a kid. The texture of it, the way it coats your mouth and throat, leaving that nasty milky residue—yuck! I don’t care if it’s chocolate, strawberry, or (as is popular here in RI) coffee flavored–it all tastes awful to me! And skim milk! It’s water with a faint, milky aftertaste–equally awful! Just pass me some more of that calcium fortified OJ please! ---

Those bubbles in my mouth and --yuck!–my throat feel like they are burning me. I do not drink soda, sparkling cider, champagne, beer, nada… it is NOT FOR ME!** Evo, you’re not the only one! I think soft drinks are painful. I decided to give them up, and now I only have one maybe once a month, or less. When you don’t drink them very often, it’s more obvious that they’re really unpleasant. But I do like champagne…mmmmmmm, mimosas…drool. I’m a freak, I don’t like fish or seafood. I think anything that lives in the water tastes nasty. ME ---

I like “almost flat” carbonated drinks. The bubbles hurt. I hate asperagus (aside from the hideous smell, it alters your urine) and WHO THE HELL SAID COFFEE WAS GOOD??? ---

A tip for those who hate carbonation: Pour your drink into a glass FROM A HIGH ALTITUDE (preferably 2 feet) so the carbonation fizzes out. Less fizz, less pain. ---

I really don’t like chocolate. I would much rather have a fruit flavored desert than any form of chocolate. It doesn’t taste _too_ bad, but it’s damn near impossible to get the taste out of your mouth. ---

I like pretty much everything and anything…with the notable exception of any “food” to come out of Taco Bell. Everybody loved this place in college, and I couldn’t stand nary a whiff of it. Blech. Meximelt my ass. ---

Chocolate. I hate it. The smell nauseates me. The tastes makes my stomach lurch. I’m tired of people freaking when they hear I don’t like it, so for several years now I just say I’m allergic. ---

Popcorn. Equivalent to styrofoam with a little salt and butter. ---

Fruit in general. I simply can’t stand fruit. The only one I can tolerate in tiny doses is pears, and they have to be fresh, with a certain texture to them. Just thinking about it makes my stomach clench. ---

Wow. People who **don’t like cheese**! I thought I was the only one. We should organize a group and hold parades. Down with you evil cheese oppressors! You fiends that make fun of me for ordering a regular hamburger! You bastards that snicker when I ask for a cheeseless pizza! You don’t understand the emotional trauma I go through EVERY DAY. Having to hide it from dates. Never being able to have dinner at someone’s house. Always having to make excuses when someone offers cheesecake. [hijack] My hate of cheese runs so deeply, my mother used it as punishment during my teen years. It is also my why I haven’t joined the military…I was told mac & cheese was a main staple. I am serious when I say that I would have no problems being shot at, but simply could not stand a DI making me eat that vile substance.[/hijack] :mad: [sub]I’m being sarcastic…Well, no I’m not really.[/sub] ---

My brothers (and sisters) let us unite under our hate of the vile substance which shall now be refered to as **The Evil C**. Brother **Spit** I know your pain. I know anxiety of keeping your excessive hatred inside. We must join forces and smite **The Evil C**. We have to spread rumors that it casues syphilis and herpes! **The Evil C** makes you fat! Not eating **The Evil C** makes people like you! **The Evil C** is nothing more than bovine nutrient mush that rots into a slimy solid! How can you put that into your body? We must crush **The Evil C**! The Evil C is cheese! Oh no! I said its vile name! Ahhhhhhh! ---
